Book Club December Review: How To End A Love Story by Yulin Kuang
After last month's unfortunate choice of book, and because it's cuffing season, I was keen to pick something easy (and romantic) to read...

Book Club November Review: Restoration by Rose Tremain
I hate to admit it, but this book managed to defeat me and I haven’t actually finished it yet (although I will finish it, I swear!)...

Book Club October Review: We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
Since it's spooky season (and it's one of my favourites), I really wanted to choose a horror novel for October's book club pick. I read...

Book Club August Review: Almond by Won-Pyung Sohn
For August, I wanted to try something different. Perhaps not as different and out there as Kayleigh's Monsterbait romance from last...

Book Club July Review: Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta
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

Book Club June Review: The Institute by Stephen King
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

Book Club May Review: The Right Time by Danielle Steel
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. A quick Google search later, I'd come up with Zadie Smith's Swing Time which turned out to be so painfully boring I quickly came up with another option. I saw some rave reviews for The Right Ti

Book Club April Review: The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose
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
