All Rights Reserved by Gregory Scott Katsoulis

6th Aug 2018 by Norrie

All Rights Reserved is a story that would work perfectly as an episode of Black Mirror. The premise sounds a bit far fetched, but at the same time you can’t help but wonder if it isn’t something that might just happen one day. I mean, personalized advertising the book mentions often, is already sort of a thing now… All Rights Reserved by Gregory Scott Katsoulis Genres: Dystopia, Young Adult Published: 29th August, 2017 Goodreads | Bookdepository | Amazon UK Series: […]

Ready For The Beach? These 16 Books Will Put You In Summer Mood

7th Jun 2018 by Norrie

Even though I like autumn with it’s orange coloured leaves and golden sunsets, pumpkin pies and walks in the crisp mornings, if I could live in eternal summer, I would. There’s just something about warm sand, floaty dresses and the promise of boat trips I can’t get enough of. I grew up in a country where we had proper seasons, and I lived two minutes away from a riverside where we spent almost every day, eating ice cream, swimming, and […]

An Abundance of YA & Contemporary – Book Haul #5

4th May 2018 by Norrie

Well, well, well… I think I’ve built up quite a reputation in my local charity shop. I’d go as far as to say I’m a regular customer now, and always manage to leave with an armful of books after my weekly visits. These past few weeks I managed to score a bunch of YA and contemporary books I’ve been eyeing for a while (and some I haven’t). Let’s see the loot! After I finished Eleanor & Park, I decided I […]

Norrie

Book lover, cat hugger, coffee drinker, wiseass, capable of eating half a cheesecake in one sitting. Best not to approach before she had her breakfast. Loves a good thriller, but would probably not touch romance with a stick. Based on the amount of crime fiction she’s read, could probably solve a crime. Or not, but she would certainly try. Loves science fiction and secretly dreams about joining the Starfleet since she was fourteen. Hates ignorance and anything with coriander. Doesn’t operate well below 25 degree Celsius.
