So I discovered that there is a Meme Book Tag so obviously I have to do it. This was created by two booktubers, Dylan and Saajid and I have linked both of their channels so check them out! Let's get started... 1. Crying Kim Kardashian- A book that made you cry Off to a good start. No book has ever made me cry. I guess I just have a heart of steel. 2. Salt Bae- A book that needed a little something more One of Us Is Lying is the book that comes to mind. I DNFed the book so it needed something more. It was just a little cliched and I wanted more of something in those 100 pages. 3. Guy thinking- A book that made you think I really loved Bygone, Badass Broads. It really made me think about how we really don't see women spoke about in history and how we need more.  4. Confused guy- A book whose hype you don't understand  I don't really understand the hype of One of Us is Lying but I won't say that again. I guess kind of the Throne of Glass se...

Jig loves football and his dog, hates school, misses his granda and knows to lie low when his ma's blitzed on the vodka and tablets. He's just an ordinary boy on the mean streets alongside Dublin's Grand Canal. Streets that are ruled by Ghost and his crew. And now Ghost- inked, vicious, unprincipled- has a job for Jig. A job that no one can afford to go wrong- not the gangs, the police, the locals, and least of all not Jig. Book Review: When I received an offer to join the blog tour for this book, I was quite intrigued as this is not a genre that I typically reach for but I knew that I wanted to push myself out of my typical reading comfort zones and give this...
