Lore Olympus vol 2 by Rachel Smythe Review

Hey ForeverBookers,  I’ve just finished reading Lore Olympus vol 2 and I loved it.  4 stars! We’re still following Persephone as she tries to navigate the underworld. Apollo is a tool towards her. She only really has Hades, the Lord of the Underworld on her side. As they try to make their lives better will they get pulled apart?  I absolutely LOVE the use of colour in this graphic novel, from the bright pinks to the dull burgeoning blues and blacks, it’s stunning to look at and read. My favourite parts are of course the romantic parts between Persephone and Hades, although we saw more from other characters of the underworld in volume 2 as well.  I’m excited to continue my journey with this series soon! 

Pages & Co, Tilly & The Book Wanderers by Anna James Review

  Hi ForeverBookers,   How are you all today? I hope you’re good! I’ve just finished reading Pages & Co - Tilly And The Bookwanderers by Anna James and I LOVED it!!! It really was “Delightful! A Joy of a book” as Kiran Millwood Hargrave quotes on the front cover.  We follow Tilly, a curious 10 year old girl, as she finds out about her origins and her life through the world of books. She lives with her grandparents and has a best friend, Oskar who are all present in quite a lot of the story. Oskar has dyslexia too. It was nice to see disability representation. I liked how “Tilly And The Bookwanderers”was set in England too, as it’s where I’m from. I guess it felt homely in a way.  I read Tilly And The Bookwanderers for a few readathons. They were:  Reading Rivalry - book with an insect/bug on the cover - there’s a bee, which is a reference to something I don’t want to spoil in the book!  Always Fully Booked Challenge 2026 - Stars on the Cover - on my har...

In The Weeds (#2 Lovelight Farms) by BK Borrison Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you all today? I hope you’re good!  I’ve just finished reading  “In The Weeds”  by B.K. Borrison and I really enjoyed it. I read the first in the Lovelight Farms series, “Lovelight Farms” last year, and I liked it. I definitely preferred  “In The Weeds,” though. We start with Beckett, the MMC of the story who’s working at Lovelight Farm as he was in  “Lovelight Farms.”  In the first chapter, it’s a little bit of a flashback to when he and Evelyn, the FMC, slept together during the time frame of book 1, the prequel of  “In The Weeds.”  The MMC and FMC are different in each book in this series. We follow a different romance in each.  “In The Weeds”  is basically the love story of Beckett and Evie, the social media girl in  “Lovelight Farms.”   Can they be together?  I read  “In The Weeds”  for a readathon, which was:  Reading Rivalry - This Is The Life - A book you ju...

House Of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J Maas Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  I’ve just finished reading “House of Earth and Blood” (Crescent City #1) and I bloody ADORED it! It was soooooo good. I loved how it was adult but also fun and had many funny moments as well as tense moments.  4.5 Stars!  “House of Earth and Blood” tells the story of Bryce Quinlan, a twenty three year old, half fae girl. Her father is King of the Autumn court. And her brother on her father’s side, Ruhn is special or is he? I liked Ruhn but not as much as Hunt, who enters the plot near the beginning of the novel but not right away. Near the beginning, Bryce loses her best friend Danika. She dies in a horrible killing. This killer is revealed later, near the end of the book. Bryce gets put with Hunt, a fallen Archangel to determine who is the killer. Bryce works at Griffin Antiques, a gallery under the lead of Jesiba Roga. Bryce doesn’t like her boss. This was a funny relationship to read. I enjoyed how annoyed Bryce got with Jesiba. Hunt needs Bryce’s...

Ship Of Destiny (The Liveship Traders #3) by Robin Hobb Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all today? I hope you’re well.  Earlier on today I finished “Ship Of Destiny” by Robin Hobb. I surprisingly enjoyed it. I thought it would take me months to get through, like it did with “Ship of Magic” and “The Mad Ship,” books 1 and 2 in “The Liveship Traders” trilogy, but I’m very pleased to say that I highly enjoyed it, so much that it took me only around a week, and for a book just over 900 pages, I think that’s pretty good. 4.5 Stars! I read “Ship of Destiny” for a few readathons. They were: Reading Rivalry - You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home - Althea certainly has a moment of “coming back home,” I’d say.  Always Fully Booked Reading Challenge 2026 - Read a book set on a boat - Almost all of the plot of Ship of Destiny is set at sea in one boat or another, so I’m counting it for this. NOTE: There’s mention of blood and gore in “Ship of Destiny” and some sexual advances as well as rape scene.  Spoilers Below “ Decided!”...
