If there’s one thing I would put on a par with reading, it’s talking about what I’m reading. The desire to share my thoughts on what I’m reading, and to keep track of my own personal reading, is what has prompted me to start this blog. I hope that through this blog I will get the opportunity to share my interest with others.

I enjoyed book one, but hadn’t loved the book as much as I’d hoped to. However, this was a much more engaging read. Darker in tone, focusing on a range of concerns and the magic felt more natural in this. Moving on from the events surrounding...

Nobody But Us is being touted as a must-read of 2022, and I can completely see why. Topical, cleverly constructed and a book that was very hard to put down. The book starts at our end point, and I’m always a sucker for stories where we’re working our...
