Books Read
Kingdom of Souls by Rena Barron
I absolutely loved this fantasy novel, and I can’t believe I waited so long before I picked it up!
Buy from Waterstones here
Circe by Madeline Miller
I listened to the audiobook of this novel, I had begun reading the physical book, but I couldn’t really get started with it, so I decided to listen to the audio instead. Honestly I was a bit disappointed by this one, I loved The Song of Achilles, but I found this book a bit boring.

I read a digital ARC of this gothic horror book, and it is stunning! The sense of creeping menace and the eerie setting was wonderful, one of my favourites of the year for sure!
