Book Review – Lie, Lie Again

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced reading copy of this way back in April. It was actually the first copy I got off of Netgalley. The blurb of the story intrigued me. Three women, living in the same apartment complex, with very different stories. Sylvia, a professional woman in her mid-thirties with a… Continue reading Book Review – Lie, Lie Again

Book Review – Birdsong

This is another book that I've wanted to pick up for such a long time. I came across a copy in a charity shop a couple of months ago for only $2 and bought it. It's been sitting on my shelf ever since. But after reading a heap of different genres, I decided to give… Continue reading Book Review – Birdsong

Book Review – Lost You

I'm really in the mood for thrillers at the moment and this one really takes the cake! Lost You is the story of two women, and one child. Libby is an aspiring writing and single mother to Ethan. On a well deserved holiday for the two of them, Ethan is abducted. A frantic search around… Continue reading Book Review – Lost You

Book Review – Queenie

In another case of my judging a book by it's cover, I picked this one up thanks to it's brilliantly bright pink cover. I'm personally not a fan of pink but this book repeatedly caught my eye, and I'm glad it did. Queenie tells the story of a young Jamaican - English girl, Queenie. She's… Continue reading Book Review – Queenie

Book Review – The Most Difficult Thing

I remember the day this book came out. I was at work and noticed it sitting on our new releases trolley. The spine immediately stood out, because of the way it was written. At first glance, it said "The Most Charlotte Difficult Thing Philby." Annoying... So obviously I picked it up and read what it… Continue reading Book Review – The Most Difficult Thing

Book Review – Mama’s Boy

Another book that came heavily recommended to me! In fact it got to the point where I couldn't have a conversation with a certain friend without her asking me why I hadn't read it yet... Turns out she had a good point. Mama's Boy is written by the Oscar-winning screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black, although we… Continue reading Book Review – Mama’s Boy

Book Review – Where The Crawdads Sing

I had heard many good reviews of this book since it was first released, so when I found it for sale for only $10 I had to get it. The book tells the story of Kya, known in her town as 'the Marsh girl.' Slowly abandoned by her family, she is left alone at their… Continue reading Book Review – Where The Crawdads Sing

Favourite Books – Educated

This is possibly one of my most recommended books over the past couple years. I got this as a reading copy at work, back before it came out. It didn't really appeal to me originally, but after it had been through a few co-workers, I decided to give it a go. I finished it in… Continue reading Favourite Books – Educated

Book Review – The Recovery of Rose Gold

The Recovery of Rose Gold (also published as Darling Rose Gold) bears similarities to the true story of Gypsy Rose. A daughter suffering from munchausen by proxy at the hands of her mother. At the age of eighteen, Rose Gold was the prosecutions star witness, sending her mother to prison for 5 years. Her crime,… Continue reading Book Review – The Recovery of Rose Gold

Book Review – The Better Liar

It's been a while since I read a thriller and this was a good one to get back into it. I picked this book up because of the cover (sue me) and the blurb sounded really good! Two estranged sisters have to get back together to collect their inheritance after their father passes. Sounds simple… Continue reading Book Review – The Better Liar
