Greek Gods Book Tag!

Hi everyone!

I know it has been a WHILE but I’m back for at least this blog post, maybe more? Honestly in this day and age who knows but for now hello everyone!! I saw this book tag a while ago, and I can’t remember where – sorry!! But I saw it and knew I had to do it, so FINALLY I’m here to do it!

I love Greek Mythology and I love books so what a perfect way to bring the two together!

Let’s go!The Rules

• Pingback to Zuky here so she can read all your posts!
• You can use her graphics if you like, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.
• Tag as many people as you want, but please share the love.

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller because it is SO GOOD. I got it for my birthday last month and have been obsessed with it ever since and need everyone to read it!

Where I Have Been? – 2020 Edition

Hi everyone!

I am aware that around the same time last year, I wrote a very similar post to explain my many month long absence, and I’m going to use the same template for that as I am for this one. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? So much has happened this year, and to say that I’ve not been motivated to blog at all has been the biggest possible understatement. 2020 truly is the year from hell, so I thought I’d do my best to combat that by TRYING to return to my blog. However it’s been so long I feel like I need to update you on a couple things first rather than just jumping straight back in.

This is probably once again going to be a long one because there’s quite a lot of stuff to update you on – but I’ll split it into sections to make it easier!

Okay here goes…

Life

2020 is hell. I’m sure the majority, if not all of the world can agree in some terms. To be honest, the end of 2019 also wasn’t the greatest and it’s just been a wild year overall. I came back to blogging last year, I did Blogtober, and I loved it. I truly felt like I was back where I belonged. As you know however, life just purely isn’t that simple, so naturally it got in the way.

BLOG TOUR: The Sky Weaver by Kristen Ciccarelli // Review

Title: The Sky Weaver by Kristen Ciccarelli

Rating: ★★★★

Release: 12th November 2019

Synopsis: At the end of one world, there always lies another. Safire, a soldier, knows her role in this world is to serve the King of Firgaard—helping to maintain the peace in her oft-troubled nation. Eris, a deadly pirate, has no such conviction. Known as the Death Dancer for her ability to evade even the most determined of pursuers, she possesses a superhuman power to move between worlds. When one can roam from dimension to dimension, can one ever be home? Can love and loyalty truly exist? Now Safire and Eris—sworn enemies—find themselves on a common mission: to find Asha, the last Namsara. From the port city of Darmoor to the fabled faraway Star Isles, their search and their stories become woven ever more tightly together as they discover the uncertain fate they’re hurtling towards may just be a shared one. In this world—and the next.

The final book in the thrilling Iskari trilogy is finally here, and what an ending it is!

BLOGTOBER DAY 31: ANOTHER Halloween Book Tag!

Hi everyone!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I’m back to celebrate the last day of Blogtober and Halloween with a final spooky book tag! I found this one at The Sassy Book Geek and thought it would be the perfect way to end the month!

Favorite Scary (Must Read) For Halloween?

The Creeper Man by Dawn Kurtagich is one of the most inventive and unique horror books I’ve ever read so definitely this is a must read!

BLOGTOBER DAY 30: Dirty Little Secrets by Jo Spain // Review

Title: Dirty Little Secrets by Jo Spain

Rating: ★★★★★

Release: 7th February 2019

Synopsis: In the exclusive gated community of Withered Vale, people’s lives appear as perfect as their beautifully manicured lawns. Money, success, privilege – the residents have it all. Life is good. There’s just one problem. Olive Collins’ dead body has been rotting inside number four for the last three months. Her neighbours say they’re shocked at the discovery but nobody thought to check on her when she vanished from sight. The police start to ask questions and the seemingly flawless facade begins to crack. Because, when it comes to Olive’s neighbours, it seems each of them has something to hide, something to lose and everything to gain from her death.

Do you ever really know the people in your neighborhood? This book just proves that no mater how well you think you know someone, you never know what will be lurking around the corner.

BLOGTOBER DAY 29: Mindhunter by John Douglas // Review

Title: Mindhunter by John Douglas

Rating: ★★★★★

Release: 2nd November 2017

Synopsis: John Douglas is a former FBI Special Agent and expert in criminal profiling and behavioural science. He made a career of looking evil in the eye – and understanding it. No wonder that he was the inspiration for Special Agent Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, as well as the film’s consultant on the reality of serial killers. Douglas invented and established the practice of criminal profiling, and submerged himself in the world of serial killers in a quest to understand why they killed, and to help prevent more innocent lives from being ended by future killers. As his serial crime unit developed from a derided two-bit operation in a dingy officer to one of the FBI’s elite task forces, Douglas personally confronted the most terrible crimes of the age, including those of Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy and the Atlanta child murderer.

Now a bestselling Netflix Original series, this is where it all began. The hunt for serial killers, and the basis for what we know about the most evil minds of the world.

Let’s go!

What goes bump in the night?
Name a book that has legitimately scared you while reading it

The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson really creeped me out when reading it at night!

BLOGTOBER DAY 27: The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson // Review

Title: The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson

Rating: ★★★★★

Release: 13th September 1977

Synopsis: In December 1975, the Lutz family moved into their new home on suburban Long Island. George and Kathleen Lutz knew that, one year earlier, Ronald DeFeo had murdered his parents, brothers, and sisters in the house, but the property–complete with boathouse and swimming pool–and the price had been too good to pass up. Twenty-eight days later, the entire Lutz family fled in terror.

One of the most notorious examples of a supernatural presence, and one that has split the nation. The legend is explained in full in this book, and you don’t want to miss it.

BLOGTOBER DAY 26: The Halloween Book Tag!

Hi everyone!

Let’s go!

Favorite Horror Book?

Either Pet Sematary or Dracula for definite! I loved both of these books, Dracula is probably my favourite out of both but I loved them so much!

BLOGTOBER DAY 25: Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand // Review

Title: Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand

Rating: ★★★★

Release: 2nd October 2018

Synopsis: Who are the Sawkill Girls? Marion: The newbie. Awkward and plain, steady and dependable. Weighed down by tragedy and hungry for love she’s sure she’ll never find. Zoey: The pariah. Luckless and lonely, hurting but hiding it. Aching with grief and dreaming of vanished girls. Maybe she’s broken—or maybe everyone else is. Val: The queen bee. Gorgeous and privileged, ruthless and regal. Words like silk and eyes like knives; a heart made of secrets and a mouth full of lies. Their stories come together on the island of Sawkill Rock, where gleaming horses graze in rolling pastures and cold waves crash against black cliffs. Where kids whisper the legend of an insidious monster at parties and around campfires. Where girls have been disappearing for decades, stolen away by a ravenous evil no one has dared to fight…until now.

A fantastical and mystical book about the power of girls, friendships and all things dangerous.
