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.

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 […]

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 […]
