A Review of "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes"
“Some people call these Swamp Potatoes, but I like Katniss better, it's got a nice ring to it,” (340, Collins). This quote is said by Lucy Gray in the book The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins, many Hunger Games fans would agree that placing the name Katniss would later foreshadow her purpose in The Hunger Games series. Although The Hunger Games was great, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes adds new depths and perspectives to the original story.

Rachel Reviews: Death in the Tallgrass by Donald Willerton
I really enjoyed Death in the Tallgrass. Firstly, it is best that you know that I love any book which is set in the Wild West: in the days of the pioneers and settlers and their encounters with Native American tribes; with the stories of the less reputable white folk who find themselves down on their luck and trying to find a way to survive; where people looking for a new life or travelling to a better one were exposed on the plains and carried guns for protection and to use for hunting for sustenance. It is the perfect setting and environment for a tense tale of adventure. And that is what Willerton has created here.

December Reads
I’ve always been a big reader, growing up getting lost in a book was my favorite thing in the whole world. With kindle it was easy to just read online but I love the feel of book in my hands, curling up with a cup or tea, or hot chocolate. With school ending this month I had more time to crack up some books.

Rachel Reviews: The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell
I am so glad I discovered Katherine Rundell. This has been one of the best things that I can take away from 2023 - The Golden Mole was a revelation and, when I discovered that she also wrote fiction, it was only a matter of time until I sought her out.
