My TBR List for September 2020

 


Recently, I have been going through some of the books which I have bought either not so long ago, or have been on my pile for a very long time. So, I have decided that today I will be going through some of books which have made their way onto my pile in the last couple of months.

THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY BY MATT HAIG


Really excited about this one. Heard that there was rave reviews and have only received this in the post two days ago! I've read books by Haig before and they always are deep and interesting.

HOW TO SAVE A LIFE BY LIZ FENTON AND LISA STEINKE


This story is simply one that I stumbled upon on Goodreads. I don't tend to see anything of interest when looking around Goodreads, but this one seemed different as it has been described as it very own Groundhog Day.

PLEASE DON'T HUG ME BY KAY KERR


This book stood out to me because of Autism Spectrum Disorder (represent!) and DOUGHNUTS! The idea that the story seems to be thought-provoking is just the cherry on the cake!

PEACE AND TURMOIL BY ELLIOT BROOKS


I've had this bad boy on my wish list for a while now and have only recently taken the plunge to buy it. I'm not quite sure what will be in store, but I am definitely intrigued to see how this will play out.

THE LOST CITY BY AMANDA HOCKING


There is no secret that I have been invested in this particular universe by this author for such a long time. Just interested to see how this last trilogy will play out.

Sunburn by Darren Dash

This is the cover of the recently published book "Sunburn" by Darren Dash (yes, it actually does feature a character getting burnt), which was published earlier than expected on the 1st May. This truly seems like a momentous event. This author has probably influenced my reading patterns the most, since I first picked up a book just for leisure. He is truly an inspirational guy. The cover itself is very sinister. The mix of reds and oranges as well as the sun connotes that the sun plays an antagonising role in the story. Maybe even a factor to all of the characters downfall. The simplicity makes it very intriguing as well as making it feel very uncomforting. Simple but well executed. This demonic masterpiece does not fail to disappoint even the most biggest of horror fans. Set in a perfect setting, the characters are strong, that even the smallest mistake they make can be very vexing. It focuses on three characters: Dominic; Curran and Martini. Who despite...

The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton

  Publisher:  Walker Books Ltd./ originally Candlewick Press   Date/Year that it was Published: October 2nd 2014/ orginally March 13th 2014   Pages: 320   Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Magical Realism   Best for Boys/Girls: Girls   Format: Paperback/ Hardback   This has to be one of the greatest books that i have read over 2014 - which has now been and gone sadly. It was a truly different and entricate way of writing that i have never seen before in a book. I think now, since i have read this i want to seek out more of this type of style that Ms Walton has. It has literally changed my life - along with making me think about the most important things in life.   The plot itself is very different to what i have read in the past, as it literally deals with what has happened in the past for certain characters and how it will affect their future. It identifies three women within the same family ...

The Ridealong by Michaelbrent Collings

Sorry for such a long wait. I have been quite busy. But I am now delighted to inform you that I am now finished with exams for another year at least! So you know what this means... I can now dedicate much more time once again to my blog. This is my first review in a long line of them for now!   I'm trying something a little bit different to what I would normally review for books. But,  this has proven to become a refreshing change, as this book has really made me want to look more into this genre - beware!  The antagonist is very creepy and sinister, something that I may experience in an nightmare, or even worst, from the corner of your eye or over your shoulder. Or even the pale figure that may jump at you, in the dark of the night.  I found in some parts of the story, it was very difficult to keep track of points which had significant changes. For instance, when there was all of a sudden the characters story changes unexpectedly. This has taken me a lon...
