GAME REVIEW: Spider-Man: Miles Morales

After the huge success of Sony's Spider-Man game for the PS4 back in 2018, it was inevitable that they'd make it into a series. Plenty of hints were dropped throughout the game for a suspected sequel, and the inclusion of Miles Morales in that game as a minor playable character had excitement stirring. So when…

BOOK LIST: A Beginners Guide to…YA LGBT+ Books

Books can be a source of comfort for many readers, but can also be a source of self discovery too. Often, readers will turn to books with LGBT+ representation to learn about themselves, their friends or their family members.  It's reassuring for readers to see a character in a book that they can look to…

BOOK REVIEW – THE BLACK FLAMINGO

I never used to enjoy reading poetry. It would remind me of the days in school where we would endlessly have to annotate and break down somewhat miserable poems. In fact, the only poem I can remember resonating with in school was one called 'Half-Caste' by John Agard, a poem that tells the reader that…

BOOK REVIEW – I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST

As one of my most anticipated reads of 2019, this book certainly didn't disappoint. 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…

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…

Looking back at… 2018 Bookish Resolutions

At the beginning of 2018, I set myself some 'Bookish Resolutions' in the hopes that I would keep to them and maybe push myself to read more books, or perhaps to read a different genre! Now that the year is over, I thought I'd take a look back at them now and see how well I…

The Power of The Hate U Give

I'm not quite over The Hate U Give. I really need to see it again, just to watch the incredible performances. Watching the film brought up some personal thoughts and feelings that have always been in the back of my mind, but the strength of Starr's story has given me a thought to speak. I…

The Books that Made Me ‘Me’

Guess who's back? After a brief hiatus - during which I got a new job and cut a ton of my hair off - the blog is back and raring to go. I've missed it quite a lot. Never fear - I would never abandon it! Life has just been rather busy currently. Today I…
