This week’s author is Non Pratt and her book Trouble. I was reminded by this book […]

New Feature – Let’s Talk YA…

New Feature – Let’s Talk YA…

So ages ago I posted a tweet about my current read which was Enchantée at the time and this particular post created such a conversation I loved it.  Then I did a poll on Twitter on how we react to some of our posts on our blogs or twitter whether we just Like/RT or Comment and the majority was the first.

So Emily from A Short Book Lover and I were talking so we thought we might […]

Rumi Seto spends a lot of time worrying she doesn’t have the answers to everything. What to eat, where to go, whom to love. But there is one thing she is absolutely sure of—she wants to spend the rest of her life writing music with her […]
