A QUIET KIND OF THUNDER by Sara Barnard

January 15, 2017

Book cover & rating – A QUIET KIND OF THUNDER by Sara BarnardBefore A Quiet Kind of Thunder, I had never read a book involving a character with selective mutism, nor a character who is deaf. It didn’t occur to me previously that I hadn’t until I had the opportunity to review this book. I was a little unsure if I would like it because it’s primarily a romance novel. On the flip side, Sara Barnard wrote this and I really enjoyed her debut, Beautiful Broken Things, so I was still curious.

THE CALL by Peadar Ó Guilín

October 6, 2016

Book cover & rating - THE CALL by Peadar Ó GuilínBefore receiving a review copy of The Call, I hadn’t heard of it. Reviews on Goodreads were few and vague. The synopsis didn’t give much away either. All I knew was that this would be a book of horror — a genre I generally avoid. In any case, with Halloween around the bend, I thought I should at least read one creepy book this month.

· Categories: Fiction Keywords: betrayal, boarding school, bullying, death, disability, friendship, hope, irish authors, lgbtq characters, loyalty, monsters, murder, mythology, survival

A BLIND SPOT FOR BOYS by Justina Chen

December 30, 2014

Book cover of A BLIND SPOT FOR BOYS by Justina ChenThis books is hands down my favourite book of 2014! I can say this with conviction to the highest degree because this is my last book review of the year. And I can already tell the two books I am currently reading will not trump A Blind Spot for Boys.

· Categories: Fiction Keywords: adventure, american authors, dating, disability, family, friendship, hiking, hope, realistic fiction, romance, self discovery, siblinghood
