Book Review | Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales

Posted May 18, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review, LGBTQ+, YA / 0 Comments

Hello my lovely readers, today I’m sharing my review of Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales. ‘Tell me more, tell me more how good is this book?” I’m sorry I couldn’t resist starting my review in a sing song of Grease. After all it is a queer imagining of Grease, so I couldn’t not. It might not be the last either. I also happened to have watched Grease fairly recently so I was so up for this. My Review ‘I met a guy crazy for me and he met a boy as cute as can be.’ Ollie’s family changes their […]

Happy Friday my lovelies! Today myself and Emily from A Short Book Lover, are back with Let’s Talk Books. Together we’ve created list of all of the books coming out and going in release order. Let’s Talk Books, formerly Let’s Talk YA, is a weekly series where we are highlighting particular books (Teen/YA/ Adult etc) coming out during this time, we will review, or get bookish content from authors and so much more. We will then start to focus on books that are maybe underrated in the future and build a conversation about it. It’s all very exciting and we […]

Hello my bookish friends. Today I’m really excited to be part the #UltimateBlogTour by TheWritesReads for the haunting and chilling horror YA, Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis. I’m not going to say any more apart from here is my review and a little bit more about the book. My Review Who doesn’t love a good horror movie?! I admit that it wasn’t until my boyfriend that I enjoy more horror films. Favourites include Resident Evil, or any good Zombie movies, and A Quiet Place at the moment. But what about reading them, where do you stand? So Harrow Lake is […]

Book Review | Eve of Man by Giovanna & Tom Fletcher

Posted May 6, 2020 by Emma in 2018 Books, 5 Stars, Book Review, Dystopian, UKYA / 5 Comments

Happy Wednesday my lovely readers. Today I’m sharing my review of a reread. I didn’t review the first time round as I was on a blogging slump. But nothing is stopping me now. Two years ago I read this book. Last month the long awaited sequel, The Eve Illusion was released. Whilst I remember the story, I really wanted to go back to the world they created so when I get to the sequel it would be like I never left. My Review So when you see two famous people writing a book, what’s your first impression?! Reading this a […]

Discussion | How I Organise my Reading Journal

Posted May 4, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 5 Comments

Hello my lovely readers. Today I thought I would do a discussion post on my Reading Journal, which I mentioned in my How to track your reading post back in January. I wanted to show you my progress with my reading journal and the array of pages I’ve created. Last year, if you remember I started a bookish bullet journal. It was more of novelty in the first couple of months and it took quite a lot of time. I really wanted to try again and I saw Vicky’s from What Vicky Read post on her Reading Journal and she inspired […]

Blog Tour Review – Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson

Posted May 2, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, 5 Stars, Blog Tour, Book Review, Mystery, UKYA / 0 Comments

Hello my bookish friends and fellow detectives too! A first for a Saturday post that’s for sure. Today Pip is once again taking over my blog for Part 2 of the Good Girl, Bad Blood blog tour. All week I’ve been reading this very book and today I finally put into words how amazing this book is… I have been giving subtle hints all week as well. My Review “Mysteries always seem to find their way to you, don’t they?” I’ve hinted all week but whilst both books are 5 stars, Good Girl, Bad Blood is even better than […]

Posted May 1, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 0 Comments

Happy Friday my bookish friends. As I write this the brief sun of the day on Thursday is fading and it’s suddenly getting gloomy. But my blog hates gloomy – it loves colour so let’s forget about the rain for a minute. I missed my wrap-up post last month, I guess I got swamped with life in lockdown. But since then I’ve had a new blog series and my blog hasn’t seen so many visitors and views before and I’m really happy. I’ve also read over double the amount of books I usually read, and I’m stoked about that. Whilst […]
