On to the next book review...

Hello friends.


This book review will focus on My Mess Is A Bit Of A Life by Georgia Pritchett. The title and synopsis of this book really spoke to something in me. I myself have long suffered with moderate anxiety and depression. When I was first diagnosed in my mid twenties it came as absolutely no surprise. I had long suspected I had an anxiety issue since my early teenage years, at first I pushed it to the back of my mind, assumed it was teenage hormones playing havoc with my system but as I got older and it got worse I knew I had to talk to someone about it. Not to go too much into the boring details, but I couldn't share this with my parents or friends so I went to a doctor...the less said about that visit the better, if I'm honest. 

Long story short, I have an anxiety issue. I have had it for over half my life at this point. I have read about the subject, always looking for someone else who feels like I do. Needing to make sense of the little monster in my mind. That's where this book comes into play. I read the synopsis and Ms Pritchett sounds like me. I was intrigued and had to know more. Huge thanks to Faber & Faber for letting me review this book.

This book was a bit of a roller-coaster emotionally wise, hardly surprising I suppose. The author is very relatable, her style of writing is easy to read and she is a very engaging narrator. Before this book I must admit I was unfamiliar with Georgia Pritchett but I enjoyed this work. There are ups and downs in this work and some parts are quite difficult to read. I liked the anecdotal nature of the work and found myself really connecting with Ms Pritchett. All in all I recommend it, it is a great book to dip in and out of. 


Take care everyone.


Until the next time !

Life Hacks For A Little Alien Alice Franklin

  A story for everyone who has ever felt just that little bit different.  The tale of Little Alien is heartwarming and we follow how they navigate the world around them through the book they are trying to understand, it is t old from the second perspective.  When the Alien discovers the unusual Voynich manuscript she becomes convinced that it will explain the mysteries of the world, and ultimately herself too.  .Personally second point of perspective is a little bit tricky to read at times as its not something I overly choose to read. It's a very quick read and does flow well and it is broken at times by footnotes.  Thank you NetGalley as always and to little, Brown and Company for sending this book to review.

Book Review The Great When by Alan Moore

Book Review The Great When by Alan Moore 'Dennis Knuckleyard is a hapless eighteen-year-old who works and lives in a second-hand bookstore. One day, his boss and landlady, Coffin Ada, sends him to retrieve some rare books, one of which, Dennis discovers, should not exist. A London Walk by Rev. Thomas Hampole is a fictitious book that appears in a real novel by another author. Yet A London Walk is physically there in his hands, nonetheless'.   and so begins this fantasy novel. Really great storyline, Moore creates a richly detailed London that draws you in. It is surreal and sarcastic at times with bleak elements too. At times it is a little challenging to read, but the pacing is good despite a slightly slow start. I was only familiar with Moore's graphic novel but this was really good. Thanks as always to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
