Happy Friday my lovely readers. Let’s start the bank holiday weekend with an epic reveal. Today I’m so so excited to share an exclusive chapter reveal of one of my favourite books of the year. I was very lucky to have received a super early, pre-proof copy of A.Connor’s new YA Thriller, Find Me After. Below is a bit more about the book.

Where do you go when you're not quite gone?
After suffering an epileptic seizure, Kyle finds himself in a world that looks like ours but where nothing feels the same. This is the Stillness: an eerie, liminal alternative reality populated by those who are caught between life and death.

Here, he meets his real-world crush, Farah, who is also unconscious back home. But as they get to know each other in the Stillness, they must face the possibility of forgetting each other in the real world. The way back to life is fraught with danger, and time, for both of them, is running out.

I am partnering with Scholastic UK, to bring you the first chapter of the book to celebrate National Epilepsy Week. In one of his epileptic seizures, Kyle realizes that he has the ability to travel to The Stillness, an eerie dimension populated by those who are between life and death. There he meets his real-world crush, Farah, who is in a coma back home.

If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that I talk about A.Connors debut book The Girl that Broke the Sea A LOT. Check my review out here. Find Me After is another incredibly compelling book that I couldn’t put down. I read and devoured this book and it’s a new favourite of the year. Imaginative and hauntingly real. Inspired by true experience. A page turner. Still to this day it gives me goosebumps.

If that doesn’t convince you, then the first chapter below might…

Book Review | Little Bang by Kelly McCaughrain

Book Review | Little Bang by Kelly McCaughrain

Hello my lovely readers. I am about to review the first book to make me cry of 2024 and my second 5 star read. I had a glorious glowing book hangover not in a bad way and it took me a while to really process it. 05/01/2023 – Only 17 pages in and already the main characters Sid and Mel, remind me a bit of 10 Things I Hate About You. Especially Sid specifically I think. I’m just getting that vibe and I love it. 10/01/2024 – Well what a book. I’m still crying… that was not what I expected […]

Book Review | Influential by Amara Sage

Hello my fellow readers, long time no post. Before I head on to my review of this brilliant book I just wanted to update you on my MIA from the blog. The last two months I’ve been unwell, one thing after another, flu and such and it’s taken me a while to bounce back to normal. To get back to reading, to blogging to really get my energy back. I think I suffered from massive burn out at work, But I’m typing this with the sea in front of me whilst I’m on holiday, relaxing and just feeling refreshed I […]

My Top Ten Books of 2020

My Top Ten Books of 2020

It’s a new year my lovely readers. Be 2020 and welcome 2021! I’m writing this with Miss Congeniality on New Year’s Day and I reliving my Top Ten Books of 2020! Last year, wasn’t my finest year for reading. But I still read some amazing literature from Children’s to Adult. I felt last year I really read outside of my comfort zone, not too much but just enough to be comfortable in reading different genres. I read some fantastic middle grade books to fluffy, contemporary adult fiction. After each of my suggestion I will add a reason why it’s my favourite […]
