Hello my fellow bookworms. If you’re living in the UK I hope you are surviving the heatwave. For me I find I read more as I can’t seem to sleep because it’s so stuffy. I love the sun, just not the heat. Anyways, I thought it was about time I finally review this book. I read this about a month ago and interviewed the amazing author Sarah Street. I was so surprised by this book and I will tell you why. Did you cry is the Disney movie of Beauty and the Beast? I do, every single time. In a […]

So let’s forget the world right now and focus on my favourite books of the year so far especially during Booked-In. Top 5 […]

Hello my lovely bookworms. The last couple of days has been scorching in the UK and I like many others hate it. It’s certainly not a nice heat, sticky and no sleep comes to mind. I’ve also been in a reading slump since the beginning of the June. But yesterday because I couldn’t sleep I opened a book, and I read. I loved it! So who knew a heatwave could cure a reading slump. Today would usually be a Let’s Talk Books post and in a way it still is. But I thought I would let you know what I’m […]
