Review of 'All Fall Down' by Sally Nicholls

Review of 'All Fall Down' by Sally Nicholls

I always feel like I completely judge whether or not I'm going to like a book before I've read it. I bought this shortly after reading Ways to Live Forever, which is a great book, but then lost interest in the idea of this and it sat un-read on my shelves for years. However, this really surprised me. I'd say it definitely feels more like a teen book than YA, and the storyline was a little too on-the-nose for our pandemic times, but it was a read I enjoyed.

'The Thursday Murder Club' by Richard Osman review

'The Thursday Murder Club' by Richard Osman review


This book has had SO much hype around it on social media that I was super excited to read it. I love Richard Osman as a TV personality, and the idea of a book where OAPs solve crimes a la Midsomer murders together just sounded so cute and fun. I did end up being quite disappointed in the book in the end, but I'm not sure if I would have been had the reviews I'd read not all been absolutely glowing and intense.

'They Both Die at the End' by Adam Silvera review

'They Both Die at the End' by Adam Silvera review

Last month I was determined to read some LGBT books for Pride month. I feel like I've diversified my reading quite a lot over the past few years, but I'm still dragging behind on LGBT reads. I kickstarted the month with They Both Die at the End, which I've wanted to read for the longest time.
