Hello my lovely readers. Happy Thursday evening – I hope everyone is staying cool. I am so very glad it’s the weekend tomorrow! Today I thought I would bring you a series review for a change. The last month or so I have devoured the Heartstopper series both reading them then watching them and then reading them so more. I have absolutely loved it so so much and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long. Most of you would have read Heartstopper I’m sure, I felt like I was the last one in the world that hadn’t read them.

Happy Sunday evening my lovely readers. It’s been another hot minute these days since back to work from Easter Holidays. But there is only another week left and it’s May half term and a very lovely long weekend for most of you in the UK. Woohoo. I haven’t been able to read much until this week really but it also means I may have been a little late to a blog tour by The Write Reads. Sorry Dave. So today I’m bring you a spotlight post of a book I was so so excited to read, The Knave of Secrets […]

Happy Weekend my lovely readers. It’s been a week since my last post – [Insert post] – it’s been quite a busy week at work and lots of travel disruptuon as well so I’ve been getting home pretty late and super tired. But I’m here today and that’s the main thing. Today I’m bringing you my first (oh dear) wrap up of the 2022! I can’t believe I haven’t done one but I think it’s largely down to not reading much at all and I felt it wasn’t worth it. As you can see from the title of my post […]

Book Review – Truth or Dare by Sophie McKenzie

Posted April 27, 2022 by Emma in 2022 Books, Book Review, Bookish Post, Mystery, Thriller, UKYA, YA / 1 Comment

Welcome welcome, as you can see I am catching up with a lot of reviews on my blog at the moment. This particular book got me out of a reading funk that I had been in for about 3 weeks. So let’s get straight onto the review shall we? But first here is a little bit more about the book. My Thoughts CAWPILE – 8.14 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s been a while since I read a Sophie McKenzie book – the last one being Sweetfreak a good few years ago. Both times are when I have met Sophie as part of […]

Blog Tour – Spotlight | Mark My Words by Muhammad Khan

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 […]

Happy Sunday evening my lovelies, today I’m excited to be part of The Write Reads – Ultimate Blog Tour for a sequel to The Beast and the Bethany, Revenge of the Beast by Jack Meggitt-Phillips. Yesterday was my stop and huge apologies for missing out Dave, at the moment my reading is extremely slow with work and home but I have both books to read and I have heard so much about these books and how great they are. So without further ado here is a little bit more about the book. Thank you to Dave and The Write Reads […]

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 […]
