Poetry is one of my favourite forms of the written word, as mentioned before. I also find that it’s the perfect type of literature to pick up when you don’t have a lot of time to spend on a full length book, but you miss reading. In keeping with my decision to review poetry more often on my…
When I read the synopsis of The Hazelwood, I was intrigued. I saw reviews mention ‘fairytale’ and ‘twisted’ and thought this was the perfect book for what I was in the mood for at that moment. I’ve been reading classics, poetry and literary fiction continuously for the last few months and I needed something dark. The Hazelwood sounded…
With Everything I Never Told You, Celeste Ng’s debut novel, I knew I was going to read every book she writes from then on. So when Little Fires Everywhere came out, I had to have it. Unfortunately, I did not have time to pick it up immediately as I would have, but while on my week off from…
Helium by Rudy Francisco The first time I heard the name Rudy Francisco was when I came across one of his poems, featured below, and when I saw Helium on Netgalley, I didn’t think twice before getting it. It’s fantastic, I loved almost every poem written in Helium. It’s raw, beautifully written and it might even make you…
Miss Jane was born in the early twentieth century into a family who lives on a farm in rural Mississippi. The Chisolm family did not plan on having any more children, especially after Jane’s mother has suffered miscarriages, stillborn babies and the death of a toddler prior to her conception. Jane was born with a urogenital sinus anomaly,…
It feels like the past year has been the year of me reading a ton of mysteries and thrillers and Then She Was Gone is another one that I’ve enjoyed. It’s been a while since I’ve read an almost 500 page novel in 8 hours or less, but that’s what happened with Then She was Gone. It was…
Poetry has always been one of my favourite genres when it comes to the written word and yet I’ve never really reviewed any of them on my blog! Most of the poetry I read are online, so I rarely document them on goodreads, but recently I’ve been purchasing poetry books because I’ve really been in the mood to…
The last five books I’ve read (excluding the poetry books, of course) have been enjoyable, yet not exactly what I would call fast paced, but Final Girls by Riley Sager is definitely a fast paced book as you would expect from a thriller. The synopsis of the book interested me and the fact that Stephen King blurbed the…
I might be guilty of inundating my readers with book reviews, albeit not even regularly. Life has been busy for me lately, to the point where I didn’t have the energy to think of content other than book reviews. I simply reviewed the books I’ve been reading and I haven’t been reading that much either. So I do…
