Ready for a two-pronged sort of discussion, everyone?
I personally find these questions really interesting (obviously, otherwise I wouldn’t write an entire post about it). I love knowing how other people go through their reviewing process, but I never thought to much about the process of choosing which books to review. Everyone does it differently. And how often do you have to review to be classed as a “reviewer”?
I honestly don’t really want to write this review. I hate it when reviews aren’t good ones…but I’ve got to be honest. Plus it’s not ALL bad, so…yeah.
UGHHHH.
Let’s just get on with it.

How happy I am to finally be writing this review!
Ever since reading The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich, I’ve been obsessed. I talk about it all the time. If you have me on Twitter, you’ve probably seen.
So you can imagine how thrilled I was when Dawn offered to send me an ARC to review of her new book, The Creeper Man! 😀
Seriously, I ran downstairs and started jumping up and down practically screaming at my dad in incoherent nonsense.
(though maybe you don’t want to…talking about him can summon terrible things…DUN DUN DUNNNNN)

I’ve seen this sort of post around before, and actually found them really interesting…so I decided to do my own version!
Basically, I’m going to be explain how I review the books I read, in step by step order.
This will also give you an idea of how I decide which star rating to give each book.
I’ve split this into 10 steps, so I’ve really broken down my review process. I had to create an exact order to the process so that I didn’t forget anything, so this is the way I think when reviewing.
Hopefully this post will be interesting or helpful to you!
Another week, another discussion post!
I didn’t have a specific idea for this week’s post, so I consulted my notebook and picked out one of my ideas, and chose this one.
I saw a discussion like this a long time ago and it really caught my attention, so it’s always been on my mind since.
So today I’m asking you…
February has been and almost gone, and for once this month felt like it lasted ages. Normally the months flash by without a pause, but looking back today and seeing which books I read, it actually seems like a lifetime ago when I read the books at the beginning of the month.
Anyway, as usual with these wrap ups, I’ll be sharing the books I’ve read, what I’m currently reading, a list of posts uploaded this month, and a life in general updates section.
Today is one of those days where I’m feeling very lazy, and all I want to do is sit and read. It took a long while for me to motivate myself to write this post. So I decided to do a book tag – or THE book tag – since I have loads of them waiting in my drafts.
Hopefully after writing this up, I can motivate myself to take a review photo and write up tomorrow’s review. Hopefully.
Anyway, I was tagged by Naomi @ Escpae From Realities quite a while ago, so here are my answers…finally!
*All of my reviews are spoiler free*
This was a REread for me!
I first read this book at the very beginning of 2015 (I think) and loved it the first time round, and since the second book is being released later this month, I decided it was about time I Reread this beauty. So now when my Pre-order of A Gathering of Shadows
PS. I spent WAY too much time taking the review photo (below). I had the idea with the hand and black stone, and wouldn’t give up on it. So the results are as you can see. And yes, the black stone thing is actually relevant to the story – people who have read it should understand 🙂

This weeks’ discussion post is a lighter topic but very well loved: Bookstagram.
Since the last two discussions have been questions, this one will be just a general share-your-ideas-accounts-and-chat type discussion.
So here we are…my first book review of 2016! I started this one just before the new year and finished it yesterday, and I don’t think I could’ve chosen a better book to lead the new year in.
Plus can I just say I LOVE the cover ❤
The story reminds me of this pendant I have hanging on my wall of a woman smelling a rose (people who have read it will probably know why) so I decided to add it to the photo below.
