With the final book in Keira Andrews’ Gay Amish trilogy, we are returned to where the story started, but this is a book that is all about change. With Isaac and David forced to reconcile their past, A Way Home ultimately looks to the future, and once again demonstrates Andrews’ skill at crafting multi-layered complex characters and riveting narrative journeys.

Of course, there’s the big names like Oscar Wilde and WB Yeats, but there’s plenty of other Irish novelists and poets that we think you should check out. Here’s just a few of them.

Yes, World Book Day is primarily a day where you get children dressed up as their favourite characters and encourage their reading. But that doesn't mean that us adults can't have some fun too. And thus, I present the World Book Day drinking game.

Please note: do not play this drinking game if you are in any way responsible for the wellbeing of a child on World Book Day. Remember to drink responsibly. Drinking something that is befitting your fancy dress costume is always advised.

Love Letters to the Dead - Review

2/27/2015

by Hayley Charlesworth

One of the biggest and most unfortunate parts of celebrity culture is the fascination with a star who burned bright and burned out quickly. It is my theory that everyone has that one idol who died young, whose loss still affects them in some way. A person who showed so much promise in their short life that the tragedy of their death is only amplified, whether that be a singer who committed suicide or a pilot whose plane went missing. Love Letters to the Dead, fittingly with that title, is a love letter to all of these people, but also a touching and heartbreaking story of a teenage girl moving ahead with her life following a terrible experience and the death of her own idol, her older sister.

Review: Landline by Rainbow Rowell

2/6/2015

by Hayley Charlesworth

To say that Landline is not one of Rainbow Rowell’s best books is in no way an insult, but rather a compliment to her incredibly readable and fun novels. Unlike her most popular books, Eleanor and Park and Fangirl, Landline is a novel aimed at adults, centering on a married couple in crisis, but with an added fantastical twist. Characters are well-realised, as is the unique plot device at the centre of the book. In fact, the only reason why Landline doesn’t rate among Rowell’s best is simply because, while this is great, other books of hers are greater.

by Hayley Charlesworth

Ajax Bell is an exciting new voice in the world of m/m literature, with her debut novel This Charming Man a delightful blend of coming of age, nostalgia and romance. Set in early 90s Seattle, this book is one that isn’t afraid to create flawed characters, and as such the journey they take is much more rewarding.

Today sees the release of the latest Johnny Depp vehicle (without Tim Burton’s involvement!), Mortdecai. But before rushing out to see this comedy crime caper, why not look into Mortdecai’s origins in the excellently titled Don’t Point That Thing At Me by Kyril Bonfiglioli, which first brought the dishonourable Charlie Mortdecai to the world.
