HOW TO HANG A WITCH BY ADRIANNA MATHER

 HOW TO HANG A WITCH BY ADRIANA MATHER

07/11/20


The main thing about this book that I love is that it’s not a classic teenage book. Yes there is romance, but the whole plot doesn’t revolve around it. There’s not the usual drama you have in many teen books which can often be cringe-y.

It’s an easy story to sink into, with no laborious introduction, it just gets straight into the story. This may be because most people have heard of the Salem witch trials, so there is no need for a massive explanation in the beginning to set the tone of the story. Whatever it is, it made the book impossible to put down from the get-go.

It reads at a nice pace, you find out information as you go, not all rushed at the end like a lot of teen books. The author gives you time along the way to figure things out for yourself rather than just springing everything on you at the end which I thought was nice.

I would love to see a movie adaptation or a TV show of this book, I think it’d be amazing and something quite out there and different from what we have right now.


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
