Features, Monthly Round Ups
This month has been an absolutely fantastic month for reading. After an end to the year last year that saw my personal life, longer books and proof physical copies mean that I wasn’t finishing books I didn’t even do a round up in the end.

7 Authors I Want to Read in 2024

Features, Recommendations
As 2023 has gone by, I have used a combination to decide what books I read next. This combination is usually ranked firstly by whether I have the audiobook available to listen to at the same time, then it's whether the book has been requested for review and then finally I base my decisions on simply what I want to read next. Please note that this article contains affiliate links. This means that if you choose to purchase any products via the links below, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. In 2024, I most definitely want to explore some authors I read in 2023 and some new authors who I simply don't know how I've not managed to pick up any of their books…

Why epic fantasy is the greatest form of fiction

Why epic fantasy is the greatest form of fiction

Features, Opinion
I don’t think it’ll be a massive surprise to anyone that fantasy is one of my, if not my most, favourite genre of book. There’s something about losing myself in a completely fictional, made up world that captures my attention and leaves me far more impressed than any other genre. Please note that this article contains affiliate links. This means if you choose to purchase any products via the links below, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These affiliate links do not affect my final opinion of products. In fact, I would go as far as to say that epic fantasy may be the best example of fiction you can read and with the likes of Fourth Wing and Harry Potter pushing those who…

The Four Books the books I read in November 2023 and what I thought of them

Features, Monthly Round Ups
Welcome back to another round up of all of the books I've read over the previous month. This month I read four books, which seems to be the absolute most I can read of any month if you've read any of my previous round-ups. Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

November was the month of Rebecca Yarros. With Iron Flame coming out, I wanted to get Fourth Wing read before it came out so I could read and review that before reading and reviewing Iron Flame too. Both of them feel…

The most-read articles on my blog in October 2023

Features, Monthly Round Ups
Every month it's fun to look back and see which of the articles I published that month had the most views. Not only does this bring me some joy to see what people actually want to read but it can serve as analysis for future articles and making sure I'm writing what you guys want to be reading. The majority of my traffic comes from Google as opposed to my social media channels so this is often what people are searching too. Therefore, below I have listed the top five most-read articles I posted in October. This isn't a list of every article I have on my blog as this would likely stay the same. However, I do often post these statistics whenever they highlight any interesting trends, so make…

The four books I read in October 2023 and what I thought about them

Features, Monthly Round Ups
Yes I'm writing this blog post incredibly late, but to be honest with how busy I've been recently, you're lucky you're getting it all to be honest! Anyway, let's get into the four books I read in October and what I thought of them. So, as the title suggests, in October I managed to read four books. Which when you consider three of them were over 500 pages, I think is not a bad showing to be honest. What I've done below, as I do with all of these sorts of articles, is list the four books, include the summary from my review, a link to the full review and a link to buy the book itself from Amazon if you wish. If you see a book you've also read…

What are your tips for someone who is in a reading slump?

What are your tips for someone who is in a reading slump?

Features, Tips and Tricks
Let me first state a couple of things before I start this article: you don't always have to be reading to be a "reader" and you should never feel like you're failing anyone if you're not reading. Reading is a hobby, do it when you enjoy it and for as long as you enjoy it. However, what if you're in a slump? What if you're in the mood where you just would rather be doing anything rather than reading but you absolutely know once you're 20 pages into a book, you'll absolutely love it? Well, I went out and asked my social media audience what their suggestions would be and have come back with some ideas. I had quite a few responses with a few that matched one another. Instead…
