Hello my lovely readers, it’s a new week and the last week of February already. How can that be? Today I’m really excited to be kicking off the blog tour for the long awaited new novel by Muhammad Khan, Mark My Words. This was inevitably delayed the last year so I’m really excited to finally get to read it. I first read Kick the Moon a few years ago and I loved it, such a unique writing style and voice of this generation of YA. His books need to be read more that’s for sure. If you want to read […]

Book Review | The Ivory Key by Akshaya Raman

Posted January 24, 2022 by Emma in 2022 Books, 5 Stars, Book Review, Fantasy, Magic, YA / 0 Comments

My first book of 2022 is a five star read! What a way to kick off this new year! I went into this book completely blind and I love when you have no expectations and it blows you away. This particular fantasy book reminded of another by the same publisher Thorn by Intisar Khanai and I would say if you enjoyed that, you’ll love this and vice versa. I had the exact same feels for both books, so that must be saying something. The Ivory Key follows four siblings, Via, Ronak, Rita and Kaleb. Each of the have gone their […]

My 2022 Bookish Intentions

Posted January 17, 2022 by Emma in 2022 Books, Bookish Post, Wrap-Up / 2 Comments

Happy Monday my lovely readers. The best thing about the start of a new year is setting yourself new goals, new bookish intentions. Every year I make them and every year I generally fail, last year epically apart from actually passing my Goodreads goal which I lowered. So yay for that, I’m quite pleased about that. But this year feels like a special year when everything comes together, with a new house, new business comes new responsibilities and this year is all about fitting them in this new chapter of my life. This time last year I did these intentions […]

First of all I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! It’s 2022 and I honestly don’t know where 2021 has been. I’m writing this post 3 months after my last one. Let’s just say for me 2021 I have been notoriously absent from the book world. It’s been probably been the worst book blogging and books read year but believe me there has been plenty going on that has kept me occupied. I thought I would give you a bit of a life update I guess. The last time I did that was August and since then […]
