<b><i>Darling - come alone to the shed.</b></i>
I’ve found it so hard to write a review for this book because it was such a moving, descriptive novel. It was sort of one of those reads that I loved for no particular reason, it was just a gorgeous book at the right time.
This book was by no means an “easy read”, it has some very dark and upsetting subjects running throughout it but it was one of those reads that I fell into so easily and smoothly every time I picked it back up. It was a complete pleasure to read. I gave it only 4 stars because various things in my day-to-day life made my reading of this very choppy, so I think I’d like to read this again in the future in a more relaxed time and maybe this would even get a 5 star rating.
I think this book and its characters are definitely going to stay with me for a while. Valentine was a precious soul, and in his own way, John was too.
Thanks to my quarterly challenge for forcing me into reading this because I don’t think I would have picked it up for years and years otherwise!

War is here.
Toxic mist drives all life to the brink of destruction and the conqueror queen, Ines, has her talons in the kings of the realm.
Bleak, having discovered her true heritage, must now scour the lands for the one thing that might save them all.
But the search is a treacherous one - and it will push her to the very limits of endurance.
Amidst secrets, lies and the intricacies of battle, Bleak and her companions learn just how far they'll go for the ones they love. But will it be enough?
As deadly forces grapple for power across the continents, families, friends and allies unite to take one final stand.
This has definitely been one of my favourite reads I’ve the latest 2 years! This series has been an emotional rollercoaster it’s had deaths of loved characters and one mean bitch as the baddie! The group of hero’s and each intricate life story of each has been fantastic! I love the writing style it doesn’t try to be over complicated it’s flows so well! I would recommend to those that enjoy that epic journeys and big battles kinda reads!

Jennifer Daniell (108 KP) rated Eden (The Eden Trilogy, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2018
I loved this book. LOVED. One of my top reads in the past couple years for sure. I received it for free after winning a Goodreads giveaway. I don't want to give anything away so I will be general in my review. The concept/plot are unique but believable. The characters were really well rounded and relatable. You are immediately sucked in to their world. This was so much better than a lot of the dystopian books that are being pumped out right now. I love that it could stand alone as well as being the first installment of a trilogy. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
Heather (4 KP) rated Mrs Robinson's Disgrace: The Private Diary of a Victorian Lady in Books
May 31, 2018
I received this book through a First Reads giveaway and although I ended up somewhat liking it I had a very hard time getting into and through the book. There was a story to be told but not in the way I thought it would be presented. The book is just what it claims to be, a diary of Mrs. Robinson's accounts mixed with trial proceedings and such. There were a lot of facts, which may have been why it took me so long to get through it as I was thinking it would be more of a story, not a recounting of events. Either way it was an okay book.

Okay - given the Love & Gelato book and it's one of my fav reads during the month I read it - I had super high hopes for this book, and it sort of let me down. I like the fact that it gives you a bunch of Irish facts within the book, I couldn't get enough of those parts of the book - the rest was just overall a slow read, I don't know if I just didn't like that nothing truly happened (until near the end). The concept was sweet broken hearts mending but i just wanted more than I got. Still a great adorable read and I'm glad I read it!
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated nightbird (Gilded cage #3) in Books

fantastic third book in the series
This is the third book in this series by this author.This is the final book in this series. Wow, what a final book, I just couldn't put this book down. This is darker and more intense than the other two books. This series can not be read as stand alone reads, they must be read in order. This is a dark romance read with an element that is beautiful interwoven in the story. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended series
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

I read this book to my sons when they were of an age to appreciate it. We all enjoyed it, especially as we all made a weekly pilgrimage to the local library on a Saturday to swap our read books for fresh reads.
Colfer takes a classic tale of the plucky heroes pitted against an evil villain (in this case the titular librarian) and had a great deal of fun with it. It is an easy read, funny and engaging and enough jokes aimed at younger children and adults for it not to be a chore for parents to read. And of course a great introduction to the author.

Pip pip Hooray!
As chick lit goes you could do worse than this. Basically it’s the trials and tribulations of a modern love story involving a clown called Pip and an accountant named Zac. Totally predictable but also somehow comforting like a cwtch under a warm blanket on a cold day.
In some parts you want to shake the pair of them. I cried at some parts (I know!!! Anyone who reads my reviews knows that this isn’t unknown!!!) but I did enjoy the book very much. If you wants a well written, heartwarming piece of fluff, this is the one.
