Happy Monday my lovely readers! Hope you’re all well. Today I’m bringing you the first review of 2021 and also my first 5 star read of 2021. What a way to start the year hey?! So I’m just going to head straight into the review. So before my review, here is a little bit more about the book. My Review Being a huge fan of Kate a Liz’s debut series, The Witch’s Kiss trilogy, I was so excited for another series fantasy series. The Witch’s Kiss series is one don’t usually talk about, it was very early on in my […]

Hello my lovely readers. I abandoned you again. Back to work and more tired again. Ha. But I’m hoping to kick my ass into gear and actually get myself organised again. Stay tuned for the relaunch of the blog series Booked-In that I started during the original lockdown. So today I wanted to commemorate Remembrance Day/Armistice Day and all those that fought and died in the armed forces in the line of duty. I decided to recommend by books that are red which is obviously the colour of the Poppy. Each of these books are read and I absolutely loved […]

Book Review | Eve of Man by Giovanna & Tom Fletcher

Posted May 6, 2020 by Emma in 2018 Books, 5 Stars, Book Review, Dystopian, UKYA / 5 Comments

Happy Wednesday my lovely readers. Today I’m sharing my review of a reread. I didn’t review the first time round as I was on a blogging slump. But nothing is stopping me now. Two years ago I read this book. Last month the long awaited sequel, The Eve Illusion was released. Whilst I remember the story, I really wanted to go back to the world they created so when I get to the sequel it would be like I never left. My Review So when you see two famous people writing a book, what’s your first impression?! Reading this a […]

Blog Tour Review – Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson

Posted May 2, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, 5 Stars, Blog Tour, Book Review, Mystery, UKYA / 0 Comments

Hello my bookish friends and fellow detectives too! A first for a Saturday post that’s for sure. Today Pip is once again taking over my blog for Part 2 of the Good Girl, Bad Blood blog tour. All week I’ve been reading this very book and today I finally put into words how amazing this book is… I have been giving subtle hints all week as well. My Review “Mysteries always seem to find their way to you, don’t they?” I’ve hinted all week but whilst both books are 5 stars, Good Girl, Bad Blood is even better than […]

Book Review | VENOM by Bex Hogan

Posted April 15, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, 5 Stars, Bex Hogan, Book Review, UKYA, YA / 3 Comments

Hello my bookish friends. Half way through the week and do I have a cracker of a review for you. If you follow me on social media Twitter or Instagram, then you know this is my hotly anticipated read of 2020. It won’t be the last time I will mention this book either. So I won’t say anymore until my review, as I’m bursting to tell you all about it. My Review With mild spoilers (sorry) Bloody hell! It broke me! It killed me! (not literally) but prepared though. This is a sequel like no other. I don’t say that […]

Book Review | The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary

Posted March 27, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, 5 Stars, Adult Fiction, Book Review, Romance / 2 Comments

My favourite Romance of the year so far, why did I take so long to get to this book!? It certainly gave me all the feels and a book hangover. MY REVIEW So I guess it wouldn’t come as a huge surprise to a lot of people that I loved this book. I wasn’t oblivious to the book, I mean it was all over social media and at the time it didn’t float my boat, which would probably shock a lot of people. Until it came out in paperback a month or so ago and it was on offer in […]

ARC Book Review | Thorn by Intisar Khanini

Posted March 16, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, 5 Stars, Book Review, Fantasy, Favourites, YA / 0 Comments

So shall I start this review by saying it’s THE BEST YA FANTASY BOOK I’VE READ THIS YEAR! That’s on hell of a line to start off with but it’s true. I wasn’t expecting it, I admit, a complete surprise by Intisar’s debut novel is just phenomenal! It has everything and more in a fantasy and I honestly can’t wait to talk about it more. My Review Princess Alyrra is a pawn in her own future, she is known as for her brutal honesty and her mother hates it. The cruelty between her brother and her mother, she doesn’t stand […]

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends. Today I’m really excited to be part of the blog tour for Harley in the Sky. It’s one of my most anticipated reads this year. I discovered Akemi last year and she’s on my auto-buy/read list ever since. The only book I haven’t read is Starfish which I think will do sooner rather than later. My post is a review but before that here is a little bit more about the book. (Just on a side note, I haven’t totally finished the book yet due to work craziness last week with Ofsted so my reading […]
