THE CRUEL PRINCE by Holly Black

Rating: 3.5 / 5 I have had THE CRUEL PRINCE by Holly Black on my shelf for what feels like ages, but have hesitated to pick it up after seeing very mixed reviews. It was announced as a #backlistgotbackedup readathon buddy read so it was finally time to give it a shot. THE CRUEL PRINCE… Continue reading THE CRUEL PRINCE by Holly Black

As a child she… Continue reading INCENDIARY by Zoraida Córdova

WORDS OF RADIANCE by Brandon Sanderson

Rating: 5 / 5 I have been participating in a readalong of Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive series. These books are huge (so big that the UK editions are split into two still sizeable books), so reading with others seemed a good idea. WORDS OF RADIANCE is the second book in the series. Set on… Continue reading WORDS OF RADIANCE by Brandon Sanderson

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA by Gaston Leroux

Rating: 3 / 5 THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA by Gaston Leroux was the October pick for the #classicsbuddyread on Bookstagram. This was actually a reread for me, but I felt like I hadn't fully concentrated on the book the first time I read it for a reading challenge early last year, so I decided… Continue reading THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA by Gaston Leroux
