Sea of Memories by Fiona Valpy

   I started this book having been let down by the other audiobook that was next in my queue. From the very first chapter, the narration soothed me and got me interested at the same time. Maybe I am a sucker for accents of the west, there is a heavy Scottish presence here and I…

Aug 2018 Books Vs Moods

My extra long holiday has officially ended. I have big plans for the next few months. It remains to be seen how well I see those plans through(fingers crossed!) I had a great month in terms of the quality of books. The numbers may not be as high as some of the previous months but…

The Memories of Us by Vanessa Carnevale

The last book I read with a similar storyline was What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty and Remember me? by Sophie Kinsella (which was before my reviewing days). I really enjoyed my evening with Gracie and her efforts to take charge of her life. The thing about the 'amnesia trope' is that if it is well written,…

Crochet Animal Rugs by Ira Rott

I have dabbled ( as I do with most things) in crochet multiple times. My crowning glories were the slightly tight winter hats I made for tons of people last year. When I decided to progress to something more cuddly, the online resources or those of my library did not get me excited about any…

My Sisters And Me by Lisa Dickenson

I wanted to read something lighter ( at least in terms of content), so I randomly chose this book out of my long list of books to be read. This story was not what I was expected it to be. The tale is of three sisters who come together to fix up their old house,…

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Ever since I started blogging, I have seen this book being discussed. This was even before the book became a film ( which I have only seen the trailer of and did not think the actors suited the characters, but who knows, maybe the full movie would prove me wrong). I was not really tempted…

Emotions Explained with Buff Dudes: Owlturd Comix by Andrew Tsyaston

I have laughed with a few of these comics online and when I saw a whole book of them available on NetGalley(Link), I jumped at the chance. The book is filled with takes on different parts of life by a person who overthinks and has some form of anxiety at most times. Putting it in…

The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon

I have conflicting feelings about this book. I requested it from my library because I heard a lot about the author's style and the fact that the upcoming release ( which I did not get approved an ARC of) is well anticipated. From the very first chapter, I got the feel that I was reading…
