Hello my lovely readers, today I’m really excited to be part of the blog tour for Love on the Main Stage by S.A. Domingo. As I mentioned in my previous post, I read her debut book Love, Secret Santa and simply adored it. Guess What!? I loved this one too. As part of the blog tour I’m sharing my review and my festival playlist. It’s a bit of a mix, but I sort listed to a lot of this whilst reading the book. THIS BOOK GOT ME OUT OF MY READING SLUMP! I was excited that after a month of […]

Posted June 26, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Contemporary, Music, Summer Reading / 2 Comments

Hello my lovely bookworms. The last couple of days has been scorching in the UK and I like many others hate it. It’s certainly not a nice heat, sticky and no sleep comes to mind. I’ve also been in a reading slump since the beginning of the June. But yesterday because I couldn’t sleep I opened a book, and I read. I loved it! So who knew a heatwave could cure a reading slump. Today would usually be a Let’s Talk Books post and in a way it still is. But I thought I would let you know what I’m […]

Hi Everyone, It’s been a long time since I’ve done some book reviews, I have quite a few to catch up on, some going back to May. 🙊 Today I bring you two very different but perfect Summer YA reads.

Well your in for a treat. I loved this book, whilst it had elements of that finding your talent or where you fit in, with the […]

Hi Everyone, Today I’m ending the blog tour for Vanessa Jones’ debut book SING Like No One is Listening. I’ve nearly finished the book. (I know last minute reading, but work has been crazy so it was a lot later than I thought I would be reading it.) It’s such a great read and rather than doing a mini review of what I read I will be doing a few review this weekend. It’s such a feel good and easy read, perfect for sunny reading in the UK and just getting lost in some musical talent. Vanessa was very kind […]

Today I’m so excited to be part of Summer Bird Blue blog tour. This is my first book by Akemi and I absolutely adored it. It’s an emotional but beautiful book, about love, sisters, grief, friendship, support and family. Before I get to my review, here is a little bit more about the book. Rumi Seto spends a lot of time worrying she doesn’t have the answers to everything. What to eat, where to go, whom to love. But there is one thing she is absolutely sure of—she wants to spend the rest of her life writing music with her […]
