Weekly Reading Update | 2021 | Week 1
Good evening friends! How are you all doing? I’ve been busy watching lots of trash, but also somewhat enjoyable, movies on Netflix and generally just chilling. I have been off work since Christmas Eve and it really has been a much needed break. However, as quickly as Christmas arrived it was done and over within, in what felt like, minutes. It’s back to the grind tomorrow and I am NOT looking forward to rolling out of bed to do some actual work at all. So to distract myself from the fact that it’s Sunday, and I had planned to post a weekly reading update today, here I am. Week 1…

Book Review | Playing Nice by JP Delaney
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!
