The Memory Police is a murky submersion into one of those slow-burn nightmares. You know the sort, where you don’t realise it’s a nightmare until the very end. I wouldn’t say it weighs up against the classic dystopian books out there, but it’s still an interesting, unique, thought-provoking read. … More Book Review: The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa
This is probably going to be a relatively short blogpost because I just know I won’t be able to put all my thoughts onto the page about this book, The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. Literally, my head is a jumbled mess when it comes to this book because there’s just so much I want … More Book Review: The Salt Path by Raynor Winn
I’m just going to start this post with a big ol’ super easy summary: I frikin’ loved this book. There we go. That’s all I needed to say. Review over. I couldn’t just leave it there, could I? It’s massive and it took me ages, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel lost without it … More Book Review: Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami
So I know I’ve been super quiet here and over on Instagram these last few weeks. It really wasn’t my intention to take such a drastic step-back, but I did, and I think it was because I was majorly over-thinking this post. I know, stupid. Stupid because there should never be a need to over-think … More What I’m Currently Reading: Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami
It’s such a weird time, isn’t it? Things you thought of as everyday, things that you never thought you wouldn’t be able to do anymore, like going to Costa, or going out of your way for a walk, going into London or travelling to see a friend, you just can’t do now. And you know … More What I read in March
Just a quick mini-post here to update you guys on how my January went, and what my plans for February are, through books! After receiving sooo many books for Christmas, you would have thought my January would have been full of lots of reading and discussion and all-round bookishness. Turns out, nope. That didn’t happen. … More My January & Februay in Books
I’m such a sucker for noir crime dramas. And nordic noir crime dramas are like a sugar high for me. I love the gritty police reality, the harsh, desolate, urban scenaries, the gruesome crimes committed. I just had to buy this book, The Chestnut Man by Søren Sveistrup. … More Book Review: The Chestnut Man by Søren Sveistrup
I’d only just finished The Shining when I started Dr Sleep. I was excited to pick-up where we’d left of, to find out what happened to Danny, but more importantly, to see if the demons from the infamous Overlook Hotel had truly been vanquished. The story follows Danny through his tumultuous adulthood. Moving from city … More Book Review: Dr Sleep by Stephen King
I haven’t always read the Waitrose Newspaper. I didn’t even know it existed until I was away in Devon. We had a typical holiday evening where we needed something for dinner, but had nothing in. We were out and about and the only place along our route was, you guessed it, Waitrose.
Little did I know this was going to be one of those major holiday highlights.
As human beings, we always seem to be so fascinated with death. The more detail, the better, even if we’ve got a squirmish dispotition. Even if we really don’t want to hear what happened we tend to still ask the questions. What happened? How did it happen? Could it happen to me? We don’t always … More What I read: I AM I AM I AM by Maggie O’Farrell
