Posted August 12, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review, Favourite Author, Favourites / 2 Comments

Happy Wednesday my bookish friends. Yesterday I finished my most anticipated read in like forever!! I’ve been waiting a long time for this book so my excitement for Midnight Sun was off the charts. So here is my spoiler free review and my extreme fangirling over the fifth book in the Twilight Saga. My Review This book, this series is what really started my love of reading and YA, and the dark fantasy genre. It was the highlight of my teenage years, and when I heard this book was finally coming out, I don’t think I’ve felt such genuine […]

July Monthly Wrap-Up

Posted August 3, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up / 6 Comments

Happy Monday my lovely readers. It’s August, where is time going?! 2020 is just whizzing away, sometimes I can’t seem to catch up especially as I write another monthly wrap-up for July. In June I suffered the reading slump, which I hated immensely but July took a turn for the best and I got my reading mojo back. Yay! It’s another month, I always feel like it’s a do over of reading and choosing my books for the month. I love it. The middle of July also saw the beginning of my summer holidays as I work in a school.

Book Review | The Beautiful by Renée Ahdieh

Posted July 30, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review / 4 Comments

Happy Thursday my lovely readers. Today I’m bringing you a review of dark fantasy that I simply loved. Lately I’ve been into vampires books as a whole, with Midnight Sun and rewatching Discovery of Witches. Steph from Bookslovereaders recommended me this for a while that it was about time I read it. Plus the sequel The Damned has just been released which I will need to read ASAP. So enough of my rambling, let head onto the review. My Review The days of vampire books has returned and it’s like the inner teenager in me who loved Twilight and the beginnings […]

Book Review | Five Little Liars by Amanda K. Morgan

Posted July 17, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review / 2 Comments

Hello my lovely bookworms. It’s Friday!!!! It’s also officially the last day of term for the summer break for 6 weeks!! Yay! It will feel strange that’s for sure. Today’s book review is a book I’ve been talking about this book on social media and also in my recent posts as well. I can safely say that thrillers/mysteries really do get you out of a reading slump properly. It’s the thrill, you can’t get enough of it. My Review I went into this book having only the expectation of – ‘for fans of Karen McManus’. I loved her books, she […]

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! […]

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 […]
