BOOKED-IN | My top releases this Spring – Part 1

Posted March 30, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Booked-In, Bookish Post, LGBTQ+, Seasonal Reads, UKYA, YA / 2 Comments

Hello my bookish friends, happy Monday, hope you had a good weekend and you and your families are well. Back in January I started a new Seasonal Reads post where I spilt up all the most anticipated reads of the year in seasons. It’s Spring but also we are living in an upside down world where authors have books coming out and they struggling as they have no launch events. My first top tip in my Booked-In post was – PRE-ORDERING/ORDERING FROM WATERSTONES OR INDEPENDENT BOOK STORES TO DELIVER TO HOME. So this post is PART 1 as there is […]

ARC Book Review | Thorn by Intisar Khanini

Posted March 16, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, 5 Stars, Book Review, Fantasy, Favourites, YA / 0 Comments

So shall I start this review by saying it’s THE BEST YA FANTASY BOOK I’VE READ THIS YEAR! That’s on hell of a line to start off with but it’s true. I wasn’t expecting it, I admit, a complete surprise by Intisar’s debut novel is just phenomenal! It has everything and more in a fantasy and I honestly can’t wait to talk about it more. My Review Princess Alyrra is a pawn in her own future, she is known as for her brutal honesty and her mother hates it. The cruelty between her brother and her mother, she doesn’t stand […]

Hello dear readers, we are in the second week into March and my wrap-up of February has been a bit slow, so apologies for that. I guess I got about it with all of the blog tours last week and then thinking ‘should I still do one’ but my twitter response was Yes! So here it is. I wanted to do one as last month I did my Fantasy February and I really enjoyed it. I did some different and new posts, a review or two and loads of author guest posts with my new author series, In the Mind […]

Happy Friday my bookish friends! This week has been a really really long one so I’m ready for the end of today and the weekend as well. But with the weekend comes the end of February and the end of Fantasy Feb too. Today is the last feature post before my wrap up of the month and it’s with two of my favourite authors. I’ve met them and they are just so lovely and their books are amazing too. Today’s post is another one from my new author series called ‘In the Mind of an Author’ where I feature authors […]

In the Mind of an Author …is a new author series, where I bring some of my favourite authors talking about their journey being a writer, what goes through their mind when they are writing their book, the places they write and much more. It […]

Hello my bookish friends, I’m on half term! Yay! I’m so looking forward to catching up on my reading – especially a book that I’ve been reading for 2 weeks.

It’s just nice having a break and not worrying about work. Reading and Relaxing is what I need right now and I can’t wait! So today I thought I would showcase some of the […]
