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 […]

Posted January 27, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Adult Fiction, Book Review, Psychological Thriller, Thriller / 0 Comments

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 […]

Book Review | A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer

Posted January 10, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review / 1 Comment

The sequel to ACSDAL! One thing I mentioned in all of the first book is that I wanted to more Grey and boy did I get that. It’s really hard to review without giving so much away in terms of spoilers if those who have or haven’t read the first book. I started this a good week and but before Christmas Eve but work was terrible so I really started it on Christmas Eve and I couldn’t put it down. It was finished at the end of Christmas Day. An unputtadownable series. I really hope this review doesn’t become a […]

MINI-REVIEW MONDAY | Take a Chance on Me by Beth Garrod and No Big Deal by Bethany Rutter

Posted December 16, 2019 by Emma in 2019 Books, Book Review, UKYA, YA / 0 Comments

Hello my bookish friends! I borrowed this idea from Emily (A Short Book Lover) who regularly does this feature to catch up on her reviews. As we are nearing the end of the year I’m trying to catch up on any reviews I missed throughout the year. Today I’m bringing two amazing YA contemporary books that I read back in the summer. During that time I was loving reading but my blogging took a bit of a break. So I apologise for taking so long in reviewing these books. So onto the mini reviews. In the first few chapters, Meg […]

BOOK REVIEW | A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

Posted November 28, 2019 by Emma in 2019 Books, Book Review, Fantasy, Favourite Author, Featured, YA / 1 Comment

You might have seen from my post last week that I was taking part in the Global #Cursebreakers Readalong . It is my first time reading it if you can believe that. Why I didn’t get on this fandom this year was the hype and I’ve really been trying to be mood reader too. Now was the time, the perfect season and cosy nights to just to escape into Emberfall. Right now, as I’m writing this, I’ve just finished it and I’m a little hangover from it. In once sense I want to continue to A Heart So Fierce and […]

Hi Everyone, Happy Monday it’s been a while since I last written a review, I think I’ve got a bit rusty. I have to admit something as well…I read this back at the end of May and I’m only reviewing it now. But the amazing thing about this book is that I still remember it. Doesn’t that tell you something?! I hope you enjoy my review and let me know if you’ve read it or any amazing murder mysteries I should read. So I’m going to admit something here. I read this back at the end of May and I’m […]
