You might wonder who The Radium Girls were…. They were called The Girls With Radioactive Bones. There were newspaper headlines such as ‘Living Dead’ Win In Court’ about them. And all that – almost a hundred years ago. Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars I’m going to tell you a very painful, sad, but strong story of fighting for…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars So. How does one start a review for a book as big as this one..? Wool by Hugh Howey feels like the best book I’ve had in my hands this year. I know it’s only April. But I don’t feel like I’ll read another one like it soon. Books like this…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★✮ 4.5 stars If you read my blog, you probably know that I choose YA books quite rarely. I mean, the premise has to be pretty special for me to do it. But this one just had it. And I wasn’t wrong. How can I sum this book up? It brought me…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane sounds like just another pretty name, when you first spot it. It brings promise, as does the author’s well-known name, Lisa See. A promise of secrets, twilight and fantastic cultures it might take you too. I’m going to tell you that it delivers. Brace yourselves…

Goodreads average 3.87 ★★★★✮ 4.5 stars I’m sure you’ve heard about this one. It’s another fun, ass-kicking and quite inventive Urban Fantasy series, right along the lines of Rivers of London and the like. Except this time, we’re talking catering. And not just any kind of catering. I found out about this series from Tammy’s blog. I wasn’t going to pick up…

Back to the blog and so long to the unannounced, unplanned hiatus. Or rather, I hope so? Like some of you might have noticed, or at least my egoistic and attention craving little blogger-self hopes you have, I have been away from blogging for at least two weeks. A good, solid fortnight. And none the wiser, cause it wasn’t planned and I…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars I’m finally going to review Faithful by Alice Hoffman. Originally, this was the first book I read this year. But I was having one of those “book too good to write review” things again. And now I’ve reviewed Throwing My Life Away, but still haven’t reviewed Faithful. Tut tut,…
Continue Reading→So it’s time for me to own up to the fact that I like fun books. Girly books. Highschool nostalgia books. CHICK BOOKS. Cause I’ve been waaaaay too intellectual to read any fun stuff. It was all a no-no, cause I mean, you’ve got to read all the tough stuff so everyone knows you sleep with your smarty pants on.…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars So I’ve just finished this very awesome read that I am dying to put into a review. Like RIGHT NOW. NAO. (It’s the middle of the night.) I liked it so much I literally found the author’s website, clicked “email” and wrote a message basically along the lines of PLEASE…

A stunning cover and the promise of a heart-warming story – who wouldn’t want to get their hands on this? That’s precisely how I’ve felt ever since I saw this book on NetGalley back in autumn. Unfortunately for me, the book was already archived when I found it – which meant I couldn’t request the ARC anymore. I was disappointed,…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★✬ 4.5 stars In short: The Comet Seekers is a wonderful book. I loved it. Main feel: layered, nostalgic, deep and emotional. Slow, will focus on feelings, coping with them, family events, and not action or developments, will also jump around timelines. However, very magical, very warm and personal. I loved this…

Goodreads Book on Amazon Audiobook on Audible This post contains affiliate links ★★★★★ 5 stars So I’ve been putting this one off for quite a while. Because sometimes, when you read a really, and I mean REALLY good book, you’re just afraid your review will not do it justice. I still think that. But, despite that, I have decided to finally…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars So I read a really enjoyable book this week. It was one I got for a voucher my friends gave me for my birthday, which was ages ago, but I only spent it last week. I got two books, one of those was The Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. This…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★☆ 4 stars Do you know that feeling when it’s raining outside and you curl up with some tea and read? The day is gloomy and silent, there’s no one else at home, but you like it that way. You don’t need good weather to read. On the contrary, seeing it rain…

So here I am, thinking about how to start a blog post about a book as good as this one. As one of my Goodreads friends says, the better the book, the harder to write a good review of it. This is precisely the case. So first things first. Quiz time! a) Do you enjoy scifi at all? if No, well. Well.…
