The 6 books I read throughout April and what I thought of them

The 6 books I read throughout April and what I thought of them

Features, Monthly Round Ups
Every month, I read books. As a book blogger, that would only seem natural. Some months I read a lot of books. Other months I read very few books. In April 2024, I read an average number of books (for me anyway). This number was 6. But, the more important comment to make is whether any of them were that good!

None Of This Is True by Lisa Jewell book review

None Of This Is True by Lisa Jewell book review

Book reviews, Mystery, Thriller
I've read some Lisa Jewell before, and I've been impressed by her books before. However, none of her books have quite engrossed me like None Of This Is True did. I'm not sure whether it's because I'm on a big thriller hype at the moment or whether it genuinely was that gripping but I came away from None Of This Is True wanting to physically applaud, it was that enjoyable!

Lie With Me by Sabine Durrant book review

Lie With Me by Sabine Durrant book review

Book reviews, Mystery, Thriller
I decided recently to do a challenge over on my YouTube where I wanted to read books that authors recommended to me.

The Drift by C.J. Tudor book review

The Drift by C.J. Tudor book review

Book reviews
When I posted a recent haul of books, I asked where I should start with them and the one that received the most amount of hype was The Drift by C.J. Tudor. Since finishing it, I've noticed a lot of people are big fans of C.J. Tudor, so I'll have to pick up some of her others. The Drift though was a really interesting book and when you consider I picked it up from a charity shop for only £1.99, it seems a bargain! Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

Weyward by Emilia Hart book review

Weyward by Emilia Hart book review

Book reviews, Historical Fiction
Weyward by Emilia Hart is a really unique read.

High Rise by Vanessa Lee book review

High Rise by Vanessa Lee book review

Book reviews, Contemporary Fiction
Every now and then a book tries to get a message across - whether it's highlighting underrepresented minorities or climate change. And sometimes this is done well and subtly and then other times it's not done so well and feels pushed in your face. Unfortunately, High Rise is a book that does this. It wants to talk about climate change, but also talk about human stories and none are done particularly well. Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

Sea State by J.M. Simpson book review

Sea State by J.M. Simpson book review

Book reviews, Mystery, Thriller
Sea State by J.M. Simpson is a book that picked for me as part of me followers picks of the year. if you don't know, at the start of the year, I asked all of my followers to pick a book and then I chose the 12 most-liked or recommended and put one as each month of the year.
