    The Court Of Miracles by Kester Grant | Review

    September 5, 2020 /

    Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Voyager for an ARC of The Court Of Miracles. A retelling you say? A mash-up between The Jungle Book and Les Misérables?  That was an instant moment of hell yes, I am reading that!  The Court Of Miracles is the first book in what is anticipated to be a three-book series and boy if the other two can deliver on what Book 1 has done then Kester Grant is on to a winner.  This Young Adult Fantasy brought everything to the table and more.  Espionage.  Political intrigue.  Double crossing.  The story flew through me much like an elegant swan preparing for flight.  It was smooth…

    I Solemnly swear I am up to no good. Sirius Black is officially my favourite in the series.  Anyone that can exist in Azkaban without having his soul dwindle into an empty pit deserves his happily ever after.  Harry Potter is embroiled deeper and deeper into the dark workings of Voldemort.  Each year his connection to him is a tangled web of mystery and suffering.  Deceit and lies threaten to tear him down- loss of potential, loss of love and a deep ache that just festers.  The only two anchors he has is Hogwarts and his best friends, Ron and Hermione.  The summer at the Dursleys has been as terrible…

What world fills you with the chills. Is adventure more your bag or do you prefer horror? Please join in, I’d love to read all your bucket lists too!

    Blogtober: My Favourite Booktubers

    October 11, 2019 /

    Although I have only been blogging for five whole months, I have been following certain members of the book community for far longer. I have been an avid fan of booktube for around a year. Since starting blogging I now follow a heap of others and in this post I’m going to share my favourites. A Beautiful Chaos of Books I love the quirkiness of this channel.
