Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all? Hope you’re enjoying the hot weather if you’re in the northern hemisphere like I am. It feels like we get so little of it! I’ve just finished “The Orange Grove” by Rosanna Ley, which I absolutely loved! The story is set in the UK and Seville, Spain. I loved learning more about Spain, a place that I haven’t ever really wanted to go. This review will be pretty basic because “The Orange Grove” doesn’t have any magical aspects.  I read “The Orange Grove” for a couple of readathons. They were: Reading Rivalry - A book with a colour in the title - the title is “The Orange Grove,” which refers to the fruit but it’s still a colour too! Popsugar Challenge 2021 - A book set somewhere you want to visit in 2021 - If I could I’d LOVE to visit Seville, where “The Orange Grove” is set primarily because the author just makes it sound perfect and magical, even though this is very much a contemporary story. We follow Holly, a girl in her early thirties ...

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all today? I hope you’re good! I’ve just finished “Take Me Home Tonight” by Morgan Matson, which I buddyread with a friend. I had fun with this novel. It was an easy standalone to read, which wasn’t intense at all—perfect for summer!  I read “Take Me Home Tonight” for a couple of Readathons. They were: * Cardcaptor-a-thon - The Float - Read a contemporary... I note down below that I don’t read too many contemporaries. Even though I have several on this months TBR - who knew... * My buddyread with my Canadian friend - She enjoyed the book too, and finished it much quicker than I did! * Reading Rivalry for page points as I started it at the end of May! Whatever-You-Want-A-Thon - Maddy (Book Browsing Blog on Youtube) is hosting a readathon this month with specific prompts. “Take Me Home Tonight” works as my “Cover With Your Team Colour On The Cover” as the authors name is orange and the cabs come across to me as a shade of orange. *Popsugar ...

Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you all doing today? I’m sorry that I seem to have been gone for a LONG time again, but I’ve FINALLY finished “Ship of Magic” book 1 of the “Liveship Traders” trilogy by Robin Hobb! I’m making it sound like I didn’t enjoy it but I really DID! It’s a very long book, not as long as “IT” by Stephen King but still long, with lots of elements to make it up. 5 Stars!!! I only read Ship Of Magic for one readathon, which was:  * Reading Rivalry - page points - I read from page 533 to page 880 in May! * PopSugar Reading Challenge, 2021 - A book featuring three generations - Ephron, Keffria/Altthea and Wintrow/Malta.  * It doesn’t work for any of my left over Cardcaptor-a-thon prompts, unfortunately. My next read will, though! This adult fantasy is a part of the “Realm Of The Elderlings” series by Robin Hobb. It’s book 1 to the 2nd trilogy of it, the “Liveship Traders.” It follows Althea Vestrit primarily, as she loses her father, Eph...

Hi ForeverBookers,  I’m sorry that I haven’t been here in a while! It’s taken me a while to read “Six Of Crows!” And I’m currently about half way in another book that I was reading before “Six Of Crows.” I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it either, hence my 3 star rating. It was just very mediocre for me.  3 Stars! I read “Six of Crows” for a few readathons/reading challenges, which were: * Reading Rivalry - Read a book that has multiple series set in the same world - The Grisha world has the orginal Grisha trilogy, the “Six Of Crows” duology, and the King Of Scars duology. Also reading “Six Of Crows” gave bonus points as it’s what this months Reading Rivalry was based around.  * A Buddyread - I did a buddyread with a friend who lives in Canada. We discussed the book as we read it. It was a reread for her and a first time read for me. * The Cardcaptor-a-thon - I read “Six Of Crows” for The Glow, read a book that you’re excited to read. I was excited ...
