It’s been a while since I’ve written a book review for my blog! I thought I would start 2021 with a bang: reviewing the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness! The movie is coming out, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
This is my glowing and SPOILER FREE review of Collins’ latest novel: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (available to buy here!).
I was so surprised to hear about this release (and don’t even get me started on Stephanie Myer’s new book) – it feels a bit like I’ve randomly been sent back in time to 2010. I didn’t have high expectations honestly, but I was really pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the story, I enjoyed the writing, and I enjoyed the fact it made me think! It’s not often a YA book can do all those things so well.

The Circle by Dave Eggers
This is going to be a pretty short post, but I read this amazing book the other day, and really wanted to share it with you! It’s The Circle by Dave Eggers, and once I’d started it, I couldn’t focus on anything else until I’d finished. You can buy this book here!
This book isn’t particularly new, so I’m sure a lot of you will have already read it! If you have, please leave a comment, because I’d love to hear what you thought! For those of you who haven’t heard of it, I encourage you to read this post, and then read the book!
