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 […]

April Monthly Wrap-up – I read more books edition!

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 lovely readers, it’s a new week and soon to be a new month. This is part 2 of a similar post I did last month, Booked-In | My Top Releases this Spring – Part 1 . So today I thought I would bring all the YA and Fantasy Releases that I’m looking forward in end of April/May. I have to say that books have been a lifesaver during this lockdown, so I can’t wait to discover and promote loads more books. Authors need the support now more than ever so don’t forget to order online with Amazon, Book […]

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. So I won’t say anymore until my review, as I’m bursting to tell you all about it. My Review With mild spoilers (sorry) Bloody hell! It broke me! It killed me! (not literally) but prepared though. This is a sequel like no other. I don’t say that […]

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 […]

February Monthly Wrap-Up

Posted March 11, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 0 Comments

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 […]
