The Tournament by Matthew Reilly book review

I really shouldn't be at all surprised that yet another Matthew Reilly has crept onto my favourites list. I adored this, sordid moments and all. This is an atmospheric delight as we romp through history in the midst of a thrilling mystery.

The Adamantine Palace by Stephen Deas book review

Gosh, I absolutely adored this. I've had this book on my shelf for the longest of times and have been so hesitant to pick it up because the average rating on Goodreads just isn't that great. Because, excuse me, this is brilliant? I don't know how this isn't on everyone's list for dragon-loving fantasy readers.

The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman book review

This was genuinely awesome. I loved every minute and I really loved the full-blown Irish sass of the main character, Kinch.

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree | book review

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree book review

A new favourite for my list, to be sure. What's not to love in this adorable cosy fantasy? This lived up to the hype and beyond for me.

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison | book review

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison book review

This is bizarrely brilliant. I listened to the audiobook and I'm very glad I did because while I don't know how all those names and places are spelled, I'm sure I would've had a canniption trying to pronounce them myself!

Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson | book review

Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson book review

There are so many mixed reviews for this, and I don't know what everyone is on about. This is totally awesome and I was completely absorbed from the first to the very last page.

Hover Car Racer by Matthew Reilly | book review

Hover Car Racer by Matthew Reilly book review

This was absolutely thrilling - 100% fun in all the ways you can expect from Matthew Reilly. I had been so curious as to whether this would live up to his usual standards, seeing as it is quite different to his norm. But this was completely addictive and totally unputdownable, just like all his other stuff.

The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman | book review

The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman book review

A fabulous follow up to The Thursday Murder Club! I once again listened to the audio version narrated by Lesley Manville, and I can't recommend it enough. The narration is fantastic and the plot is just as good as the first time around.

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, 5-star book review

So the hype was 100% true and this is probably the best thing you're going to read for a long, long time. To say I'm obsessed would definitely be an understatement.

The Guncle by Steven Rowley | book review

A new favourite for me - a beautiful, LGBT+ story about family, grief and self-growth.
