When, I saw that All the Bright Places had been released on Netflix, I was so excited. I had no idea it was coming out, and I immediately remembered how much I loved the book by Jennifer Niven.
I’m not really going to talk about the movie today (except to say it was great and touched my heart and you should watch it) but I am going to recommend you read the YA book! You can buy it here!

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!

Sometimes my life feels like it constantly alternates between phases of intense reading and periods of complete reading lethargy. And this is coming from someone who loves books! During times when I can’t focus on reading, I find myself wishing I could motivate myself more or just magically get focussed. The desire to read is present, but I just can’t manifest that desire into actually opening a book! It drives me crazy.
Recently, I’ve realised that a lot of people I know feel like this sometimes. Most of my friends and family like reading or wish they read a little more, but they either can’t get motivated to read, or find themselves distracted whenever they try.

I don’t know about you, but when I don’t know what to read, I turn to the world around me for inspiration. A few weeks ago, I found myself googling ‘books about pandemics’, wanting for reason to read about a pandemic – but not the current one!
Reading is an escape from the world, so it might seem strange to want to read about pandemics at a time when the coronavirus has consumed us. But I think these books suspend your disbelief, and by offering “worst case scenario” storylines, might even make you more grateful for our reality.

Do you like historical fiction?
I go through reading phases, but historical fiction is one of my favourite genres. Today I’m going to review one of my favourite historical fiction novels: The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris (buy here!). Its’s a romance, based on a true story.
