Posted on 3 February 2021 by Dove

Back on the YA train! We got the film of this at Sneak some time in 2017 (sob), and I have a soft spot for Groundhog Day stories (and I liked the ending) so I was happy to put it … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Orangeboy, by Patrice Lawrence

Posted on 12 January 2021 by Dove

I can’t say too much about this one, because the unfolding sense of mystery was one of the best parts. It’s a little younger than my usual reading material, actual YA, not YA aimed at 20somethings, if you catch my … Continue reading →

Oh boy was this a book. While I was reading it I kept track of many of my immediate thoughts in a large Twitter thread which you may enjoy! I am going to spoiler the hell out of this book, … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Promise of Shadows, by Justina Ireland

Posted on 14 January 2018 by Dove

Posted on 11 January 2018 by Dove

Thank you all for accompanying me on this journey. I feel much better now that I’ve written out my feelings on this trilogy. Also, spoiler alert ahead. All the others had spoilers alerts too, but this is the finale so … Continue reading →

You’ll be glad to know that this is much shorter than my ramble on about Clockwork Angel. Most of what I said there still holds here, so let’s just take all that as a given. Now that we’re in the … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Clockwork Angel, by Cassandra Clare

Posted on 6 January 2018 by Dove

This is going to be an absolute monster post, so bear with me. I don’t usually talk much about the authors of the books I read, because I like a work to stand on its own merit. But Cassandra Clare … Continue reading →

Thoughts: Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging, by Louise Rennison

Posted on 21 December 2017 by Dove

I don’t always put children’s books on my list, but I must confess, I stalk the Goodreads of all of my friends and I have a friend or two who received these books very kindly so I put it on … Continue reading →
