Goodreads: Book Reviews

App Rating

Offers book suggestions

I love this app. I didn't realize at first that you could actually use it as more than a book reviewing site. You can add books you have read, books you'd like to read, and books you are currently reading. You can choose the edition of the book you're reading so it keeps an accurate account of how far you've made it through the book. I also really like that it keeps track of the dates you read the book. The app is linked to other social media accounts so you can see what friends are reading or wanting to read and vice versa. Goodreads offers suggestions of what to read next or books that are popular in your favorite genres. Honestly have nothing bad to say about it!

I use the term epic very rarely particularly when I'm talking about books but Hero of Ages in fact the entire Mistborn trilogy was epic. Such a fabulously created world of fantasy with amazing characters and fantastic plot lines.

A fun book about a generally taboo subject

I first came across Caitlin Doughty when her YouTube channel 'Ask A Mortician' came up on suggestions. I loved how she was able to talk about such a typically taboo and awkward subject in such an engaging way, and when I found out about her books I knew I had to read them. She writes as she speaks, which means these books often take a light hearted approach, which can make the subject matter easier to deal with. I highly recommend this book to anyone who isn't afraid to step outside the norm :)

What better season than autumn to savour two books about culinary icons — a memoir by Alice Waters, founder of Chez Panisse, and a biography of Patience Gray, a locavore long before the word became popular.

And a book about an unsung theory of Darwin’s seeks to explain beauty as an evolutionary function.
