Review| The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle – Stuart Turton
At the beginning of the year, Isabelle and I chose 3 books we wanted the other to read. I finally finished the first one (and am over halfway with the second one), haha. One of the books Isabelle chose for me was The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. I ended up doing a buddy read with Ellie from Read to Ramble and it was such an interesting ride. Keep on reading to find out what I thought of this story!

Bookish Item | End of the Year TBR
Merry Christmas! Just a couple of days left in 2020! What a year it has been. And while some people have been reading more than ever, I can’t really say the same haha.

Tag| The Christmas Stocking Book Tag
Today is Christmas Eve and I thought it would be fitting to post one more Christmas tag before it’s actually Christmas.

Let’s check this tag out!

Buddy Review| Vampires Never Get Old Part 1
Anthologies can be tricky, because short stories have to grab your attention pretty quickly. When we heard about Vampires Never Get Old we were both excited. Stories about vampires can be pretty interesting. The line up in this anthology was amazing and that made it even easier to pick this one up. We decided to split our review into to two parts, because there are quite a few stories. So keep on reading for our review of the first six stories. On Wednesday part 2 will be posted with our conclusion as well. Keep on reading to find out what we thought!
