Note: this will mainly be based on the TV show and, as a result, there will be spoilers! There is a lot that is missing from the books in the show, but it is something that should be expected from an adaptation. I will also not be using names because I am using Dragon dictation [...]

Review: the midnight library by Matt Haig

Book review: A slow fire burning by Paula Hawkins
I recently read this book because they recommended it to me with my membership on audible. That's not to say I want to read it anyway, as I found the plot in the synopsis intriguing. The basic story revolves around the brutal murder of a young bloke on a houseboat and the police trying to [...]
