BOOK LIST: MY 2019 FAVOURITES

I’m back again with another roundup post! Although I only posted recently about some of my 2019 books, those were really just looking back on the ones I anticipated loving. This post will be all about my top favourite books of 2019, and a breakdown on why I loved them so much! I’m keeping this…

BOOK LIST: Looking Back at my Most Anticipated 2019 Reads

Back in December of 2018, I wrote a list of books that I was absolutely desperate to read in the new year. Well, the end of 2019 is coming ever closer, so I decided that I'd write a post looking back on my most anticipated reads and whether or not they lived up to everything I…

BLOG TOUR BOOK REVIEW: Angel Mage

Hey everyone! Today I'm lucky enough to be part of a blog tour for Angel Mage, a new adult fantasy by Garth Nix. I've never read any of Nix's books before, but I know that he has such a huge fanbase so I was ready to see what all the excitement was about! Liliath is…

BOOK LIST: A Beginners Guide to…UKYA

When it comes to YA, the majority of the books are set in America. This is all well and good but life in the US as a young adult is very different to life in the UK as a young adult. Our schools are vastly different, language and slang is different, and sometimes it's just…

BOOK REVIEW: Can Everyone Please Calm Down?

I received some excellent book post recently, a book that I'd been wanting to read for a while! Huge thanks to Wren & Rook publishing for sending me a reviewer copy of Can Everyone Please Calm Down? by Mae Martin!

BOOK REVIEW – I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST

This book is a triumph, and with such utterly beautiful passages it would be hard to not read this book and have your heart break and swell while reading. When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they're…

The Twitter POC Masterlist

A few weeks ago there was quite a bit of mess on Twitter in the book community, resulting in many readers and authors, the majority being POC, dealing with quite a lot of shit. In an attempt to bring a bit of joy to the situation, I asked people to respond to my tweet telling…

BOOK REVIEW: Proud Anthology

The Proud anthology was one of my most anticipated reads of 2019, and I'm pleased to say that it very much lived up to the excitement and the hype. Huge thanks to Stripes for gifting me a copy! Proud is a stirring, bold and moving anthology of stories and poetry by top LGBTQ+ YA authors…

BOOK REVIEW: Ghost

"Don't ever let someone call your life, your dreams, little. You hear me?" I don't mean to make a pun as this book is about running, but I raced through this book! Jason Reynolds is a fantastic author, and the voice and pacing in Ghost is excellent. You'll read it and want to support Ghost…

BOOK REVIEW: King of Scars

"Do not think that because I've let you live this long, I cannot change my mind. Accidents happen. Even to men of faith." After a brief break, I'm back to posting book reviews - and what better review to start with than King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo. This was one of my biggest anticipated…
