Feb 2019 Books vs Moods

This has been an interesting month in terms of the variety of books that I read. I may not have read as many physical books as I would have liked to. I intend to make up for that in March, but it remains to be seen. If you are new to my blog, as a…

Murder by Matchlight by E.C.R.Lorac

I joined the Crime Classics newsletter after the last book I reviewed: And Death Came Too by Richard Hull and I had an email inviting me to join their book reviewers club! This is a lovely type of email to wake up to. They are going to provide me with one book per month to review and…

Adequate Yearly Progress by Roxanna Elden

I do not know what prompted me to download an advance copy of this book via NetGalley but I did. It was published in august of 2018, and a surprisingly great read. I say surprising because I went in blind and the beginning of the story was interesting but I did not realise I would…

Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden

There is a story behind my finally getting my hands on the series and if you bear with me I will try to be as concise as possible (not too concise since that might be boring). I first noticed the second book of the series when I started blogging, it was an advance copy I…

The Two Hearts of Eliza Bloom by Beth Miller

  The reason I put up a very shady looking picture of the cover is because when I was given access to the advance review copy it looked like this. Now that the time has come for the release it looks like the girl with the umbrella which does not match the book's emotional quotient.…

Please Don’t Feed the Mayor by Sue Pethick

I was a little surprised at how this story turned out. The title and the cover indicated a more frivolous attitude than the actual content.I am not denying the lightheartedness of the book but pointing out the fact that it was more than just that. There is an epilogue of sorts at the end which…

#TopTenTuesday – Books I loved with few ratings (on Goodreads)

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. You can check out the That Artsy Reader Girl page for more details about the post. Almost the same situation as last time: My Tuesday is almost at an end. I was…
