Posted August 8, 2022 by Emma in 2022 Books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, YA / 0 Comments

Happy August my friends! I can’t believe how quickly this year is going and I’m on my summer holidays so I know that it will fly by – it always does then we’ll be in September and talking about Christmas very soon. The last time I did a wrap up post it was April and I said I had the best reading month. Well I’ve beaten that and I’m so happy. I think with the horrible UK heatwave a few weeks ago, all I did was read as I was too hot to sleep. I would also say that this […]

Hello my lovely readers. Happy Thursday evening – I hope everyone is staying cool. I am so very glad it’s the weekend tomorrow! Today I thought I would bring you a series review for a change. The last month or so I have devoured the Heartstopper series both reading them then watching them and then reading them so more. I have absolutely loved it so so much and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long. Most of you would have read Heartstopper I’m sure, I felt like I was the last one in the world that hadn’t read them. […]

So today I’m bring you a spotlight post of a book I was so so excited to read, The Knave of Secrets […]

Happy Weekend my lovely readers. It’s been a week since my last post – [Insert post] – it’s been quite a busy week at work and lots of travel disruptuon as well so I’ve been getting home pretty late and super tired. But I’m here today and that’s the main thing. Today I’m bringing you my first (oh dear) wrap up of the 2022! I can’t believe I haven’t done one but I think it’s largely down to not reading much at all and I felt it wasn’t worth it. As you can see from the title of my post […]

Welcome welcome, as you can see I am catching up with a lot of reviews on my blog at the moment. This particular book got me out of a reading funk that I had been in for about 3 weeks. So let’s get straight onto the review shall we? But first here is a little bit more about the book. My Thoughts CAWPILE – 8.14 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s been a while since I read a Sophie McKenzie book – the last one being Sweetfreak a good few years ago. Both times are when I have met Sophie as part of […]

Posted April 22, 2022 by Emma in Blog, Book List, Bookish Post, Favourites / 4 Comments

Happy Friday my fellow bookworms. This post was semi written around the time of World Book Day. They celebrated 25 years this year and as a librarian I celebrated in style – dressed as my favourite character which was Bella from Twilight. Anyways the theme was ‘You are a Reader’ and it got my thinking about my reading journey and the books that have shaped me. I’ve decided to go in chronological order from when I was toddler, too now in 5 blog posts. I really hope you enjoy this post, I even used the original covers that I had […]
