I am notorious for picking my monthly TBR and then chucking it out the window depending on the mood I’m in later on. Playing Nice was definitely not even on my radar at the beginning of the month, but the other day.. I changed my mind. Picking the next book to read is always a struggle, since I have well over 100 unread titles in my to-be-read pile. I am currently still in Estonia, which means that the majority of the books available are on my Kindle. Normally I’d use a TBR Jar but that, too, is in England and unavailable. Therefore I ran a quick poll on my Instagram…

Book Review | I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid
What can I say about I’m Thinking of Ending Things? Firstly, we were only five days into the month of July and I had already finished my pick for @bookshelfraiders book club. The theme was nature. Hence the snowy tree on the cover. Secondly, what a journey it was..

Book Review | The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Today's review is for The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. A book that sat on my to-be-read shelf since 2018, and that I avoided like a plague, afraid I'd be the only one who didn't like it.

Book Review | The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
The Turn of the Key is the first Ware book I've ever read and boy I am glad I pulled it out of my TBR jar this month. Enjoyed the ink out of it. Here's why:

Book Review | The Passengers by John Marrs
One of my favourite June reads, hands down. Since I decided to start walking more, I’ve been listening to a number of audio books. I chose The Passengers purely based on the fact that I absolutely adore Clare Corbett’s voice, and since she’s one of the narrators it was a yes from me. I went into this book with my eyes closed and I regret nothing!

Book Review | Snow in April by Rosamunde Pilcher
My copy of Snow in April by Rosamunde Pilcher is an Estonian translation called Aprillilumi. It’s one of the shortest books I’ve read so far this year, and to be completely honest the jury is still out. It’s one of those books I’d probably never have read if it hadn’t been on my nan’s bookshelf. I tend to pick a few books every time I go to visit and this was one of my choices in April.

Book Review | The Shut Eye by Belinda Bauer
Oh, you know it’s time for another Belinda Bauer’s book review! I’ve raved about her since Snap (review here), and I liked both Blacklands and Rubbernecker. I find her writing really easy to follow and I can easily get lost in the stories she tells through all her books. The Shut Eye is no exception.

Book Review | Watching Edie by Camilla Way
My colleague left Watching Edie on my desk the other day and promised me a wild ride. And a wild ride it was. I haven’t read any other books by Camilla Way, but as it transpires her new thriller Who Killed Ruby is already available on Kindle, and paperback will be released in June. It sounds so good!
