The title for week 20 of Readarama is Suzanne Rindell’s The Other Typist. This book follows Rose Baker – an orphaned young woman working as a typist in... More ...
Happy Friday readers! The bank holiday weekend is in full swing with some sunny weather and an amazing read to fill up this coming Monday! This week I’ve been reading Nikita Lalawani’s The Village. I finished it yesterday so I can pop out and about later today and get in supplies for a day of lying about the garden and reading the rest of the weekend! As I mentioned in Monday’s post, I attempted reading only just before bed this week – however, by Wednesday, I was reading wherever I could to continue the fascinating plot of The ...

I can’t go into spoilers of what happened in Toby’s Room to make me feel this way, but the surprise turn of events at the end of the book left me wanting more. If you follow my activity on Facebook you’ll have seen ...

Although it falls under one of my not-so favourite genres – historical... More ...
Good morning readers! I’ve got a confession to make, I can’t decide if I’m excited about reading this week’s title or dreading it. It’s been a long time since I first read Animal Farm (around 12 years ago when I was sitting my GCSEs) and, as much as I loved reading it in class, it’s... More ...
Happy Monday Readararmy! Have you ever read a book that has had you so emotionally invested that you find yourself crying one minute and laughing the next? Although it may seem a cliché, but John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars is one of the rare books that I’ve read that does just that. I... More ...
