Sleep No More | Seanan McGuire | a review
This series is one of my all time favourites and after the cliffhanger ending of Be The Serpent, I could not wait to dive into Sleep No More*. As with all Toby Daye books, Sleep No More is very easy and compelling to read, I devoured it over two sessions. Unlike the previous instalments, we follow a very different, pared down version of the kickass Toby we know and love. Titania’s revenge…

The Serpent and The Wings of Night | Carissa Broadbent | a review
The Serpent and The Wings of Night | Carissa Broadbent | a review Spoiler alert: I LOVED it. #bookreview #fantasyromance
I absolutely, utterly, loved this book. I first read it in February 2023 and immediately pre-ordered the sequel which was released on 14th April 2023. I reread The Serpent and the Wings of Night this week before diving straight into book two. Yes, I reread it less than two months after originally devouring it. And I loved it just as much. So, what’s it about I hear you cry. As a human raised in…

Witchy Reads | One For My Enemy & HMRC | two mini reviews
I have read two five star reads this year and both books have been witchy. You wait so long for a good witch novel and then you find two in a row. It’s been great! ‘I would burn down the world for this love’ First I want to talk about One For My Enemy by Olivie Blake. Witches, magic, feuds, forbidden love, peril & badass women. What’s not to love? I wasn’t expecting to fall quite so hard for this…

There are 20 days left of December and I still need to read 11 books in 2022 to hit my goodreads reading challenge goal of 100 books. Can I do it? I hope so!

r e v i e w ✨ devoured this one. I’m always surprised with how much I can enjoy books outside ‘my genre’ but I’m glad I took a chance with this book. I found it super easy and engaging to read. It is genuinely laugh out loud funny and, at times, immeasurably sad. While I’m a bit younger than the main characters in this story I found a lot to relate to and think it captures a lot about today’s society and women’s relationships. I particularly enjoyed how *real* Alderton’s characters felt. The protagonist’s mum, for example, is brought to life so vividly that I could picture her perfectly. Not so much what she looked like but her mannerisms, the way she would move when speaking and her reactions. It was really noticeable for all the characters and it really helped to immerse me in the story. A great read that covers love, loss, friendship & resilience 💫 _____ #bookstagram #dollyalderton #ghosts #flowers #bookcover #booksandflowers #bibliophile #reader #bookish #bookaddict #readersofinstagram #readeveryday #booklover #bookworm #bookcommunity #bookreview #bookphotography #fiction #contemporaryfiction #instaread #igreads #karinareadsreviews #karinareads https://www.instagram.com/p/CGaM5wlgUpv/?igshid=bte86ezddr92
R e v i e w ✨ this is a beautifully published book, the cover is lovely & the paperback sized hardback is easy and comfortable to hold. Unfortunately the inside didn’t quite work for me. A hugely unpopular opinion it seems, but this was only so-so for me. Don’t get me wrong, the writing is superb & it is a very clever, complex and intricate story. But it fell a little flat. The flashbacks grew tiresome and I found myself skim-reading at several points in the middle as I just wanted it to get to the point. I didn’t really like Henry & his storyline, I would have preferred it if it had followed Addie & Luc more closely and made more of that connection. what can i say, i’m an enemies to lovers lover and was super excited to find a book about a girl and the devil. While this didn’t work for me, i know lots of others have enjoyed it and many more will find and love it. That’s the beauty of books, each person looks for and finds something different. _____ #bookstagram #bookish #theinvisiblelifeofaddielarue #addielarue #bookreview #fantasy #fiction #readeveryday #reader #readersofinstagram #booksofinstagram #igreads #instabook #hardback #magic #devil #bibliophile #bookcommunity #bookcover #bookworm #booklover #karinareadsreviews #karinareads https://www.instagram.com/p/CGU3NLago08/?igshid=pc2mjbepuz73
“Never pray to the gods that answer after dark.”
-The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by
I’m currently in the middle of reading this amazing book and I am completely hooked. The moment I read the scene where Addie first made her deal with the darkness (Luc) I just knew I had to draw this.
“Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives–or to find strength in a very long one.”
