The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley Review

  Hi ForeverBookers,   How are you all today? I hope you’re good! Ive just finished reading “The Hunting Party” by Lucy Foley, which I’m very surprised to say, I enjoyed. I never read thrillers and I don’t think I’ll read another one for a while, but I did somewhat enjoy this. Thrillers are quick and easy to fly through at least. 3 Stars! “The Hunting Party” is about a group of friends who go to a isolated, hunting lodge in a part of Scotland that’s remote. It’s set during a freezing winter holiday, before and after the new year of 2019. There’s a tense atmosphere because most of the ‘friends’ aren’t really friends any longer. The plot is quite simple, really. What I enjoyed out of it was the arguing and drama between the characters, which I knew there would be in a twisty thriller.  “The Hunting Party” is told from lots of different perspectives. We start with Heather who is a worker at the hunting lodge. She’s a nice person with no real quirks. She’s just do...

The Worst Witch Strikes Again (The Worst Witch #2) by Jill Murphy Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  I’ve just finished reading “The Worst Witch Strikes Again” by Jill Murphy, which I really liked! It’s a middle grade but I enjoyed it. It was a nice reminder of why I liked reading as a child. I read these books for the first time when I was actually a child.  I read this for Reading Rivalry. The prompt was A Book Featuring A Teacher. Miss Hardbroom, Miss Cackle, Miss Bat and Miss Drill all feature in this second book in “The Worst Witch series.” In “The Worst Witch Strikes Again,” we join Mildred again as she navigates life at Cackles Academy. These books are very quick and easy to read but they’re fun and lighthearted. The artwork is fun too.  Spoilers below... Mildred is tasked with looking after the new girl, Enid Nightshade. What do these two get up to together? Well, they cause trouble. I’ll leave it at that as it’s so short but it’s a good/engaging read.

I See London, I See France by Sarah Mlynowski Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  I’ve just finished reading “I See London, I See France,” which I really enjoyed. It’s a fun, backpacking novel through Europe with our protagonists, Sydney and Leela and the adventures they have.  3 Stars I read “I See London, I See France,” for a couple readathons. They were: Reading Rivalry - A library book - I got my copy of “I See London, I See France” from the library.  Always Fully Booked Reading Challenge - A Country or City in the title - I See London, I See France” has both a country and a city in the title so it doubly works!  Sydney is a 19 year old American girl is the main protagonist of “I See London, I See France,” who’s mom suffers with extreme anxiety. She doesn’t go out without Sydney anywhere. Neither does she talk to others. When Sydney first goes on this adventure to Europe with Leela, her best friend, she’s unsure of leaving her mom with her sister, Addison because she’s never looked after her before. While on t...

Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you all today? I hope you’re good!  I’ve just finished reading “Birthday Girl” by Penelope Douglas and I LOVED it! If you know my tastes in books, you’ll know that I love a good forbidden, explicit romance and that’s exactly what this was. The explicitness wasn’t that major but towards the end there were a few more sex scenes than I was expecting! I welcomed them, though!  “Birthday Girl” is told from both our FMC, Jordan and our MMC, Pike’s POVs. I liked seeing the action from both points of view as it made the story feel more realistic to me.  “Birthday Girl” starts with Jordan going to the movies for her 17th birthday on her own because her waste of space boyfriend, Cole can’t be bothered to go with her. When she’s there she talks to sits also the same row as another man. This man, Pike, only turns out to be Cole’s father! The action goes from there, as Jordan and Cole move in with Pike because they can’t afford the r...

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (Ninth House Trilogy #1) by Leigh Bardugo Review

  Hi ForeverBookers, How are you doing today? I hope you’re well!  I’ve just finished reading “Ninth House” by Leigh Bardugo, which I enjoyed. I’d read Leigh Bardugo’s “Shadow and Bone” books and “Six Of Crows” previously, and I didn’t like them but “Ninth House” is her first foray into adult literature. I preferred reading where she wasn’t held back by rules to fit into a certain demographic.  3.5 Stars “Ninth House” tells the story of Alex or Galaxy Stern. She’s a lost character at the beginning of the book. Only when she finds a task or someone to fight for does she become a worthy character in my eyes. She attends Yale, in America. There she experiences a tragic event, of which she’s the sole survivor. Why is SHE the sole survivor and what does this mean for her? I’ll let you read for yourself but the novel basically hinges on this point. Alex is tasked with looking into the activities of Yale’s secret societies. Why? And what does this mean for the story?...
