R E V I E W - Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Working as a lady’s companion, the heroine of Rebecca learns her place. Her future looks bleak until, on a trip to the South of France, she meets Max de Winter, a handsome widower whose sudden proposal of marriage takes her by surprise. She accepts, but whisked away from glamorous Monte Carlo to the ominous and brooding Manderley, the new Mrs de Winters finds Max a changed man. And the memory of his dead wife Rebecca is forever kept alive by the forbidding housekeeper, Mrs Danvers...
Another day, another attempt to articulate my thoughts about another book I’ve recently read. This time, it’s Daphne du Maurier’s thriller Rebecca. This book I was introduced to during my A levels, when our teacher recommended it as a potential book we could write our coursework on. Whilst the book did not appeal to me as a coursework text, I knew I wanted to read it. Fast forward four years and I eventually get down to doing just that.
New week, new glasses 👓 I'm finally getting a post-uni routine going so with any luck I'll finally update the blog this week with a review 🙌
R E V I E W
Living in the Blackwood family home with her only sister Constance and her Uncle Julian for company, Merricat just wants to preserve their delicate way of life. But ever since Constance was acquitted of murdering the rest of the family, the world isn’t leaving the Blackwoods alone. And when Cousin Charles arrives, armed with overtures of friendship and a desperate need to get into the safe, Merricat must do everything in her power to protect the remaining family.
Hello friends, it has been a while. Safe to say I have been consumed by the demands of my degree this year. Recreational reading ended up taking a temporary back seat. HOWEVER, I have at last handed in my final assignments so my undergraduate degree is complete! My course friend and myself celebrated both with a cheeky cocktail, and a little visit to the book shop. Because how else do you commemorate three years of intense academic reading than by buying a book to read? We Have Always Lived in the Castle was the book I picked off the shelf.

When it's your birthday but you still have to study, make sure it's an interesting read 📖
When you finally change your icon for the first time since starting the blog,
fyi, Locke & Key = best graphic novel series ever
and the slipper socks have ultimate levels of cosiness (and are perf for sliding around the floor in)
Have a good weekend!
That moment when you realise you haven’t posted anything for a while...
mah bad
Safe to say third year has been intense, I have had no time for recreational reading, with so much primary and secondary material to go through. By the end of the day I do end up wanting to take a small breather from books. But I’m now at the halfway point of the term and I actually think I might finally be establishing a study routine I can handle!
So who knows, now that I have finally got myself organised, I may get this shambles of a blog updated at last!!!
Anyhoo, I am about to start Pretty Deadly for my Graphic Novel module and the cover art is so gorgeous that when I first got my copy I did end up admiring it for an insanely long time. It’s just so mesmerizing and I looooove the colouring. Going by some reviews the story is quite experimental and has gained mixed reactions so I’m intrigued to see what I make of it.
Who knows, exciting reading times could be ahead.
This was definitely a book worth reading, even if I did have to put it on pause for a couple months because of exams. Took a little while to get back into the rhythm of the story but it still managed to become my favourite read of the year so far!
R E V I E W
‘R’ is a zombie. He has no name, no memories and no pulse, but he has dreams. He is a little different from his fellow Dead. Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows – warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. For reasons he can’t understand, R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins.
This has never happened before. It breaks the rules and defies logic, but R is no longer content with life in the grave. He wants to breathe again, he wants to live, and Julie wants to help him. But their grim, rotting world won’t be changed without a fight...

I think now that if all eight billion of us had just shut off the lights and gone to bed that night and left it alone we'd have all slept and the chalice would have passed us by. But let's be real. Whoever leaves anything alone? Life's a scab, and it's our nature to pick at it until it bleeds.
Nod, Adrian Barnes
First book I’ve read for fun since finishing exams!
R E V I E W
One minute insanely famous pop singer Molly Metropolis is on her way to a major performance in Chicago, and the next, she’s gone.
A journalist who’s been covering Molly joins the singer’s personal assistant in an increasingly desperate search to find her, guided by a journal left behind in her hotel room, and possible clues hidden in her songs – all of which seem to point to an abandoned line in the Chicago subway system.

Just finished Warm Bodies. And I LOVED it!
Such a good book to start 2016 with.
I am so excited to read this book, the story sounds sooo so good and I keep staring at it on my bookshelf and I keep seeing it on tumblr and I am so excited to read this book!
I love the cover art too, bonus points for attractive cover art.

This B&N leatherbound edition of Anna Karenina is one of the most beautiful books I own, if not the prettiest one. This collection has so many gorgeous books, though, it’s hard to decide which one is the prettiest.
