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 […]

Hello Everyone, I’m back from my Christmas break yesterday and I had such an an amazing time with my family. It was also more like a Christmas Reading Retreat too.

It was so nice being totally away from my social media and blog for 5 straight days that I feel amazing in myself and ready to plan 2020 with lots more books and lots more blog posts – I think […]

Posted September 4, 2019 by Emma in 2019 Books, 5 Stars, Book Review, YA / 0 Comments

American Royals has everything! Secrets, Scandal, Forbidden Love, Duty and Loyalty. It’s Gossip Girl meets the Royal Family. It’s a delicious book that you can’t get enough of.

Hello Book Friends, Today I’m back at work, after 6 wonderful weeks off I’m going to really miss the free time. But I love my job and that’s the main thing. I have quite a few inset days coming up this week so my brain will probably fried. 😂 Last month’s reading was some of my best in a while, with hot days and holidays it’s really helped. I think September won’t be as a good but we’ll see how I go. This week I’m also going to launch my new Librarian feature which I’m really excited to share. And […]

Review – Under A Dancing Star by Laura Wood

Posted August 28, 2019 by Emma in 2019 Books, 5 Stars, Book Review, Historical / 1 Comment

Hello my Book Friends, I’m still catching up on those book reviews so here is one I read on holiday. It was a last minute addition to my suitcase and boy was that the best decision I made. It’s been a long time since I’ve read something like this, a YA historical novel and this has to be one of the best I’ve ever read. “The end of the Beginning…” Living in 20th Century, Beatrice is stuck with her future, destined to marry and take over her family’s home as her parents keep reminding her. But Bea (to my delight) isn’t […]

Hi Everyone, Today I’m really excited to be part of the international blog tour of THE KINGDOM by Jess Rothenberg, I’m posting my review today and it’s a belter. If you need a recommendation this summer then look no further than this book. It is truly something. First of all, isn’t the cover gorgeous.?! Out of both of the covers, our is literally glowing and I love it, although it’s a UK cover so I will be a tiny bit biased. This was book I wasn’t sure what to expect, I had no expectations it was a book that I […]
