Book Review: The Way Past Winter by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
There’s nothing better than an exceptionally cosy and atmospheric novel, and The Way Past Winter is exactly that.

Book Review: A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi

This was the case with A Very Large Expanse of Sea, Tahereh Mafi’s semi-autobiographical novel of life as an American Muslim teen one year after 9/11. Having read and… Continue reading

Despite the fact that it hasn’t been released yet, you may have already heard buzz about The Silent Patient. Set to be one of the biggest thriller debuts of 2019, this book has so much hype surrounding it already.
