A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER BY HOLLY JACKSON

 A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER - HOLLY JACKSON

Innocent until proven guilty?

I really enjoy mystery books like this because it makes you price up the clues and come.up with your own theories as to who did it, as well as following the ones that the characters come up with. And I love when things are suddenly thrown at you, that make your theories impossible. That being said, I've never read a book quite like this one where it's trying to prove innocent the murderer who the police believe was guilty. It's a very interesting concept for a book.

I like the way that the pages are set up, some text conversations, some emails, some reports from.the investigation and then sort of "main story" pages where it's more of a narration of the character rather than in first person. It keeps the story very fresh and makes it easier to read. I could not put this book down, if I hadn't had any plans for the day, I definitely would have read this in one sitting!

No spoilers obviously, but I definitely did not guess/figure out the ending. Some people might do but I didn't think it was predictable, that's for sure.


Happy reading!

HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY BY BELLA MACKIE

HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY BY BELLA MACKIE 6/11/22 I will start by saying I enjoyed this book. I really did. But my goodness was the main character infuriating!  Without giving too much away, I had a very love-hate relationship with her. I understood what she was doing and why but also thought it was a bit over-dramatic. She did seem to understand the world we live in though, and how fake and commercialised everything is these days which was actually very interesting to read, even if she was a bit blunt. What I will say is that it didn’t end how I thought it would. Which was actually a nice surprise and had me smiling when I finished (not that it was necessarily happy, it’s a book about killing your family after all) but if you do read it, I hope you get what I mean. Happy reading! Lotte :) xxx

CAN'T WAIT TO READ IN 2023!

  CAN'T WAIT TO READ IN 2023! 12/1/23 Hello! Last year was definitely a success for my bookshelves and I. I read a total of 35 books, a lot in the crime/ mystery genre. I think my top 3 from last year were: Loveless by Alice Oseman Two Can Keep A Secret by Karen M. McManus The Bridgerton Series by Julia Quinn (that may have been about 9 books but they were all wonderful) I've also realised I tend to enjoy books when I'm reading in the right environment. Sitting in my bed is great but I enjoyed that more when it was on a break at work and I had about 2 hours solid reading time. The best place to read for me in on a train journey, hands down. But each to their own I guess. So my aim for this year is to read more than last year which should be doable. It may help me save money if I stay in and read rather than going out (which is my main aim for the year!) If you have any recommendations for books to read or new ones being released this year, please let me know! Happy reading!

TOMORROW WILL BE A GOOD DAY BY CAPTAIN TOM MOORE

  TOMORROW WILL BE A GOOD DAY BY CAPTAIN TOM MOORE 9/12/22 I don't know how else to describe this book other than "heartwarming". What an amazing man Captain Tom was. His story from early childhood to his 100th birthday was gripping honestly, with his war days being a centre part. I don't want to give too much away of course but I especially loved him talking about his passion for motorcycles, either riding them or fixing them. I also liked some of the more raw moments when he talks about deaths of loved ones and his marriages. He talks in such a positive way, about how things happen for a reason and whatnot. Captain Tom looked onto life is such a wise way it seems and to think about how much changed in his lifetime too, good and bad, it's a really inspiring read. Overall I just want to urge you to read this story.  Thank you and God bless Captain Tom Moore Happy reading! Lotte :) xxx
