Welcome to my reading week. In these posts I will be sharing with you all of the bookish things that happen to me over the week. What I've been reading, my thoughts and any book post I receive.
Books Read
Unfortunately The Sacrifice Box was quite disappointing. What I wanted, and what the premise of this sounded like, was an atmospheric creepy thriller but this turned into a crazy 80s horror story.
I didn't realise this was a middle grade story before I went into it and I think this really aided my enjoyment. This one was quite a macabre story but still very magical, one that would appeal to both adults and children. It also had some lovely themes of friendship throughout.
Finally a graphic novel I enjoyed! I liked how this one was more focused on telling a story (or several) rather than very dialogue and action heavy. This book is also heavily influences by the myths and stories from religion and I liked the twist it put on these.
Another graphic novel that I thought was good. This was a great moody read with a sombre and monochromatic colour palette to match. I enjoyed the simplicity of the story and the art style and I liked the themes of accepting who you are.

I'm still slowly working my way through the stories in this one and I'm still very much enjoying them. So far I haven't found a story I didn't like.

This is the final book in The Relics trilogy and I'm enjoying it so far. It was a little bit slow in the beginning and the plot was a bit lacklustre but it's picked up now and the action is beginning to happen.
