Welcome to my personal book blog - Brown Flopsy's Book Burrow!!
I am mad about books in all their forms - paper books, e-books and audio books.
I review books and share the bookish love. You may also see me talking about books on Twitter (X), Instagram and Threads (@brownflopsy).
I always give honest reviews of the books I have enjoyed, and the views expressed here are completely my own.
I am also a member of, and admin for, the SquadPod Collective bloggers group.

The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Read December 2017.
I had this book on my tbr pile for two years, before finally getting around to reading it.
This is actually a great little story, with promising characters and an interesting concept. The story centres around the idea that life has evolved into two sets of beings, divided by blood - red or silver. The Silvers are the ruling class and possess superpowers, and the Reds are the commoners, without powers of any kind.
Mare Barrow is a Red, with a life doomed to servitude, until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace and discovers that she may have dangerous powers after all.
There are echoes of The Hunger Games, The Selection and Divergent here, but can the series continue to deliver?
