Book Review | Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell

Posted July 8, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review, Middle Grade / 0 Comments

Happy Wednesday my lovely bookworms. Today I’m bringing you a special review. It’s strange you don’t usually see a review of a middle grade, children’s book as I’m predominantly YA and fantasy on my blog. But this book has changed my mind and here’s why. My Review This review was featured on my Instagram here as part of the Tandem Collective Rooftoppers Readalong, but I wanted to expand a little on my blog as this book truly appreciated books in a whole new way. I was so excited, I didn’t know what to expect to be honest from this book! […]

My Top 5 Favourite Books of 2020 so far – the year of sequels and debuts!

Posted July 6, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book List, Booked-In, Favourites / 4 Comments

Hello my lovely readers, so it’s July, over half way throughout the year. It certainly hasn’t been a great start to 2020 with the current situation but that hasn’t stopped me from reading. If anything it’s what I needed, books to escape into away from this reality. I’ve read some amazing books and I’m not the quickest of readers so rather than list loads, I thought I would list my top 5 from the beginning of 2020. So let’s forget the world right now and focus on my favourite books of the year so far especially during Booked-In. Top 5 […]

June Monthly Wrap-Up

Posted July 2, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 6 Comments

Hey everyone, once again the classic phrase – I can’t believe it’s July already! Which means it’s another monthly wrap-up post. I think this month I’m super excited by the start of the month, I feel it’s like a do-over of June as it was a pretty terrible month both reading and also not as active on here as I hoped. All these plans at the beginning of last month literally went out the window. I couldn’t read until the very last few days of the month. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been in a reading slump […]

Hello my lovely readers, today I’m really excited to be part of the blog tour for Love on the Main Stage by S.A. Domingo. As I mentioned in my previous post, I read her debut book Love, Secret Santa and simply adored it. Guess What!? I loved this one too. As part of the blog tour I’m sharing my review and my festival playlist. It’s a bit of a mix, but I sort listed to a lot of this whilst reading the book. THIS BOOK GOT ME OUT OF MY READING SLUMP! I was excited that after a month of […]

It’s Friday – What are you reading?

Posted June 26, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Contemporary, Music, Summer Reading / 2 Comments

Hello my lovely bookworms. The last couple of days has been scorching in the UK and I like many others hate it. It’s certainly not a nice heat, sticky and no sleep comes to mind. I’ve also been in a reading slump since the beginning of the June. But yesterday because I couldn’t sleep I opened a book, and I read. I loved it! So who knew a heatwave could cure a reading slump. Today would usually be a Let’s Talk Books post and in a way it still is. But I thought I would let you know what I’m […]

Top 5 Books I would love to read for the first time again

Posted June 24, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book List, Booked-In, Bookish Post, Favourite Author / 2 Comments

Hello my bookish friends. I didn’t post on Monday as I was pretty knackered from building my bookcase on Sunday. So today I’m bring you another one of my famous top 5 lists as parted of my Booked-In series. This time I’m revisiting and reminiscing some old favourites, books I wish I could open that book for the first time again and be immersed into the world. These books opened a whole new world of literature for me. There is so many books out there it can be overwhelming. So I’m going back to where my reading really began for […]

Happy Friday my fellow bookworms. I’m super excited for the weekend. Guess who has bought her first proper bookcase!? ME!

A book tag created by us! I’m so excited as I always wanted to create one and we […]

Happy Monday my lovely readers! I’m back, I kind of had a bit of a blogging break the last week as I just needed the time for me. I haven’t been reading very much these days and had no enthusiasm to blog. Today I’m ready to get back into the swing of blogging again. I’m bringing you a review of a kick-ass feminist fantasy novel. I loved it and the sequel is coming out next month. So I hope you enjoy it. My Review At a very young age, Caledonia was sent on her first mission by her […]
