I'm Isla Rose, nice to meet you!
I must admit, I was initially pretty nervous to start this blog. I'm an avid reader, and I love writing, but actually starting a blog for book reviews was still significantly outside my comfort zone. I have no experience in how to write a review, aside from what google has been able to tell me.
I generally just post my reviews on Goodreads for a couple eyes to see, but I thought I'd take the opportunity to expand and share my thoughts and feelings on the books I read.
So, a little bit about me.
My name is Isla Rose, and I'm 25. I'm the mum of a superbly wild, free-spirited 5 year old called Maisie. She is undoubtedly insane and challenges my sanity every single day, but she is the light of my life and I truly don't know where I would be without her.
When I'm not busy being a Mum, I am studying part-time at college and pottering about the house keeping it clean, painting, or sitting with a cup of tea and a book. I've always enjoyed reading as a general past-time, but it's only really within the last 6 months or so that I've dived head first into the land of literature. Now, I can barely go 10 minutes without fighting the temptation to pick up a book and indulge myself shamelessly in a fantasy world. As well as reading, I enjoy doing crosswords and quizzes, I like to challenge myself. I'm a sucker for random facts and am always looking to learn new things. I'm a pet mum to a small black cat named Otis and I have a dwarf hamster named bug, both of whom are like my second and third kids. I'd have all the pets in the world if I could, but I can't imagine my landlord would be best pleased!
Anyways, back to books!
I find I gravitate more towards crime novels and sometimes a dark psychological thriller; but I read a bit of everything varying from romance to fantasy to murder mysteries.
In this blog, I will be regularly reviewing books I am reading, and have previously read, keeping it as up to date and fresh as possible. I welcome discussions and comments from fellow readers and I'm always looking for good recommendations! If you have a book you're intrigued by, but you're not sure, send it my way.
I will also be posting my reviews on my goodreads account, but I'll delve much more in depth on here. And don't worry, I'll always warn you if there is a chance of spoilers!
