Favourite Books



These were really hard to choose because I have genuinely adored most of the books that I've read these past two months, but I think that This Song Will Save Your Life and Fangirl just edged it for me. Plus look at those beautiful covers.








So yeah, I wasn't really up to that much these past two months. It looks like I've read more than I have because I've been reading a lot of comics lately, and I probably shouldn't count them but I'm going to anyway. I might do a round up post of mini reviews for all the comics because I kind of want to talk about them a bit more. I think I'm also going to try and do a post about Sleepy Hollow because these days all I ever really want to talk about is Sleepy Hollow. But seeing as last month I literally only posted 3 reviews (that's not even a review a week), I wouldn't get my hopes up..

Sorry about being so slack lately, but I think I'm just in a bit of a blogging/reading slump and I will hopefully be back to normal soon! I might even start commenting on other peoples posts again, which I haven't done for ages... Whoops. 

So, yeah! That's sort of it, I guess. Here's hoping November is a bit better, eh?

Monthly Round-Up: December

It feels a bit weird starting off the new year with a recap post, but hey! December was a pretty good month for me reading wise, and also in general because Christmas, though I didn't get any books.

Vicious review

Vicious V.E Schwab 10th January 2014 (UK) Titan Books (UK) Victor and Eli, due to a research project gone wrong, become ExtraOrdinaries with supernatural powers. Ten years later Victor escapes from prison,determined to get his revenge on the man who put him there, while Eli has spent the years hunting down and killing other EOs. Driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the arch-nemeses have set a course for revenge... Vicious was a really interesting book that was kind of out of my usual reading comfort zone, I guess (it's an adult novel and I don't usually go there unless it's for college), but regardless of that it was book that I could not resist. I mean, science? Vengeance? Superpowers? Who could say no to that?! Not me, that's for sure. The real core of this novel is the relationship between Victor and Eli, how it all goes wrong and they are both sort of driven by each other towards this crazy path of revenge. From the start in college, their relationship is kind...

Dead Ends review

Dead Ends Erin Lange February 6th 2014 (UK) Faber (UK) Dane Washington and Billy D. couldn't be more different. Dane is clever and popular, but he's also a violent rebel. Billy D. has Down's syndrome, plays by the rules and hangs out with teachers in his lunch break. But Dane and Billy have more in common than they think - both their fathers are missing. They're going to have to suck up their differences and get on with helping each other. There are answers to be found. Powerful, funny, moving - the ultimate coming-of-age novel . I was a little surprised at how much I properly liked Dead Ends. I knew that I would like it, of course, because books about friendship are kind of what I'm all about a lot of the time. Don't know if I've ever mentioned that (I've definitely mentioned that I'm always going on about friendships I LOVE THEM). But I read it while I was having a bit of a Tamora Pierce thing and I thought I was only in the mood for 90s YA fantasy...
