White City | Karolina Ramqvist
post image
Mehso-so

Continuing my #nordicnoir #adventures #thewhitecity was a tough read. Gritty and realistic, it was a grim depiction of a women with nothing to lose. Without spoilers, the main character was hard to like, but that was the point of the #journey . #karolinaramqvist excelled in bringing the landscape, the environment, both internal and external, to life, while twisting your guts with every turn of the page.

Pickpick

A fantastical mind twisting #YA story. Three part story about twins who have a talent creates havoc with their circus act, until one day their talents are... gone... What follows turns out to be part of a much bigger problem, and with an unusual cast of friends, foes and family, the twins gradually make their way through world's, prophecy, growing up and the problems with siblings! #thetrilogyoftwo #jumanmalouf

Tomorrow: A Novel | Damian Dibben
post image
Pickpick

This was a curious read. While I loved the idea that there was a way for our pets to live forever with us, this book explored the loss and sadness of separation in that same scenario. #tomorrowthebook #Tomorrow by #damiandibben was an emotive read that I felt exhausted at the end of!

This #awesomeread by #stephenfry at his finest, retelling, reintroducing, reimaging the #greekmyths via #mythos I love this witty, funny, irreverent collection of the tales of the Greek Gods. I've read the classics, and yet I think Fry has managed to capture the spirit of those times when the gods where real, exceptionally well. #booksniffer #itouchmyshelf #amreading #booksbooksbooks #booklover #bookworm #bibliophile #literature #storytelling

Carnivalesque | Neil Jordan
post image
Pickpick

A quirky twist to the expected carnivale story. A boy walks into the mirror maze and something that looks like him walks out and continues life with his parents. Find out what happens to the boy and the imposter in this dark little tale full of atmosphere, carnies, and the reflection of the outsider against a 'normal' life. Really enjoyed​ the twists in this gem!
