So this isn’t one of my usual book blogs (although I do have a couple I need to do) but I just wanted to reach out to you to say that it is ok to not be ok. You’d have to have been living on Mars or under a rock if you hadn’t heard theContinue reading “In a world where you can be anything – be kind!”

Apologies for the blog silence for a fair few weeks, work and illness seemed to take over as well as a book that I struggled to get in to but was determined to read. Now Half term is here (Hooray!) I can get some serious reading and blogging in as well as some cake bakingContinue reading “#Six for Sunday”

Out 2nd April 2020 I was lucky, again, to receive this as an e-ARC and when I requested it I wasn’t really sure what it was about but I just liked the fact it was about stars. I really should learn by now that books really aren’t like Ronseal (they don’t do exactly as itContinue reading “What stars are made of – Sarah Allen”

If there is ever a good thing that comes from being poorly and confined to bed, it is the ability to stay there all day and read. This is what I have done for most of the weekend and today too as I have lost my voice and have the lurgy. I was scanning myContinue reading “The Girl who stole an elephant”

I was lucky enough to receive an e-ARC of this book that I had been coveting since I saw the absolutely beautiful cover LD shared on twitter. I mean, who couldn’t want to read a book with a cover like that!!! This was pitched as a book for those that liked P.G Bell’s The trainContinue reading “The Strangeworlds Travel Agency – L.D Lapinski”

I can’t believe I am so late to the party with this one. It has been on my TBR for absolutely ages and to top that I was so lucky to win an American proof copy of it through #childreninread which has some brilliant illustrations that the UK version doesn’t. Now I’ve arrived, I amContinue reading “Book review Brightstorm – Vashti Hardy”

#SixforSunday #SixforSunday is hosted by Steph alittlebutalot (@eenalol) and is all about getting to know you through your books. Looking through my list it’s made me realise that I seem to gravitate to a certain type of book, which has actually surprised me. You can probably all guess what my favourite book of 2019 was……….Continue reading

I was introduced to this by Book Craic, who you can follow with their MG reviews and all things bookish. This is a meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words.  It asks three questions: 1.      What are you currently reading? 2.      What did you recently finish reading? 3. What do you think you’ll readContinue reading “WWW Wednesday”

Thanks to @eenalol at alittlebutalot.com, I thought I’d join in with my first ever #SixforSunday I’d decided to not make resolutions as such this year – not into this New Year/New Me stuff but make changes to improve my life but as this is all about books, I’ll make an exception and do my 6Continue reading “#SixforSunday”

You’ve probably seen this book advertised by Waterstones as one of their books of the Year and read/seen lots of reviews either on social media or in newspaper book reviews, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably wondered what all the hype is about. I’d held off buying the book and didn’t put itContinue reading “Is it worth the hype????”
