Tome Topple Readathon FAIL!

I only read 1 book during the readathon  I was planning to read 2 tomes, but FAILED! 

• Digital Fortress by Dan Brown 

This is all fine and good, but still as massive FAIL! 

All Info about readathon below:

Tome Topple Readathon is happening from midnight in your timezone on November 18 to 11:59pm in your timezone on December 1st!

A Tome is a book over 500 pages.

CHALLENGES:

Things I might read in December

Ok, so I haven't made a definite TBR for December, as I don't really have many books on my shelf left to read. I know that's a good thing, but now I don't have much to choose from, so I'm using the Library far more often.

So I'm definitely going to read:

• Aerie by Maria Headley 

•  The rest Of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

Because I am using the library a lot more, I don't know what I'm going to have planned for the rest of the month, but hopefully, by the end of the month, I'll have more than those two books. I look forward to finding out what everyone has to read this month too.

Happy Reading. :)

November Wrap Up

How did you do this month?

A Ginger Bread Cafe Christmas | Review

I loved the first novella in this one, I found it to be sweet and very cute. I couldn't get enough of this one. 

The second one was pretty average, though, I found that the vibes were a little off, but I'm unsure if it was because of a certain character or just in general.

 All I have to say about the third one it that I couldn't get through it. It wasn't great, though I did skip to the end to get an Idea of what went on, it was still just utterly tiresome. 


I guess this one just wasn't my jam. Unfortunately just 2 stars on Goodreads this time. Was hoping for something a little more from this little Christmas book.  

The ruler of books tag !!

• What book would you make everyone read? 

Winter's Snow by Carrie Fletcher ( it's a short story, read On The Other Side first), as it's very cute and extends the previous book nicely and is the most recent book on my favourites shelf.

• What would you abolish about book construction?

Comparing books to other popular books. For example Divergent and The Hunger Games, though in some respects are similiar, but I hate it when they make you expect one thing and it's too different and really dissapointing. 

• What author would you commission to write any book?

I think if Ransom Riggs and J.K Rowling wrote a book together it would be pretty wicked right? (can I answer a question with a question?)

• What book would you demote to the library basement to make room for new books?

Divergent.  #sorrynotsorry

• What cover artist would you commission to make a mural? 

I love the artists who did Tales Of The Peculiar and Shock Of The Fall, they're both so damn pretty.

• What characters face would you put on a coin?

Hmm, good question. Maybe Delores Umbridge, if only because she'd make a great coin (if not Dumbledore just because Dumbledore).

• What book would you award "Ruler of books" 2016 ruler of books to? 

Probably Love From Boy by Roald Dahl, since it's one of my favourite books this year and one of the only non-fiction reads too.

Tome Topple Readathon

Tome Topple Readathon is happening from midnight in your timezone on November 18 to 11:59pm in your timezone on December 1st!

A Tome is a book over 500 pages.

CHALLENGES: 
1. Read more than 1 tome
2. Read a graphic novel 
3. Read a tome that's part of a series
4. Buddy read a tome (use Goodreads and twitter to find buddies!)
5. Read an adult novel

All I have to read so far is 

• Digital Fortress by Dan Brown (Part of series/more than one tome)

The Christmasaurus | Review

The Christmasaurus is by Tom Fletcher and is published by Penguin.

This book is about a young boy called William and a Dinosaur called the Christmasaurus finding each other and themselves.

As you can tell the story was very Christmassy and was very cute, including the illustrations which were incredible and was interesting throughout.

The pacing was reasonable and I found the book to be just complex enough for the age range it was aimed at.

I found the writing to be very simple and easy to read, making it a lot easier and much quicker to read. The dialogue was simple, but it helped the story along a lot and made it as good as it can be.

Most of the characters were loveable and were fun to read about. I loved William, his dad and Santa throughout. Though there is 2 character here that you won't like, one being a villain and the other being on the naughty list, but eventually you get to understand this character.

Overall a great book with a 4-star rating on Goodreads. I will read more by this author and can definitely
 recommend to all ages.

Billy & Me | Review

So in this book, Sophie meets gorgeous actor Billy, but now she has to deal with love, loss and heartbreak whilst being thrust into the limelight.

I found this to be very easy to read and very quick to get into. It was interesting throughout and never got bored.

The writing was very good and was very quick and easy to read. It helped everything to be as good as it possibly could be.

I found most characters to be relatable and think Sophie and Billy were interesting and fun. There was some scenes in the book that did irritate me with what they'd say within the book, but liked them overall. Molly was also a great character and was loveable all the way through. Though at the end, you do get very emotional over her.

Overall a great read and I gave it 3.5 stars overall. I will definitely be reading more by this author and can recommend for sure.

The "I Never" Book Tag

1. "I never read that!" Name a book that you've never read, that everyone else has.

Everyone seems to have read A Throne Of Glass series. Personally I don't get it and haven't read it.

2. "I never read anything so awesome!" Name your favourite book.

Eleanor And Park is one of the most awesome things I've read.

3. "I never thought I would get through it." Name a book that you didn't like, but powered through it anyway.

For this one I had to choose Ready Player One.

4. "I will never finish that!" Name a book or a series that you don't plan on finishing.

I couldn't finish Look Who's Back. I just didn't get it, I didn't get the humour. I don't know if t was just me, the translation or if it was just a crappy book.

5. "I will never regret reading that." Name a book you read solely on a recommendation that you ended up really liking. 

I was recommended Mister Monday and was given the books. I don't remember much of the series, but I don't regret it either.

6. " I would never do that!" Name a relatable book character who made choices you didn't agree with, or did things you would never do.

Albus Potter, I would have liked him more if he didn't make daft decisions.

7. "I never wanted to admit it." Name a book that you were embarrassed to say you read or were embarrassed to carry around with you.

Luckily I read this One To Hold on Kindle, so it wasn't as bad.

8. "I never read anything so heartwarming." Name a book or a series that really touched your heart.

Eleanor And Park was the most adorable thing I've ever read.

9. "I never laughed so hard!" Name a book that made you laugh out loud.

Love From Boy was a very good book that had me smiling through some of Roald Dahl's childhood letters to his mother.

10. "I never could have made it through childhood without it." Name a favourite childhood book or book series.

I'm going to name an author rather than a book here and that has to be Jacqueline Wilson. Her books will always be treasured by my inner child.

A Thousand Nights | Review

Although I found this easy to follow, I found it very boring. I liked the idea, but it was very slow and there was a lot of unnecessary info dumping. 

It was easy to read, but there was too little dialogue in the book. Especially between husband and wife, there was no storytelling between them, which is the whole point of the book.

Only the main character was realistic, she was strong and powerful young woman, but all side characters were just that, pushed to one side. The author didn't even give most of them names, so I can't even tell you what characters I did actually like. 

I unfortunately have to give this a measly 2 stars, I won't be reading more from the author and can't recommend.

Harry Potter And The Cursed Child | Review

I found the story within itself, was good. It was exciting and fast paced, though a little jumpy. It was very easy to get into, but didn't always get why there was so much time travel, I'm just wondering if it was all completely necessary?

I found that the format was very easy to read and storm through, thank the heavens for scripts.

This book carries on from the last book in the Harry Potter series. You will get the plot made of using mostly their children. Though you will still see a bit of the original trio. Though they have changed dramatically, with adulthood and adult stuff having changed how they behave and think.

Although I liked Albus, I didn't connect with him how I'd expect and think he made some stupid decisions throughout the book (along with Harry).
I really liked Scorpius though, he was very sweet and don't know how he wasn't in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw.

The antagonist I will keep hushed about, because I don't want to ruin the ending of the book for you.

Overall the book was jut OK and received a 3 star review on Goodreads. I can only recommend if you are really excited about it.

The Muse | Review

Disclaimer: I received this book for free for an honest review.

I unfortunately didn't like this one. I found this book to be very confusing, I don't know if it's that It's an uncorrected proof or not, but it just didn't work. What I managed to read of this book, I only enjoyed half of it, if all of the book was like that, I'd have given it all 5 glorious stars. 

I wish I liked this book more than I did. If only I liked the the 1930's part of the book as well as the '60's part. I loved Odelle and Lawrie and thought they were adorable and easily likeable, but I found the 1930's narrative to come out of nowhere and didn't really make much sense to me. Not that the characters weren't any good, I just think with the confusion I was disorientated enough to not really care.

I much preferred The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton which received a 5 star review. Unfortunately I didn't care for this one and can only give it 1 star (Goodreads). That's not to say it's a bad book, I just didn't care for it very much.

On The Other Side | Review

All I have to say, is wow, just wow!!  

It took me a little while to get into, but once I was in, that was it and I was amazed, enthralled and utterly enchanted.

I absolutely loved Evie so much. She was kind and so well developed she was practically gorgeous. Her relationship within this book was (for once) realistic and I loved that. It wasn't rushed of forced and made flowed naturally. 

Love, love, love this book 4.5 stars on Goodreads If I could, I can't recommend highly enough.
