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 […]

Posted March 3, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, 5 Stars, Blog Tour, Book Review, Contemporary, Family, Favourites, Ink Road / 2 Comments

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 […]

BOOK REVIEW | The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith

Posted February 21, 2020 by Emma in Book Review, Fantasy Feb, Librarian / 5 Comments

Happy Friday, my bookish friends. It’s been a while since I reviewed a book hasn’t it?! I’m sorry, I finally finished my first book for February and it was amazing, despite it taking me over 2 weeks to read it, (I blame work for that.) I don’t want my slow reading to takeaway the fact that it was a brilliant read. This will probably be the only review for Fantasy Feb – boo! But it’s a cracking book that you should all read. My Review When I got the email about The Library of the Unwritten, I knew it was […]

My first thriller of 2020 and it certainly won’t be my last. Lately my taste in books is changing. YA will forever be my got to for escape. But ever since I’ve read books by Riley Sager I seem to dipping into adult thrillers. I like this new side of my reading. I love how I’m totally surprised by what I’m reading and this book is no exception of that. We follow Beth, a mum of two teenagers. She was best friends with Flora, but suddenly 12 years ago, they spilt, never to be seen ago. To Beth it stemmed from […]
