Bookworms Explained #5: The old age question of 'What's your favourite book?' and why we can NEVER pick just ONE

Bookworms Explained #5: The old age question of ‘What’s your favourite book?’ and why we can NEVER pick just ONE

Welcome to what will hopefully be a fairly long series of posts, where I attempt to explain the behavior and thoughts of a bookworm. If you’re a fellow bookworm, leave a comment at the end and tell me your thoughts on the topic. As something I will say, all bookworms have many similarities but we’ve also got our differences. There’s always the odd exception to the rule.  Hey fellow bookworms and…

Beauty and the Beast ~ Book Tag

Beauty and the Beast ~ Book Tag

I found this tag HERE and thought it looked like fun, so here we go. I have to say I am a fan of the older Disney movies. I’m not so keen on the new animation for the more recent ones, they creep me out a bit. Haha.  ‘Tale as Old as Time’ – A popular theme, trope or setting you will never get bored of reading Love triangle. Even though I do complain about it A LOT if it’s not done well, I also do…

So I may have failed miserably at this read-a-thon but that’s because my family received some bad news on the Monday and it meant that I wasn’t in the mood to read but write instead. However I read one book and started another that week, which isn’t bad. I just wish I’d have been able to read more.   This was my pick for a book under 200…

Illuminae by Amie kaufman and Jay Kristoff ~ Review+Discussion

Goodreads Synopsis ~ The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in…
