The Oldest Books on my TBR – Top Ten Tuesday! – Becky's Book Blog
Hello, hello! This weeks TTT prompt certainly made me question some of the books on my TBR. I decided to sort mine through publication year, rather than longest on my TBR and I was surprised at how old some of these are, 8 of the 10 coming out before I was born! A lot of…

Monthly Wrap-up – October 2024! – Becky's Book Blog
Hello, hello! I hope you're all having a brilliant November so far. October ended up being a quiet month for me, I had three birthdays to attend/pay for, but other than that I didn't really get up to much... I did manage to book a cheeky weekend away in Oslo next March though and I'm…

Goodreads Was Wrong – Book Tag! – Becky's Book Blog
I've taken part in a couple of book tags recently, but this might just be my favourite and the most fun! I saw this over on Veronica's blog and couldn't resist taking part myself, especially as someone who never really looks at the goodreads rating before picking a book up. The tag was originally created…

Books With Flowers on the Cover – Top Ten Tuesday! – Becky's Book Blog
Hello, hello! This weeks TTT prompt was Cover's with 'blank' on them, and I decided to go down the floral root for my post. I am a sucker for a pretty cover, and I've noticed over the years that a lot of those feature flowers in some way, so I decided to show off 10…

Valentine’s Day by Josie Jaffrey – ARC Review! – Becky's Book Blog
Jack Valentine is no stranger to a manhunt, but usually she's the one doing the hunting. In retrospect, maybe her assassination attempt on the Primus – the most powerful Silver in existence – was a mistake. She probably shouldn’t have murdered her ex-girlfriend either, however necessary it seemed at the time. But if Jack could…

Monthly TBR – November 2024! – Becky's Book Blog
Hello, hello! It's almost November?!? How has that happened. Honestly this year has just flown by and I can't believe it's Christmas next month.

Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw – Book Review! – Becky's Book Blog

Fevered Star by Rebecca Roanhorse – Book Review! – Becky's Book Blog
The great city of Tova is shattered. The sun is held within the smothering grip of the Crow God’s eclipse, but a comet that marks the death of a ruler and heralds the rise of a new order is imminent. The Meridian: a land where magic has been codified and the worship of gods suppressed.…

Fangs out bitches… We’re getting fed! – Becky's Book Blog
Over the last few years Vampire's have been having a re-emergence and gone is the glittering teenage angst. Instead we're getting more scares, more snark and in some cases, a whole lot more smut. As someone who absolutely fell into the Twilight loving era, I thought that maybe Vampires had become a thing of the…
