Mini Book Review | The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Posted November 16, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Blog Tour, Book Review, YA / 1 Comment

Hello my lovely readers and welcome to my first review in months I think. Whoops. The last few months I’ve really struggled with the motivation to read, hence the lack of review posts. But this particular book that I’m writing my review for took me 3 weeks or so to read and a further month to review as I really did have a blogging break. But felt I really needed to review it. So before I go into my review I wanted to say that whilst it took me that long to read, it didn’t in any way effect my […]

Hello my lovely readers. I abandoned you again. Back to work and more tired again. Ha. But I’m hoping to kick my ass into gear and actually get myself organised again. Stay tuned for the relaunch of the blog series Booked-In that I started during the original lockdown. So today I wanted to commemorate Remembrance Day/Armistice Day and all those that fought and died in the armed forces in the line of duty. I decided to recommend by books that are red which is obviously the colour of the Poppy. Each of these books are read and I absolutely loved […]

June Monthly Wrap-Up

Posted July 2, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 6 Comments

Hey everyone, once again the classic phrase – I can’t believe it’s July already! Which means it’s another monthly wrap-up post. I think this month I’m super excited by the start of the month, I feel it’s like a do-over of June as it was a pretty terrible month both reading and also not as active on here as I hoped. All these plans at the beginning of last month literally went out the window. I couldn’t read until the very last few days of the month. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been in a reading slump […]

Happy Monday my lovely readers! I’m back, I kind of had a bit of a blogging break the last week as I just needed the time for me. I haven’t been reading very much these days and had no enthusiasm to blog. Today I’m ready to get back into the swing of blogging again. I’m bringing you a review of a kick-ass feminist fantasy novel. I loved it and the sequel is coming out next month. So I hope you enjoy it.
