My 3 favourite books of 2018 so far

Today I want to talk about three of my favourite books that I have read in the past six months (I won’t include one particular book because it is a reread but it is most definitely a favourite and that is The Gracekeepers, which you can read my review for here).

Brokeback Mountain 

I had to read this novella for uni and I am so glad! I watched the movie years ago and I thought it was very good, but wow, the book hits hard! 

Synopsis

Review

 

This is an important story that looks at the need for understanding, love and equality. It truly is a profound piece of writing, and I can see myself rereading this multiple times. 

I gave it 4 stars, though I am now wondering why I knocked off a star!! 

Peggy and Me

I Let You Go

 

I Let You Go is a thriller, and as I have been dipping my toe further into the genre in the past year, this was a great one to add to the list and propel my interest in suspense and mystery style books.

Synopsis

Slowly, Jenna begins to glimpse the potential for happiness in her future. But her past is about to catch up with her, and the consequences will be devastating.

Review

Be aware that there is strong violence and abuse at times, and deals with some tough topics. However, the intrigue and drama of the story really hooked me in and I definitely recommend it to thriller and crime lovers, and also to those wanting to test out the genre. I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.
