What can I say, Itachi has been my favourite Naruto character since I first watched the anime about 10 years ago. This book perfectly added aspects not in the original and made me emotional all over again!

I enjoyed reading this, it added some information about Itachi's childhood that I don't think I previously knew. However, not a lot happens in this volume, if it was a standalone it'd be a bit boring, but there is a volume 2 so I'm looking forward to reading that next.

This is a really interesting book. I've never read anything surrounding brexit so I found that super interesting, being from the UK myself. I liked the characters and I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series!

I really enjoyed this book. It lost half a star as some parts felt super slow, but the last ~150 pages really grabbed me. I'm still not super sure on Addie's ending either.

Once I got into this book I couldn't put it down. It wasn't what I was expecting but I think that made me like it more as I truly didn't see the twists coming. I would highly recommend avoiding any spoilers before reading this one.

I absolutely loved this book. It may be my new favourite book! The vibes are amazing - the sisterhood, the feminism and the witchiness were exactly what I wanted from an October read. I really enjoyed how nursery rhymes and fairy tales were altered and included in the story. I highly recommend this book, especially if you're looking for something with multiple strong female characters!

This gave me the Halloween vibes I wanted, I really liked the premise and the characters. Can't really fault it except I wasn't scared when listening to it - but then I haven't found any books that make me scared so this may be a me problem!

I enjoyed this manga, the stories were a bit repetitive but they were different enough that I was kept interested throughout. It was definitely creepy and gory but I wouldn't say I felt scared when reading it.

I just think Stephen Kings writing isn't for me, I might try it again one day.
