Clash of Kings – George R. R. Martin
"...she was killing him, shouting 'Winterfell! Winterfell!' while Hot Pie screamed 'Hot Pie' beside her..." this was honestly my favourite quote from the book lol 4/5 Stars I originally wasn't going to write a review for Clash of Kings but then I wrote an instagram post (feel free to follow me @bibliobethan 😉 ) which was … Continue reading Clash of Kings – George R. R. Martin
Carry On – Rainbow Rowell
3.5 stars "Because we match." Rainbow Rowell, you've done it again. You've taken my heart and squished it with one of your insanely loveable stories. I've wanted to read Carry On for so long. Ever since I put down Fangirl I knew I needed more of Rowell's stories in my life and Carry On seemed like the perfect … Continue reading Carry On – Rainbow Rowell
The Bell Jar – Sylvia Plath
WARNING: SPOILERS!!! 5/5 Stars "Wherever I sat - on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris - I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar." I feel like I owe Plath an apology. I've had this book collecting dust on my shelf for so long because of … Continue reading The Bell Jar – Sylvia Plath
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe – Benjamin Alire Sáenz
5/5 stars "Remember the Rain" At 6 PM I decided to pick up this book just to see what the first chapter was like. Without realising, next thing I know I'd finished the whole book. It was 10 PM and I sat on my bed baffled at how I had managed to read the … Continue reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe – Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Every Heart a Doorway – Seanan McGuire
4 stars "Children have always disappeared under the right conditions-slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of the wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells and emerging somewhere...else. But magical lands have little need for used-up magical children" Every Heart a Doorway tells the story of those children … Continue reading Every Heart a Doorway – Seanan McGuire
Thirteen Reasons Why – Jay Asher
3 stars SPOILERS (kind of) I recently bought this book on a whim, simply because it was cheap, thinking it was one of those books that I'd buy but probably never get around to reading. You know like 'oh it's only £2, how could I not buy this?!' and then it stays at the bottom … Continue reading Thirteen Reasons Why – Jay Asher
A Christmas Carol – Charles Dickens
*5/5 stars So I've been seriously lacking with writing these blogs thanks to university, and there's 5 books that I've read and not even reviewed yet! So I thought I'd treat y'all with a little review of a lovely little christmassy book. If you haven't been living under a rock all of your life … Continue reading A Christmas Carol – Charles Dickens
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl – Jesse Andrews
4.5/5 Stars This book was actually bought for me, I had no intention of ever buying it or reading it. My boyfriend watched the film and told me that I needed to see it. Knowing that I'm a massive bookworm he of corse bought me the book so that I'd then watch the film after. … Continue reading Me and Earl and the Dying Girl – Jesse Andrews
On the Other Side – Carrie Hope Fletcher
3/5 Stars **SPOILERS** I've been putting off writing this review for a while now because I really really wanted to like this book and feel guilty that I'm not giving it as good of a review as I would've liked to. It's not that I didn't like it, it wasn't terrible, it just wasn't … Continue reading On the Other Side – Carrie Hope Fletcher
