Happy Friday my lovely bookworms. It’s the end of the week and the first week of June already. Today’s is another Let’s Talk Books, a feature I cohost with Emily A Short Book Lover. A weekly series where we are highlighting particular books (Teen/YA/ Adult etc) coming out during this time, that we will review, or get bookish content from authors and so much more. Today’s post for me is all about books that I’m looking forward to their release and to reading. I decided to pick a few books that I think might not be on your radar that […]

May Monthly Wrap-Up

Posted June 3, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 0 Comments

Happy Wednesday my lovely readers. Once again another month has gone by. You would think in lockdown it would go slowly but if I’m honest it’s gone really fast. I think it’s getting into a routine that really helps, the world has suddenly become a weird sort of normal, wouldn’t you agree. But I have to say I am very excited at the prospect of my local Costa or Pret opening for takeaway this week, I have to say. I know, lockdown priorities. Once again, this month I hosted a readathon with Steph for Bookslovereaders and read 3 books during […]

Hello my lovely readers. In the UK it’s Bank Holiday Monday and half-term so I hope your all enjoying it and the weather. It’s meant to be lovely and sunny. I hope.

Happy Friday my lovely bookworms, it’s nearly the bank holiday week and half-term for many of us. It feels kind of strange doesn’t it?!

Book Review | Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales

Posted May 18, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review, LGBTQ+, YA / 0 Comments

Hello my lovely readers, today I’m sharing my review of Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales. ‘Tell me more, tell me more how good is this book?” I’m sorry I couldn’t resist starting my review in a sing song of Grease. After all it is a queer imagining of Grease, so I couldn’t not. It might not be the last either. I also happened to have watched Grease fairly recently so I was so up for this. My Review ‘I met a guy crazy for me and he met a boy as cute as can be.’ Ollie’s family changes their […]

Posted May 1, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 0 Comments

Happy Friday my bookish friends. As I write this the brief sun of the day on Thursday is fading and it’s suddenly getting gloomy. But my blog hates gloomy – it loves colour so let’s forget about the rain for a minute. I missed my wrap-up post last month, I guess I got swamped with life in lockdown. But since then I’ve had a new blog series and my blog hasn’t seen so many visitors and views before and I’m really happy. I’ve also read over double the amount of books I usually read, and I’m stoked about that. Whilst […]

Hello my bookish friends. Half way through the week and do I have a cracker of a review for you. If you follow me on social media Twitter or Instagram, then you know this is my hotly anticipated read of 2020. It won’t be the last time I will mention this book either.

This is a sequel like no other. I don’t say that […]
