Conversion by Katherine Howe review

Hey! So as you can probably seem my blog looks completely different and yay! I love it! I hope you like it too. So a big thanks to my friend who helped me to do this, and by helped I mean he wrote all the code for me because I'm useless with computers, if you guys have any advice on how to improve it or if you just love it let me know. When I picked up this book it was something like £2.50 on amazon, so to be honest I just noticed the mention of witches/the supernatural and the price I just immediately bought it and jumped in without knowing anything; due to this I had no idea this was based off true events which makes this book slightly better. 'It’s senior year at St. Joan’s Academy, and school is a pressure cooker. College applications, the battle for valedictorian, deciphering boys’ texts: Through it all, Colleen Rowley and her friends are expected to keep it together. Until they can’t. First it’s the school’s queen bee, Clara Rutherford, who suddenly falls into uncon

A few thoughts on The Silver Star by Jeannette Wells

This was one of the few (well, it was more like many) books I stole from my parent's bookshelf and it was the first I read f rom that selection. This was one my mum personally recommended as she was throwing books away, and I now trust her with book recommendations more after reading this. 'It is 1970 in a small town in California. “Bean” Holladay is twelve and her sister, Liz, is fifteen when their artistic mother, Charlotte, takes off to find herself, leaving her girls enough money to last a month or two. When Bean returns from school one day and sees a police car outside the house, she and Liz decide to take the bus to Virginia, where their widowed Uncle Tinsley lives in the decaying mansion that’s been in Charlotte’s family for generations.   An impetuous optimist, Bean soon discovers who her father was, and hears stories about why their mother left Virginia in the first place. Money is tight, and the sisters start babysitting and doing office work for Jerry Maddox, fo

A Court Of Mist And Fury by Sarah J.Maas (ACOTAR #2)

This book is great - BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE ANYONE'S NAMES. Sarah J. Maas you are fantastic, but please publish something that tells me how to pronounce these names - I feel so bad that I can't. I've heard everyone pronounce them in different ways and I'm just very confused. Besides that, this book was amazing, I genuinely have no words for how amazing it was with all it's little twists and turns and ugh - I need the next one right now. This book was so long that I can't talk about everything though, so I'm just going to mention a few points, ' Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people. Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and

A few thoughts on Zenith by Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings (a quick little review)

Image
So during my holiday I read the short ebook Zenith; Part 1 of The Androma Saga, and enjoyed it more than I thought I would despite it being so very, very short. Sasha (abookutopia) has been one of my favourite booktubers for a very long time, and I was so excited to finally read some of her work, and for her first writing piece I don't feel like it's half bad - especially with everything else she does on the side. Lindsay Cummings on the other hand I don't know very well, but I've heard about The Murder Complex and the premise always intrigued me, so I'm excited I was able to get a chance to read some of her stuff. 'Most know her as the Bloody Baroness, the captain of a fearsome glass starship called The Marauder. Androma and her crew strike terror in the hearts of those who cross them amongst the many corners of the Mirabel Galaxy.  When a routine mission goes rogue, the all-female crew is captured by a bounty hunter from Andi’s past and forced into a job
