Hi Everyone! I’m finally getting round to doing my Wrap-up of April and we are well and truly into May now. It was this time last month when I was looking forward to my holiday and now it’s over. However, now we are starting to plan our next adventure. Easter holidays are over and I’m back to work in the last term. Crazy! April has been a very successful month for me both on the blog and reading. It was a month that I really enjoyed every single book. I also found TWO favourite books of the year too! I’m […]

Emily from A Short Book Lover and I have created a weekly feature called Let’s Talk YA. – a weekly feature simply to just share and talk about the books you love. So our posts will all be centered around amazing UKYA authors. You can see the pattern here that a lot of the author and books I’m picking are the ones that really left an impression on me and are likely to be their first book, their debut that set them on that journey. This week’s author is Non Pratt and her book Trouble. I was reminded by this book […]

Emily from A Short Book Lover and I have created a weekly feature called Let’s Talk YA. – a weekly feature simply to just share and talk about the books you love. So our posts will all be centered around amazing UKYA authors. So continuing with our feature, this week’s author is Lisa Heathfield and the first book I absolutely loved emotionally was Paper Butterflies. I picked this book today because I’m currently reading something of the same genre, and it reminded me of when I first really discovered such emotional and harrowing stories. I read this book at the beginning […]

New Feature – Let’s Talk YA…

So ages ago I posted a tweet about my current read which was Enchantée at the time and this particular post created such a conversation I loved it. Then I did a poll on Twitter on how we react to some of our posts on our blogs or twitter whether we just Like/RT or Comment and the majority was the first. Which I think is good but there’s something about a conversation about your book, talking about it shares so much within the bookish community. So Emily from A Short Book Lover and I were talking so we thought we might […]

Hi Everyone, It’s offically spring time today! – I’m writing this on the 31st, I’m very prompt with my post to start off April which is great! I just read over my previous wrap-up post and my blogging plans went right out of the window this month. It’s end of term craziness which I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with, so I’ve just been exhausted at the end of the day. March is on the busiest month’s for a librarian with World Book Day, although everyday is WBD for us. I did go to a book event at […]
