Blurb

Jemma has lived a thousand lives through books. The only life she isn’t living is her own.
That is, until the day she finds a note from a stranger in her favourite library book. When she replies, the pair begin a longhand conversation about their love of novels that sees Jemma finally coming out of her shell. Is she ready to fall in love for the first time – with someone she’s never met?

Clara has always run away from her problems, but this might finally be one she can’t escape.
Everyone wants to know what happened to Clara in America – but Clara isn’t talking. Instead she’s focusing all her energy obsessing over a hot new actor, starring in the TV adaptation of her twin Jemma’s favourite book. Soon, Clara is reading every interview, trawling his social media, and following him to showbiz parties in the hopes he’ll notice she’s The One.

As the sisters fall hard for two men they’ve never met, it’s time to ask the question: Can either relationship survive the real world?

Review

Book Boyfriend is a funny, heartwarming and enjoyable read, filled with likeable and realistic characters.

The story begins with a currently anonymous Narrator as we’re introduced to Jemma, clasping a letter on a flight, soon to know the identity of her long-awaited ‘book boyfriend’. I was immediately hooked by not only the humour that Lucy Vine effortlessly feeds into her books, but also the trifecta of romance, books (& libraries!) and letter writing, all being key to the storyline. We are thrown back into the past to fill in all the elements to the back story, and what’s led her to this point. This is told in three part’s, alternating perspectives between Clara and Jemma.

Jemma and Clara are fraternal twins who don’t really get along. Living separate lives for five years they’ve been thrust back together and their relationship is tumultuous and comical. Sisterly bickering, opposites with different views and both with strong opinions. Their relationship is both realistic and relatable and I really enjoyed ‘watching’ their growth and feelings towards one another change through the events of the novel.

The additional characters in the twins’ world are brilliant and add so much to the story, especially their housemates Harry and Salma. I really enjoyed getting to know them and being part of their dynamic, which is interesting, and shifts more than once. They create a really fun group and bring out the best in one another.

I liked the way that each part of the novel surrounds a different significant and pivotal point in the story. The way Lucy Vine builds through these and then takes a turn is fascinating. The tone is consistently light-hearted, but realistically so. The characters journeys are not straightforward, or without challenge, but they are believable which is key. They could easily exist around us and I feel like it takes real skill to create such a plausible world within a novel – credit to Lucy and her brilliant writing!

The reveal of Jemma’s note-writing Book Boyfriend was one of my favourite parts of the novel and I really didn’t predict it which was nice. The red herrings did genuinely confuse me and I enjoyed the journey to get there. It was definitely the icing on the cake!

Books are magic! Bookshops are spectacular! Don’t believe us? Join Henry as he helps Griselda Snook on the opening day of her spooky bookshop! From hunting down runaway jack-o’-lanterns to banishing dragons, Henry loves his day spent in Griselda’s bookshop, and he especially likes helping booklovers to find their next read. But can Henry find the perfect book for him?

Review

Griselda Snook’s Spectacular Books is a fun, captivating and exciting seasonal read for ages 3-6.

The story is focused on Henry, who finds a key to a bookshop and ends up helping out on their opening day. Henry isn’t really a reader and I think the message it conveys that there is a book out there for everyone is an important one for younger readers. The book is nicely worded and easy to follow. The words flow together and create an engaging and interesting read. The story is amusing with elements of magic and I love how original it is.

The illustrations are fun and suit the autumnal Halloween season perfectly. The pop’s of orange are eye-catching and are a contrast to the primary colour palette of greys and blacks. The attention to detail is stunning and the whole book feels exciting.

My 3 and 5 year old both love this book and we’ve read it so many times. They’re both Halloween lovers and there is so much to see on each page that they are always discovering something new.

Book Review | The Unfinished Business of Eadie Browne by Freya North

Becca Kate BlogsLeave a comment

Thank you to Mountain Leopard Press and Squadpod for sending me a copy of The Unfinished Business of Eadie Browne in exchange for an honest review.

Blurb

Eadie Browne is a quirky kid living in a small town where nothing much happens. Bullied at school, she muddles her way through the teenage years with best friends Celeste and Josh until University takes them their separate ways.

Arriving in Manchester as a student in the late 1980s, Eadie experiences a novel freedom and it’s intoxicating. As the city embraces the dizzying euphoria of Rave counterculture, Eadie is swept along, ignoring danger and reality. Until, one night, her past comes hurtling at her with consequences she could never have imagined.

Now, as the new millennium approaches, Eadie is thirty with a marriage in tatters, travelling back to the town of her birth for a funeral she can’t quite comprehend. As she journeys from the North to the South, from the present to the past, Eadie contemplates all that was then and all that is now – and the loose ends that must be tied before her future can unfold.

Review

The Unfinished Business of Eadie Browne is an emotional, nostalgic and ultimately unforgettable read.

The story is told in three parts. The prologue takes place in 1976, then we move to June 1999, which is the present. We then return to 1976 and the story flits between past and present, filling in the gaps of Eadie’s life from childhood until present day, adulthood, ending as the year 2000 is imminent. It feels like a full 360 and the thoroughness of the journey is really enthralling.

The novel is told through Eadie’s perspective, and I enjoyed hearing from her both as a child, all the way through to a 30 year old adult. Seeing her grow, hearing her voice change and ‘watching’ her emotions and attitudes to things alter was fascinating. It really felt like I was part of her narrative and that I grew alongside her. The way she learns and develops as a person, figuring herself out and eventually realising what she wants, was rigorous. The ultimate realisation, that her needs are important. She’s a wonderful character and one that is so well brought to life.

There are lots of really great characters in the book, that are primarily introduced through the past. You get to know them as Eadie does, watching them enter into her life and how they progress. Celeste, Josh, Patrick, Michael and her parents from her childhood, Lawrence, Iris and Kip from her teenage years. There are more characters alongside these but those are the most memorable for me, the ones who had the most influence on Eadie and her life.

The importance of Eadie’s two homes in the novel is really special; 41 Yew Lane and Hathersage Road. The differing feelings and attachments that are created from them and the memories are both interesting and at times relatable. They are so well described that I felt as if I was really there, and the depictions were so accurate and captivating.

Freya North truly encapsulates the emotions and feelings of growing up. The portrayal of school and that feeling of being wrapped up in your best friends, your lives shaping and things changing as you grow into teens. Barely noticing until it’s already in progress, when it’s already happening and it’s too late to slow down and appreciate. Then later, wrapped up in university and in new friends and experiences. Her writing makes it all feel so real and I felt as if I was being taken back in time at points, flooded with my own memories.

The weaving in of key elements of history and current affairs through the various time periods made it seem more lifelike, the nods and knowledge of the outside world apparent throughout. This added an extra layer of realism to a book that already felt like I was reading an autobiography. Freya North does such a brilliant job of creating a community and making you gain real feelings for the situations, characters and their lives as a whole.

A really meaningful and unforgettable read, The Unfinished Business of Eadie Browne is out now from Mountain Leopard Press. You can order a copy using the link below and also help to support independent bookstores.

Monthly Wrap Up | August 2024

Becca Kate BlogsLeave a comment

August gave us some more sunshine and I finally felt like we had a bit of a summer. I do slightly feel robbed this year though as it definitely didn’t feel as warm for as long as normal! Maybe September will surprise us with a random mid-end point heatwave, as has happened before, I’m crossing my fingers! With back to school, both my fiancé and my youngest’s birthdays and a couple of jobs and general admin to get done, it’s going to be another busy month ahead!

In terms of reading August was, as I predicted, a slow month! It took me much longer to get through a book with less time for reading with both my boys at home! I read two books and reviewed neither as I didn’t have the time or opportunity!

What I Read

The Hit List by Holly Seddon

The Cassandra Complex by Holly Smale

Book of the month

My BOTM for August was… The Cassandra Complex! Cassandra was a really great, really interesting character. The novel itself is unique and quirky, with a great premise, filled with original ideas. The time travel elements were fascinating and the extended characters added so much to the storyline. I’d recommend The Cassandra Complex if you haven’t read it before, and if you have I’d love to know your thoughts!

Going forward…

I have a couple of books to read and review in September so I’ll be stating those as soon as I can! I’ve heard good things so I’m looking forward to diving into them. Other than that, I’m hoping to pick up a bit of momentum again with us starting to enter the cosy months, but I’m trying not to put too much pressure on myself as life is busy at the moment!

As always, a huge thank you to the publishers and authors who provided me with a gifted copy of a book in exchange for an honest review. You’ll find their details tagged in each individual blog post, linked above.

Book Review | Circus of Mirrors by Julie Owen Moylan

Thank you to SquadPod and Michael Joseph for sending me a proof copy of Circus of Mirrors in exchange for an honest review.

Blurb

BERLIN, 1926: After the death of their parents, sisters Leni and Annette only have each other. 
Desperate, but dreaming of better days, Leni finds work at a notorious cabaret: the Babylon Circus.

From the dancer’s barely-there costumes, to the glimmering mirrors that cover the walls, the Babylon Circus is where reality and fantasy merge. For Leni, it’s an overwhelming new world, and she’s happiest hiding in the shadows.

Until she meets the cabaret’s resident pianist, Paul. And so begins a tentative love affair that will play out over the next forty years. 

But, in a city whose divisions will define a century, can a love born within the feverish walls of the Babylon Circus ever survive? 

And can the bond between Leni and Annette – tugged in opposite directions of their own – also endure?

In Berlin, two sisters dared to dream of a better life – but where in this dark and dazzling city will they find their true home?

Review

Circus of Mirrors is an engrossing, mesmerising read filled with realistic characters and oodles of charm.

The novel begins in 1961, Berlin, enticing you in with questions about what’s to come. Part one is Berlin August & November 1926, pre-War. Part two is June, August, November 1947 & Feb 1948, post-War. Part three is June & August 1961, leading up to the Berlin Crisis with a throwback to May 1945. The book spans three pivotal points of the life of the characters and history of Berlin. I learnt a lot throughout these points and felt truly engrossed in the timelines.

The book primarily follows Leni, we meet her young and in need as she enters the Babylon circus, meeting pianist Paul and their shy, coy young romance begins. From the outset she is shown to be resilient and selfless, and this continues through the novel.

Annette, Leni’s younger sister, is also heavily featured. Leni cares for her through a large portion of the novel. Her behaviour is often irresponsible, selfish and uncaring, completely at odds with her sister.

There are many other focal characters through the pages, featuring in different timelines and often crossing over. Dieter, Berolina, Paul and Thea are all excellent characters, giving so much to both the plot and the interactions with the focal character(s).

The sense and believability of being in Berlin is truly encompassing. Julie Owen Moylan captures all the settings and time so perfectly that you are taken in by so much, initially the lights and costume and throughout by the dank living conditions and poignant grief. This also morphs through as hope begins to return and light can be seen, waves of readjustment and a new form of normality. The whole story feels intensely realistic and I felt part of the journey.

Watching The Babylon Circus alter and change just as the characters do, and following its path through history, watching it as it thrives, is damaged, thrives and is damaged again was fascinating. It feels like a pivotal setting and a true rollercoaster, I really enjoyed its place in the novel.

There is a lot of sadness contained within the pages, but equally a lot of hope and glimmers of light in the dark. A really moving, immersive and emotional read that I’m still thinking about.

Book Review | The Stranger’s Companion by Mary Horlock

Thank you to Jade and Baskerville for sending me a proof copy of The Stranger’s Companion in exchange for an honest review.

Blurb

October 1933

With a population of five hundred souls, isolated Sark has a reputation for being ‘the island where nothing ever happens’. Until, one day, the neatly folded clothes of an unknown man and woman are discovered abandoned at a coastal beauty spot. As the search for the missing couple catches the attention of first the local and then national newspapers, Sark finds itself front-page news.

When young islander Phyllis Carey returns to Sark from England she throws herself into solving the mystery. As Phyll digs through swirls of gossip, ghost stories and dark rumours in search of the truth, she crosses paths with Everard Hyde, a surprise visitor from her past. As press coverage builds to fever pitch, long-suppressed secrets from Phyll’s and Everard’s shared, shadowy history begin to surface.

The Stranger’s Companion is a beguiling historical mystery inspired by a real-life crime, which remains unsolved to this day.

Review

The Stranger’s Companion is a captivating, mysterious and interesting read with an immersive setting.

The story is told with a Prologue and then in two parts. The chapters are headed with locations and dates which begin in October 1933 (the present) and August 1923 (the past). The two timelines alternate between the case and prior. I liked the way this relayed the story and how it broke up the narrative, leaving unanswered questions and an eagerness to know how things would progress.

The chapters begin with extracts from a tourist guide of Sark, an introductory snippet to various locations which I enjoyed. It felt immersive and added context as well as additional realism. The newspaper clippings, featured at the beginning of many chapters, were a nice touch and felt both original and authentic to the time.

The story is told through an unknown viewpoint, one who seems very genuine. It feels as though they are with you, which was interesting. Not only do they address the reader directly, there is also the inclusion of their personal feelings and opinions. I felt this gave a more wholesome approach to the storytelling.

In the past, learning of Phyll, Miranda and Everard’s childhood friendship is intriguing. Bored ten year old’s beginning to play practical jokes, I found learning of their repercussions as they begin to go over the top was a throwback to the rebellious and invincible feelings of youth. A stark contrast to adulthood, it allowed us to fill in their background and the missing elements of their lives.

Meeting Phyll again as an adult trying to establish her career, and Everard also making a return, was nice. I like to see how characters have grown and changed. Despite not having contact in between, their friendship quickly picks up where it left off.

The mysterious couple who have gone missing are entirely unknown. I’m torn as to whether this made me feel detached from them, and less invested in their whereabouts, or if it was nice to be less involved with additional characters for a change.

With the inspiration being a real-life unsolved crime, it felt extremely realistic. It was, at times, hard to believe imagination featured at all. I enjoyed the historical learnings of the island of Sark and its quirks and small-feel island community. The traditions, myths, ghost stories and folklore I found fascinating. The setting is so beautifully described and I felt immersed in the island through Mary Horlock’s writing.

Monthly Wrap Up | July 2024

July was, overall, pretty disappointing in terms of the weather! We had a lot of rain and cooler autumnal weather and then a heatwave, followed by a bit of warmth but honestly not enough! I really hope the summer kicks in for more than a few days at a time because I feel like we’re fully missing out! A fairly busy month with birthdays and day trips. The beginning of the summer holidays is also here so having my two to keep busy might be a challenge! August is another busy month, my eldest’s birthday, a holiday and quite a few other things to look forward to!

In terms of reading, July was another fairly good month! I flew through a few books and upped my momentum from last month! Quite a mix of genres this month but Thrillers were the winner. I read four books and reviewed three (with a review still to publish).

What I Read

Probably Nothing by Lauren Bravo

One of the Good Guys by Araminta Hall

The Stranger’s Companion by Mary Horlock

The Trouble With Mrs Montgomery Hurst by Katie Lumsden

Book of the month

My BOTM for July was… Probably Nothing! The original concept, nostalgic references and engrossing settings were all brilliant. The characters were amazing, open and so realistic. Lauren Bravo’s writing is once again excellent and she really makes you feel invested in the stories she writes, I just loved it! If you haven’t already, I highly recommend you check out both Probably Nothing and Preloved.

Going forward…

July saw me finally catch up with my backlog of books, still a few reviews to post but I’m mostly up to date now! What with the whole of August being summer holidays I don’t think I’ll get as much reading done but I’ll try and slowly tackle the tbr and not put any pressure on myself to decide what to read!

Book Review | The Gathering by C.J. Tudor

Thank you to Michael Joseph for sending a proof copy of The Gathering in exchange for an honest review.

Blurb

WELCOME TO DEADHART. ALASKA. POPULATION 673. LIVING. 

In a small Alaskan town, a boy is found with his throat ripped out and the blood drained from his body.

The brutality of the murder of chillingly echoes a killing from twenty-five years ago.

Out-of-state detective Barbara Atkins is brought in to assist the sheriff, Jensen Tucker, who investigated the original case.

However, the inhabitants of Deadhart believe they know who is responsible: one of the nearby vampyr colony who live in an old mining settlement deep in the mountains.

Barbara is under pressure to authorize a cull of the entire colony.

But the evidence doesn’t stack up, people are lying, and the more Barbara and Tucker delve into Deadhart’s history, the darker the secrets they uncover.

As the snow thickens and the nights grow longer, another teenager goes missing and body parts are found.

Time is running out for Barbara and Tucker to find the truth.

Are they hunting a cold-blooded murderer, or a bloodthirsty monster? 

And which is more dangerous?

Review

The Gathering is a dark, gripping and original story with a captivating concept.

The novel begins with some extracts, facts and quotes regarding Vampyr’s. It then moves swiftly into multiple perspectives, namely Beau, Barbara, Al and a mystery girl. A real mixture of characters, who each bring something different to the table. The perspectives all give insight into the vampyr situation alongside all their stances and viewpoints on the matter.

Despite these multiple perspectives, the main focus is around Barbara – a detective who is a specialist in Vampyr killings. You follow her as she gets to know the town, it’s inhabitants and the neighbouring Vampyr colony. Following her closely I found myself invested in her discoveries and what the decision would be regarding the colony’s potential culling. Getting to know the town’s people alongside her meant that as a reader I felt as if I was directly involved in the investigation.

Amongst the mentioned perspectives, you also get to know Jenson Tucker, ex-sheriff of Deadhart, who forms a great team with Barbara. They develop a natural and realistic relationship with their shared aim of deciding whether the cull should go ahead.

The town of Deadhart is an interesting one and with the addition of a vampyr colony living on its outskirts creates an interesting, original premise. The tight-knit community is wary of Barbara as an outsider but equally there is a divide between them due to those in favour of the Vampyr’s and those against. The parallels of this behaviour to racism really made me think about the bigger picture and the metaphorical meanings behind the topics in question.

C.J. Tudor’s writing is always brilliant, and this novel does not disappoint. The eerie, somewhat dangerous and dark tone of Deadhart is overpowering and captured in such a way I felt like I held my breath at times. As always there are a multitude of twists and turns and you never quite know where you’re going to end up!

A different direction for C.J. Tudor, but one that still felt familiar as it contains all her usual brilliance. The Gathering is out now from Michael Joseph. You can order a copy using the link below and also help to support independent bookstores.

Are you ready to travel the world?

Peep through the pages to visit eight iconic cities from around the globe. Little readers will love touring London, Moscow, Tokyo and beyond, with bite-sized facts and lots to spot along the way. Would you love to know which city hosts the tallest building in the world? And have you ever wondered where the Statue of Liberty came from? Find out all the answers to these questions and more in this fun and informative introduction to famous cities!

Review

Cities of the World is a bright, informative and engaging read for ages 3-6.

The book focuses on seven different cities around the world. There are two pages allocated to each city, providing a multitude of facts about each. The flag, weather, national tree/animal and population are consistent through each and then there is lots of additional city-specific information shared alongside this.

The text is clearly written and relates to both the cities themselves and the specific images within. There are many facts I didn’t know myself so there’s plenty of exciting new information for 3-6 year olds.

The images are beautifully illustrated, bright and have a friendly feel to them. I think they provide a really broad idea of the cities themselves. There is a lot of pivotal landmarks, buildings and other associated things that are especially famous or important to the country.

Both my children really enjoy reading this book, it’s the most requested in our house right now! They’re both very inquisitive and eager to learn of the cities and their characteristics, pointing at the images and asking what the buildings are called. A really easy to engage with, exciting read with fact-filled pages.

Book Review | Probably Nothing by Lauren Bravo

Becca Kate Blogs1 Comment

Thank to Sara-Jade and Simon & Schuster for sending me a copy of Probably Nothing in exchange for an honest review.

Blurb

Bryony doesn’t actually mind being single. So she doesn’t understand why she keeps seeing (ok, sleeping with) Ed, who is perfectly fine, but also only okay. After developing the ick on their fifth date, she resolves to end things – only to receive a call the next day telling her Ed has died. 

Worse yet, he seems to have represented her to his family and friends as his great love. Obviously, it would be cruel to correct them. Then she’s invited to the funeral. It would be equally rude to refuse… right? 

Before she knows it, Bryony has been drawn in by the charisma and chaos of Ed’s eccentric family and tangled in a web of her own lies. She’s been guilted into signing up to his sister’s pyramid scheme, she’s in far too deep with several of his nearest and dearest – and to make matters worse she’s experiencing a lot of physical symptoms that are becoming harder and harder to ignore…

Probably Nothing is the answer to just how far sheer awkwardness can take someone. Peppered with Lauren Bravo’s irresistible wit, it explores the relatable modern cults of wellness and people-pleasing, and digs into the eternal dilemma: life is short – so should you settle for perfectly fine?

Review

Probably Nothing is a unique, eye-opening and funny story full of fascinating characters.

The story is told in three parts. Each chapter has a title, ‘A pleasant human male’ being the first. Each title gives a sneak peak into the context of the chapter and I really enjoyed the humorous, realistic and honest snippets into what was to come next.

Bryony is the focal character of the story and I really enjoyed getting to know her, alongside all her flaws. She grows up a lot through the novel and the realisations she has about herself and the discoveries she makes are admirable. I found myself really rooting for her! Her people-pleasing traits are both relatable and eye-opening. I feel like I learnt about my own responses to other people’s happiness through Bryony’s life, emotions and experiences.

Ed’s family are all so intriguing and generally just brilliant. Their quirks and interests are fascinating and they feel so realistic because of this. The infamous house of Ann where everyone gathers is particularly focal and I could really envision it. Kelly, Ed’s sister-in-law, is a great character and an unexpected favourite. The way my thoughts and feelings towards her altered as the book progressed was remarkable.

Learning so much about Ed despite him having died was absorbing. The fact he lived at home on the weekends, and what a kind and family-orientated person he was, are just a couple. It felt as though he was present despite not being. Lauren Bravo is excellent at creating realistic characters with believable history and embedding them into their surroundings. I really just enjoyed it all, following a journey of discovery alongside Bryony.

There are many in-depth references of therapy, including details regarding the process, the sessions themselves and the mental health questionnaire. I found this honest and insightful approach brilliant for shining a light on health anxiety and the anxious brain in general.

I really loved the nostalgic references that were scattered through the novel, particularly the stretchy slimy alien toys that we all believed could have babies in the late 90’s/ early 00’s. They were a welcome reminder of childhood and the past that I had almost forgotten about.

A brilliant, emotional and absorbing read, one that I won’t be forgetting in hurry, Probably Nothing is out from Simon & Schuster. You can order a copy using the link below and also help to support independent bookstores.
