Book clubs in Ashton-under-Lyne

I'm terrible at writing reviews but it's a great book, dark and full of mystery with really intriguing characters.

This is actually 7 books, I love Lucinda Riley’s style of writing which tells a historical based story, alongside a current time line. Love the journeys she takes you on with interesting characters that meet real life characters from history.

Did not see the ending coming!

One of my favourite books!

I love how dark and ominous this book is! It was a tad slow to start off with but as soon as it kicks in you don’t want to put the book down. Love the Irish folklore elements too

While this book definitely isn’t for the faint hearted and is at time super gross, I absolutely loved it! The children and parents all have their own developed personalities which makes it really easy to differentiate between them all (and it makes it easy for you to decide which characters you like and which you don’t). It’s definitely a shocking book at times but I appreciate it!

The characters are all likeable which makes you that little bit more invested in them and the plot. It’s got moments or eeriness and dread and also has plenty of bold horror elements too!

I loved The Shining but for me Doctor Sleep beats it by far! While it’s not exactly scary, there are some nasty scenes that really show you how evil some of the characters are. I also really love that we get to see how Danny grew up and how he moved on after the Overlook hotel.

Loved the overall story line and the plot twist. The two story lines throughout from the different characters where delivered really well.

This is what got me into reading properly as a teen and where my love of dysopian books started.

My favourite book of the year so far

This is my Roman Empire 😂

It uses factual and historical events to counteract the negative perception we have of humanity.
