I think I should call my bookshelves my TBR bookshelves. Most of these books […]

Posted June 20, 2019 by Emma in Discussion Post, LGBTQ+, Summer Reading, YA / 1 Comment

So this is a first for me to write a post on LGBTQ+ books. It’s come to my attention I haven’t read enough of them! Why you might ask? I guess as a reader I’ve been stuck in my ways a bit with what genre books I read. Before I was blogger I used to read cute contemporary romances this was like 12 years ago. Then as a blogger I’ve developed my love for fantasy and I can’t stop reading them. Then there is me not only a reader but a librarian too. My pupil librarians love anything I read […]

New Feature – Let’s Talk YA…

Posted April 12, 2019 by Emma in Blog, Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Holly Bourne, Let's Talk Books, UKYA / 15 Comments

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 […]
