Planning for World Book Day and Harry Potter Book Night, honestly it never stops. It was also a month of new year goals. Mine were to read and blog more. I’ve done one […]

So today I thought I would draw together all the ideas in this post and also talk about how I’m going to track my reading for 2020. Tracking your Reading […]

Book Review | A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer

Posted January 10, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review / 1 Comment

The sequel to ACSDAL! One thing I mentioned in all of the first book is that I wanted to more Grey and boy did I get that. It’s really hard to review without giving so much away in terms of spoilers if those who have or haven’t read the first book. I started this a good week and but before Christmas Eve but work was terrible so I really started it on Christmas Eve and I couldn’t put it down. It was finished at the end of Christmas Day. An unputtadownable series. I really hope this review doesn’t become a […]
