For August, I wanted to try something different. Perhaps not as different and out there as Kayleigh's Monsterbait romance from last...

Wow. Where to even start with this one? I saw this novel suggested in a book lovers group I am a member of, with mixed reviews from those who had read it. I sent it to CY as a joke at first, however the general consensus seemed that it was worth a read, so I decided to give it a shot. I’m not sure what I was expecting when I chose a book called Morning Glory Milking Farm , but I wasn't quite prepared for what lay inside. The book follows the story of Violet who gets a job at

For the month of June, I was keen to read a book that didn't belong to the fantasy or thriller genre, both of which Kay and I usually gravitate towards. Whilst I was brainstorming story ideas for my novel, I borrowed the help of Stephen King's On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft  to give me inspiration—maybe even a pep talk. Ever since, I've been meaning to read one of his books. He's such a great writer; it's surprising I've never read any of his works. Which brings me to June

I have read several Danielle Steel books, and somehow CY has not even heard of her so I wanted to choose one of her books for May's book club. For some context, we are both approaching 30 (more rapidly for me), and in the run-up to this I wanted to choose a coming into your 30's book.

Since April is my birthday month, I was eager to choose a book that I would love and enjoy, something to satisfy my need for a good read. I thought a thriller book would be a great pick, as I wouldn't get bored with the pacing, and the mystery surrounding the murder would keep me intrigued and curious until the last page. Jeneva Rose's The Perfect Marriage appeared on my Goodreads feed with an average rating of 3.47, submitted by almost a million reviewers. That's pretty imp

Having recently spent 1 month travelling in Egypt, this book drew me in with its Egyptian lore combined with magic, mystery and a...

After ending on a high last month with sexy dragon riders and irresistible tension between Violet and Xaden, I was left with no choice but to select Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros, the sequel to Fourth Wing , as February's book club pick. It was a no-brainer, since neither Kay nor I could wait any longer to continue with the series after the outrageous cliffhanger in the previous book. I would advise those who haven't read Fourth Wing or Iron Flame yet to stop scrolling, as t

It's not every day that a series creates the buzz that Rebecca Yarros managed to do with the Empyrean series. And I can honestly say...
