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. I know, it’s crazy how work has been that I’ve just been too tired too read. So I want to read a few books off my TBR that I’ve received over the last couple of 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 […]

Hi Everyone, Happy Monday! Well I hope it’s a happy one for you. I love starting the week off with promoting one of my anticipated reads of this year – WILDER GIRLS by Rory Power.

Hello my bookish friends! The first month of 2020 is over! How can that be!? It did go on for a while I have to say, but then the last week just went by so quickly.

Planning for World Book Day and Harry Potter Book Night, honestly it never stops. It was also a month of new year goals. Mine were to read and blog more. I’ve done one […]

Hello Everyone, I’m back from my Christmas break yesterday and I had such an an amazing time with my family. It was also more like a Christmas Reading Retreat too.

It was so nice being totally away from my social media and blog for 5 straight days that I feel amazing in myself and ready to plan 2020 with lots more books and lots more blog posts – I think […]

Hello my bookish friends! I borrowed this idea from Emily (A Short Book Lover) who regularly does this feature to catch up on her reviews. As we are nearing the end of the year I’m trying to catch up on any reviews I missed throughout the year. Today I’m bringing two amazing YA contemporary books that I read back in the summer. During that time I was loving reading but my blogging took a bit of a break. So I apologise for taking so long in reviewing these books. So onto the mini reviews. In the first few chapters, Meg […]

You might have seen from my post last week that I was taking part in the Global #Cursebreakers Readalong . It is my first time reading it if you can believe that. Why I didn’t get on this fandom this year was the hype and I’ve really been trying to be mood reader too. Now was the time, the perfect season and cosy nights to just to escape into Emberfall. Right now, as I’m writing this, I’ve just finished it and I’m a little hangover from it. In once sense I want to continue to A Heart So Fierce and […]
