The purpose of this post is really to discover if I agree with the popular opinion or not - that is to say, have I also rated the well-loved books highly? To do this, I basically went to my Goodreads shelf of 'read' books, and sorted them according to average rating. I'm looking at the … Continue reading The Highest Rated Books I Have Read
April was the month of the OWLs Magical Readathon and I guess it was somewhat successful? I read nine books in total, eight of which I used to fulfil the prompts, and that's more books than I've read for OWLs than before! However, I didn't manage to get the career I was hoping for - … Continue reading April Wrap Up
My favourite genre is fantasy, but one of my other all time favourite things to read about is the Tudors! I love this era of history so much and I will pretty much read anything about it. Unfortunately, the Tudor historical fiction scene seems to be very dominated by romance/slightly bland books that are churned … Continue reading My Favourite Books About The Tudors

This tag … Continue reading The Ultimate SIX Book Tag: Anne Boleyn Edition

Eleanor: In case you didn't know, Alice and I are absolutely OBSESSED with the musical Six - which is a musical based around the six wives of Henry VIII (and we are also obsessed with the Tudors). I was so excited when I found these tags (there's one for each wife), and I just knew … Continue reading The Ultimate SIX Book Tag: Catherine of Aragon Edition
Before we start this review I want to point out that it has been 16 months since I read, and loved, Nevernight, and I have finally finished the sequel. No, I don't know what I was doing either.
