The Measure by Nikki Erlick – REVIEW
The Measure is a colourful epic. A sharp, smart outlook on the depravity of society. A propulsive plot with hidden undercurrents. An author that has her pulse on the future of dystopia fiction. The Measure is going to make you cry! It came out of the left-field for me. One minute I’m reading and the next I’m imagining their positions. My husband, my children, me…what would I do if I was faced with the same fate? Life would of course change, but I would change everything too – my lifestyle, my way of thinking, I’d want to take advantage of every day, every moment, the little stuff would feel like…

Blog Tour| Crossing In Time by D.L. Orton
Crossing in Time truly does transcend genres, I never felt I was able to fully pin down a specific genre. It’s heavy in science fiction with a romantic element underpinning its DNA. It drums a love story through its veins, one that lasts the ages and time and you should be aware of this if you delve into its pages. I was gifted an audio copy of the book and I wasn’t disappointed at the realism and the sheer talent of the narrators in bringing this story to life. The passion they both felt for the story was conveyed and it made it a truly immersive experience. I’m such a…

Review: The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood
Well I totally feel behind the trend on this one, but I decided to give it a go. It’s been on my TBR for such a long time but I’m really not a hyped book kind of person, so I don’t know exactly what I was expecting. It was an eye opener in a lot of ways. I can see a huge amount of significance and realism in the elements of the book. In such a technologically advanced world I shouldn’t even believe that things could manifest itself into the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, but there you have it. Women have no rights. No sexual rights to do with…

Review: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
On the blog today, I bring you the review for Ready Player one by Ernest Cline. I like to bring a variety of reviews both good and bad. This one won’t be a good one, but I like to be honest and give my thoughts and feelings because first and foremost, I do this for the readers. This book originally appealed to me for the geek culture and 80’s reference that the book was based on. I love a geek infested read but I was left feeling on the most part unimpressed throughout most of the book. Now, I know what you are thinking, that this a majorly hyped book,…

Blog Tour: A Savage Generation by David Tallerman
Thanks to Anne @ Random Things Blog Tours and the author for my copy of the book and my place on the blog tour. The book world is rife with Post-Apocalyptic novels of zombies, disease and despair. A Savage Generation cracks that mould and gives us something alarmingly real. A situation we can envision becoming reality in glorious HD. In a world where anything is possible, the idea that new strains of illness and disease can be borne into chaos and rapidly end the existence that we have come to know and rely on. You shouldn’t be scared of monsters under your bed, this is the real horror story. Real…

After The Flood by Kassandra Montag
I was provided with this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. Wow absolutely blown away Montag’s debut novel. This is a fictional high five to feminism and female centred characters. When the publisher put out a request for bloggers to review this I just couldn’t say no. The cover is artistic and intriguing and if anyone knows me well, they know I’m a huge climate change worrier. This dystopian gem ticked all the boxes and had me hungry for more…just one more page turned into just one more chapter and before I knew it was done. This book is the so unputdownable, it’s got…
