My obsession with crime started when I was a teenager and first started watching CSI with my Mum. From those first CSI episodes, I then started watching all the spin-off series, moved to NCIS, watched all those spin-off series, discovered Bones and my television obsession was complete. My Mum has always loved crime fiction, but…

101. The Diamond of Drury Lane by Julia Golding
Synopsis (as taken from Amazon) is as follows: ‘I am Cat Royal – Orphan, Adventurer, Actress… ‘Reader, you are set to embark on an adventure about one hidden treasure, two bare-knuckle boxers, three enemies and four hundred and thirty-eight rioters. I was brought up in Drury Lane, so I have become accustomed to a life…
93. The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza
The cover drew me to this book…well the cover and the fact that Amazon kept recommending it to me. I have fallen into a book slump this month, where I actually haven’t wanted to read. And so, on Thursday 15th August, this has become my first read of the month and I totally picked a…
Wish List – Stand Alone Books
There are only twelve books in this list which makes it my shortest one. These are books that aren’t part of a series and don’t have a designated spot in any of my other lists. They’re all books that I’ve added this year and when going through the titles, I only got rid of 3…
J.K. Rowling
I couldn’t talk about favourite authors without mentioning J.K. Rowling. It was her books that introduced me to the world of reading and made me want to better my ability to read. Imagine a young six year old girl, who was angry, frustrated and sad, because she couldn’t read to the same level of her…
Favourite Authors
I seem to always be looking for new and interesting segments to add to this blog. Over the course of the last seven months, this blog has gone from being a hobby of mine to being a slight obsession. It has helped me to branch out, to become more confident, to better manage my OCD…
92. Girl, Missing by Sophie McKenzie
I picked this up in Waterstones as an impulse buy back in June. I thought the blurb sounded very interested and I thought that it must be good to warrant a 10th anniversary printing. Synopsis (as taken from Amazon) is as follows: What if everything you thought you knew about your life was a lie?…
91. The Quiet at the End of the World by Lauren James
I have wanted to read this since I was first introduced to Lauren James’s work with ‘The Loneliest Girl in the Universe.’ This was a wonderful book to read. Synopsis (as taken from Amazon) is as follows: How far would you go to save those you love? Lowrie and Shen are the youngest people on…
90. The Midnight Gang by David Walliam’s
I have wanted to read this ever since the BBC Christmas adaption of it last year. Despite buying this back in January, I only just got around to reading it! Synopsis (as taken from Amazon) is as follows: Welcome to the Midnight Gang! Midnight is the time when all children are fast asleep, except of…
Wish List – Book Series
This list is rather long. I like to make sure I’m going to like all the books in a series before I even think of reading the first one. You’ll see quite a few series mentioned here starting with the second book – meaning, I’ve already read the first and am still interested in reading…
