This was a nice little Christmas read ❄️
I loved how most of the story was set on the train, so you really got involved in their lives.
I did get a little confused between the all the characters at the start but I picked them up after a while!

I was convinced I wasn’t going to like this book, which just shows that first impressions aren’t always everything!
It took a sec to get into, but once I did I was hooked!
Some of the plot twists I saw coming, but others defo pulled the rug from under me!

This was a lovely read to help kickstart the festive spirit!
I thought the treasure hunt was done really well, and I became just as invested as the characters in finding the lost book!
A perfect read for the coming season!

This book was ok.
I enjoyed Lucy’s growth & how she managed the hotel, bringing it from strength to strength.
However I found the romance bits too cringey for me, I had to skip them 🙈
It did help me to start getting into a festive mood though!

I was expecting a cozy, low stakes story but this book sunk its claws into me & wouldn’t let go!
I love Stephen & Grace, and I just fell into their story with such ease that I genuinely missed them when I finished it 😭

If Mist and Fury was the romantic dream, then this book was the cold hard reality!
I was so invested, I just couldn’t put it down!
My only issue was that I felt the end was wrapped up too easily 🎁
I’m looking forward to see where some characters go next 👀

This book started so well, but for me it kind of lost trajectory along the way 😕
I loved the beginning, but the more I read the more plot holes & inconsistencies showed up, not to mention character assassination 🗡️

I loved the premise of this book, journeying into Hell to rescue a soul.
There were a couple of things that bothered me and a lot of the academic talk went right over my head, but I enjoyed it.
Also the Orpheus references made my little Hadestown heart sing!

I’m almost afraid to say that this book wasn’t it for me 🙈
I can absolutely see why it won The Booker Prize; the writing is so beautiful and it was incredibly moving 🌎
However it didn’t grip me. I struggled picking it up and could only read a chapter at a time

I got this out of the library after watching Dept Q on Netflix 📺
It was quite a tense read, and although the show changed things up it was still a nail-biter of a book! 📖
It was a bit too graphic for me at times, so I think I’ll steer clear of thrillers for a bit!

The way it’s split by journal entries was a really clever way to show the difference in narrators!
Also gives you insight into the French Revolution!
