Lowest Rated Books on my TBR

April 5, 2022April 5, 2022by amyleighreads9 Comments

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is a freebie so I’ve decided to see what the 10 most lowest rated books are on my physical TBR are at the moment from Goodreads. I don’t really check ratings ever before I pick up a book but I figure this could be a fun post to come back to when I’ve read the books and compare what my rating is to the majority.

Dead to Her by Sarah Pinborough – 3.32

Don’t You Cry by Mary Kubica – 3.56

Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage – 3.63

The Arrangement by Robyn Harding – 3.73

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon – 3.78

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough – 3.79

The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena – 3.80

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell by Susana Clark – 3.84

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn – 3.94

Pet Semetary by Stephen King – 4.03

Ship/Pirate Book Recommendations!

March 17, 2022March 1, 2022by amyleighreads2 Comments

One particular trope or setting I have found to consistently enjoy over the last few years are books that involve ships, pirates or just generally travelling over water on an adventure. So I figured I would recommend a few of my favourites if this is something you are also interested in picking up!

5 of my Favourite Ship/Pirate Books are:

Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller
