All The Broken Places by John Boyne

Books I have reviewed by the author on the blog earlier: A Ladder to the Sky, The Echo Chamber I must begin by admitting that I have found that I have an affinity for the author's works. Even if I do not like the end result, the journey to that point makes from some swift…

The Love of My Life by Rosie Walsh

Narrated by Imogen Church, Theo Solomon I read a book by the author quite early in my blogging journey (The Man Who Didn’t Call ), and although it is not highly rated online, I found it brilliant. I read that in the physical version and loved the suddenness of things. I wanted to try this…
