I’ve been almost non existent on here for yonks thanks to losing my love of reading. Life and lockdown got in the way and I became very apathetic towards the copious amounts of books that I had accumulated. Even though I must have started and discarded about 5 or 6 books, as soon as IContinue reading “Starfell – Willow Moss and the Vanished Kingdom”

So as of 1st June I was in charge of a Year 6 Bubble. As well as all the usual lessons, I wanted to keep reading to them but as I didn’t know all the children well enough to choose for the group, so I decided to let them choose. I took a selection ofContinue reading “Crater Lake – Jennifer Killick”

I was so excited to receive an advanced copy of Kate’s second Young Adult book and asked to be a part of her Blog Tour (my very first!). Having read her first book, ‘Summer of No regrets’ and really liking it, I had high hopes for ‘Asking for a friend’. This blog post will seeContinue reading “Asking for a Friend – Kate Mallinder Blog Tour”

So this one is a break away from my normal Middle Grade reads and is a Young Adult book. It was released last year and is Kate’s debut novel. I wasn’t sure what to expect as YA is not a genre I’ve ever read, I don’t even remember reading it when I was in thatContinue reading “Summer of No Regrets – Kate Mallinder”

Nothing for months and then 2 blog posts in one day I hear you say. Well with a title like that, who could resist. Some of these books have been on my TBR for blimmin ages and I really really must read them. I’m finding that if I make myself a list of jobs aContinue reading “#SixforSunday”

I was lucky enough to be sent an advanced copy of this book which was released at the beginning of April. You’d have thought that with the current situation and the copious amount of time away from school, that I would have time a plenty to read, read and read. Sadly, this hasn’t been theContinue reading “The House of Hidden Wonders – Sharon Gosling”

I’ve really enjoyed joining in with the #SixforSunday and this one is no exception. It did get my brain going and I had to get the old thinking cap on. Some characters and reasons sprang to mind instantly but others I really had to think about. My first character is Oswin the Kobold from DominiqueContinue reading “#SixforSunday”

Now I’ve composed myself and recovered from reading this book, I can sit and write this. It has taken me quite a while to read it because I was finding it quite traumatic at times and I was almost too scared to turn the page. I’m so glad that I found my Brightstorm courage andContinue reading “Darkwhispers – Vashti Hardy”

I was scrolling through my twitter not so long after I’d read The Strangeworlds Travel agency and saw a retweet about getting the book as a themed box called ‘Expand your mind’ through a company called We Read Box. It comes with some additional themed items and as I adored the book and with theContinue reading “We Read Boxes”

What’s the saying….. oh yes, Never judge a book by its cover. Pah, what piffle. As I am most definitely a visual reader, as in not just the words but pictures, that saying is most definitely not true for me. As the title says, this Sunday I am sharing my 6 favourite covers. For meContinue reading “#SixforSunday”
