🌿 New Book Review Alert! 🌿 Drama and danger

🌿 New Book Review Alert! 🌿 Drama and danger are abound in this history mystery. Centered around Hermann Mohll, a master sword maker from Prussia, the plot is filled with mystery and intrigue. After Mohll is forced to move to the North of England due to hardship, he finds himself embroiled in a plot that will change the course of his life. The main thing that drew me to this novel was the setting – not only the era of the 17th century but also the fact that it’s based near where I grew up! I loved reading about all the mentions of local places I’ve heard of and it really added to the realism of the novel for me. Furthermore, Steadman is great at bringing the era to life. It’s evident that they’ve really researched the period and this really shows in their writing. But, if you’re not familiar with the north of England, I would still highly recommend reading this book. It is a tale full of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes until the very end. Thank you so much to @lovebookstours and @helensteadman1650 for a review copy of this novel! #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookshelf

🌺 Book Review Alert! 🌺 Jacobites, murder an

🌺 Book Review Alert! 🌺 Jacobites, murder and mystery abound in The Slaughter of Leith Hall, making for the perfect historically themed suspense novel. And honestly – what’s not to love in it? This novel will have you on the edge of your seat. The Slaughter of Leith Hall follows Charlie Rob, manservant to John Leith. When his master is *spoilers* murdered in a supposed duel, Charlie finds himself on a journey for justice for his former employer. He, as well as the many other characters, make for an immersive and enjoyable read. There is also a character list at the beginning of the novel, making it a lot easier to keep track of the many supporting cast. Told in Scots and littered with slang, the novel really makes you feel as though you are on this mission with Charlie. Set just after the Battle of Culloden, this novel is perfect for any Outlander fans wanting to try out something different. And guess what? The Slaughter of Leith Hall is inspired by a real event! I really enjoyed reading about the world that Conyngham has created around this mystery, as I’m sure, will you. This novel will have you gripped to the very end. Filled with twists and turns, it’s sure to be a classic of Historical crime fiction in the future. Now onto see what else Conyngham has written! Thank you to @lovebookstours and @lexieconyngham for a free review copy of this book. #lovebookstours #bookstagram #instabooks

🌿 book review alert! 🌿 Life After You by @m

🌿 book review alert! 🌿 Life After You by @msogorman Meet Milly – she’s a corporate lawyer, struggling with the loss of her father five years earlier. Her work environment is incredibly patriarchal, and she finds an unlikely friendship in her ‘Capricorn’ co-worker, Catriona. Along with the help of her best friend, Siobhán, Life After You follows Milly’s journey to overcoming grief and terrible boyfriends in an enjoyable and sweet read. This book is full of good stuff – there’s a lot of discussion of mental health, which I found to be touched upon very gently and respectfully. The frequent descriptions of anxiety and panic attacks were surprisingly accurate, and I found it helpful to read of someone going through the same experiences that I have. I wasn’t expecting this going into reading the novel, but I wholly appreciate it. I also found O’Gorman’s humour to be delightful to read. Although Milly’s boyfriend and his overcontrolling mum are admittedly vile characters who attempt to buy Milly’s love with money, O’Gorman writes about them in such a way that has you laughing at their ridiculousness, rather than hating them. This balances out the seriousness of the topics of mental health covered, which I loved. Another great thing about this book is the sheer level of detail O’Gorman manages to pack into it. Although Milly is our protagonist, the other characters are all fully fleshed out in a lifelike way that makes you feel as though you’re living in Ireland with Milly. This is a wonderful and surprisingly touching read – lighthearted and meaningful at the same time, I recommend it to anyone who loves Women’s Fiction. Thanks to @rachelsrandomresources for having me along on this book tour! #bookstagram #bookblogger #lifeafteryou

Good morning friends! I hope you're all doing amazingly. I've been a bit inactive lately because I've been moving house/starting a degree/a new job - but I'm back! I've even stolen this book from my lovely housemate @estheralexandra_ to take an ~aesthetic photo with. Happy Tuesday! #bookstagram #bibliophile #zadiesmith #bookblogger #bookshelf
