I really enjoyed keeping track of what I read last year so I thought I would bring that forward in to 2019. Rather than having individual book reviews, I thought I would simply look back on what I read in the past month and share my thoughts.
Therefore, if you’re looking for some book inspiration, then read on!! This month has definitely been a bit of a mixed selection…..
This month has been a busy one to say the least but I have managed to squeeze in quite a bit of reading which has been great. With a mix of historical, thriller, mysteries and modern: it’s been a diverse month on my bookshelf to say the least. This is what I’ve been reading:
As Mental Health Awareness Week draws to a close, I thought this would be a good time share Clipped Wings by Jennifer Gilmour with you. Filled to bursting with horrific recolletions of domestic abuse, but also true stories of survival. You won’t help but be inspired.
I came across this book through a few other blogs first with the Introverted Book Nerd and then again with the Boston Book Reader and loved the sound of it. A quick search revealed it was on sale so I ordered it immediately. I was in the middle of another book at the time but was itching to get started. I don’t know why but something really appealed to me about Final Girls. And seeing as it’s been a while since I read a good thriller (one of my favourite genres), I couldn’t wait to get started.
This is one of my bargain books that I managed to pick up on a charity stall for 20p…..yep, bargain! I love a good sci-fi book and although I thought my YA literature days were long behind me, I liked the sound of this one so thought I would give it a go. A week later and I have to admit that I really enjoyed it!
To the outside world Ember Hill is an ordinary girl, but Ember has a deadly secret. A dragon hiding in human form, she is destined to fight the shadowy Order of St. George, a powerful society of dragonslayers.
St. George soldier Garret is determined to kill Ember and her kind. Until her bravery makes him question all he’s been taught about dragons.
Now a war is coming and Garret and Ember must choose their sides – fight to save their bond or fulfil their fate and destroy one another.
