December Wrap Up

So December has been a very hectic month for me. I've had 2 interviews for unis and a late trip to London to figure out if I wanted to volunteer abroad (I don't 12 weeks is too long for me). So instead I'm planning a month backpacking through Asia. I've been given a place at …

Champion by Marie Lu

The previous novels in this series were ok and I liked them enough but there was never that thing that made me love them, but this one was just so good in comparison. This book brings some interesting questions to mind about the politics of our own countries. Antarctica won't give any medical help to …

DNFs of 2016

So last week I did a post on my favourite reads of 2016, this week I'm doing the complete opposite and doing a post on my least favourite reads, aka the ones I didn't even finish. Luckily all of the books are ones I requested on netgalley and not ones that I spent any money …

Half Wild by Sally Green

I'm desperately waiting for Half Lost to be sent to me by the library because this book left me reeling. One of my favourite things about this novel was how it was completely unafraid to talk about being gay and being interested in someone of the same gender. Nathan's best friend, Gabriel, is in love …

Between Shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys

Read this book. I love Ruta Sepetys' writing and this book didn't disappoint. I was hit really hard by it. She knows how to write really horrible thing that actually happened in real life from a teenagers perspective without making them seem like an oblivious idiot. Similar to Salt to the Sea this focuses on …

The Martian by Andy Weir

I did a bad thing and watched the movie before reading the book. I honestly wasn't even interested in reading the book until I watched the film though. The film was pretty true to the book I felt. I'm sure you know what the Martian is about but if you don't it's about a guy …
