South African books to add to your reading list this festive season - part 1

Hiya book lovers With Christmas being just around the corner, I thought I’d highlight some South African reads that should go on your TBR pile. We have so many phenomenal SA authors that deserve to be celebrated , and because this list will be an extensive one, I am splitting this post and making it a series. I know it won’t be possible to include every single South African author, but I am going to try to  highlight books from every genre and make it as diverse as possible (so, with respect, please don’t ask me why so and so isn’t on the list – there’s more to come).  First up:  1. Sing Down the Stars by Nerine Dorman A book I recently received for review ( thanks you NB publishers ) and am super excited about diving into is Sing Down the Stars. I was first introduced to Nerine’s writing years ago, when I read one of her first books, What Sweet Music They Make (Would 100% still love to see more of that). Over the years, I ’ve come to know Nerine as well and she’s not ...

The Secret

Giveaway: Win 1 of 3 copies of A Court of Thorns and Roses or win a copy of Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas (Open internationally)

Hi fellow book lovelies

It’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog.

I’ve been away for a couple of weeks (I’ve had a very good reason – which I’ll elaborate more on sometime in the future), but know that I haven’t forgotten about the ACOTAR giveaway.

If you have yet to get yourself a copy of this amazing read (my review will be up in the next week or so), you’re in luck because today I’m going to give you the opportunity to win a copy of the book.

Two of the three copies will go to a South African reader and the third one will go to a reader based in any country the Book Depository ships to.

International lovelies – to sweeten the deal, I’m actually going to give you the option to choose between ACOTAR and Queen of Shadows.

Rules:

Here’s what you need to do:

Simply leave a comment below or tweet me (@Tammy24_7)  with a response to the following question:

Which fantasy novel do you think is severely underrated and why do you think more people should know about it?


Competition closes 17 September and you get two bonus entries if you tweet  or share the competition anywhere.

Book review: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany & Jack Thorne

Firstly, a huge apology for my absence. It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, I know, but a number of factors have prevented me from getting around to updating - exhaustion being the primary reason for my silence.    I hope to get around to blogging more this month, but in the meantime, I thought I’d get back into the swing of things by posting up this short review of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, which, although not perfect, I quite enjoyed!     Source: Review copy from the publishers.

Book review: Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

Sometimes you don’t win the war, but you learn how to navigate the battleground. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green (first published in 2017 by Penguin Random House) Disclaimer: A shortened version of this review originally appeared on W24.co.za . Click on the link at the bottom to purchase a copy of the book. If I could sum up John Green’s latest book -  which focuses on a young teen with severe obsessive compulsive disorder – in one sentence then this is what that sentence would be: Sometimes you don’t win the war but you learn how to navigate the battleground.   I say this because as someone with depression and social anxiety disorder, I’ve been around the bend a few times. I have as many good days as I have bad days and sometimes the one outdoes the other.  I hope to win the war some day, but for now, I do what I can to keep going. Like I said, navigating. John Green is a household name in the YA genre.  The bestselling author of hits like Paper Towns, Lookin...
