July TBR
Hi everyone, Since we’re now a few days into July, I thought I’d share my To Be Read list for this month. I was hoping to keep it short and sweet this month, since there’s still a lot going on, but I’ve already started hauling this month [it turns out I will be much more financially stable come October than I anticipated, so I should be hauling more books more regularly now]. So obviously the TBR pile is growing like crazy 😀 Anyhow, here is the list of books I’m hoping to read this month: All These Beautiful Strangers by Elizabeth Klehfoth. I thought I’d clear the YALC books out the…

Theatrical Blog Tour
Hey everyone, Today I’m the first stop on the blog tour for Maggie Harcourt’s new book Theatrical. The book follows Hope, as she interns on a major stage production at the theatre of her dreams. But with a distracting romance, lots of responsibility, a stroppy Hollywood star and a juicy secret Hope is determined to keep under wraps, she’s finding it hard to keep her cool. If you’ve seen my blog in the last week or so, you’ll know how much I LOVED this book. My review is here in case anyone wants to check that out, and I’ll be uploading a YouTube review of it soon too, if anyone is interested.…

Sea Witch Book Review
The Sea Witch by Sarah Henning From Goodreads: Everyone knows what happens in the end. A mermaid, a prince, a true love’s kiss. But before that young siren’s tale, there were three friends. One feared, one royal, and one already dead. ~~~~~~~~~~ Ever since her best friend, Anna, drowned, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town. A freak. A curse. A witch. A girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears offshore and, though the girl denies it, Evie is convinced that her best friend actually survived. That her own magic wasn’t so powerless after all. And, as the two girls catch the eyes—and hearts—of two charming princes, Evie…

June Haul and Wrap Up
Hey everyone, how is it going? So we’re drawing to the end of June, and I thought it would be time to share my June haul and wrap-up. It’s been a pretty quiet month for books for me, just because I’m trying to save up some money for renting a nice place next year and I’m still trying to get a job. But last month was pretty crazy for books and I’ll be attending YALC next month [where there are cheap and even free books EVERYWHERE] so I think I’m okay with this being a small haul month. There’s plenty still to read, at least. P.S. Sorry for the very…

Unpopular Opinions Book Tag
Hi everyone, how is it going? It’s been a pretty busy week for me as I’ve been away visiting the boyfriend’s family and going to a wedding, so I haven’t been very hands on with posts recently. But I did have time to finally figure out how to edit this video for Youtube, so if you fancy checking out my unpopular bookish opinions over on there you can do so using this link [or you could be super wonderful and subscribe to my channel and then you get to see even more of me]. In other news there’s some exciting things coming up. Tomorrow, I’ll be posting my June haul…

Theatrical Book Review
Theatrical by Maggie Harcourt From Goodreads: Hope dreams of working backstage in a theatre, and she’s determined to make it without the help of her famous costume designer mum. So when she lands an internship on a major production, she tells no one. But with a stroppy Hollywood star and his hot young understudy upstaging Hope’s focus, she’s soon struggling to keep her cool… and her secret. Gorgeously fresh, funny and commercial YA romance from the author of Unconventional, and The Last Summer of Us. This was one of those books that made me hover by the front door, waiting for the postman to deliver it. Unconventional was one of my favourite YA reads…

Pokemon Types Book Tag
Hey everyone, So today I thought I’d make my own book tag, and figured I would combine my love of the Pokemon video games with some bookish fun. I know there’s a Pokemon Go tag already out there, but I thought we’d do something a little unique so we’re going to do it based on the original types, rather than individual pokemon. I’ve chosen ten of them to include here and will tag some people at the bottom if they feel like joining in [although if anyone else wants to, you are more than welcome to.] ICE TYPE: A book that gave you chills For this one, I picked The Wicked…

The Queens of Innis Lear Book Review
The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton From Goodreads: A kingdom at risk, a crown divided, a family drenched in blood. The erratic decisions of a prophecy-obsessed king have drained Innis Lear of its wild magic, leaving behind a trail of barren crops and despondent subjects. Enemy nations circle the once-bountiful isle, sensing its growing vulnerability, hungry to control the ideal port for all trade routes. The king’s three daughters—battle-hungry Gaela, master manipulator Reagan, and restrained, starblessed Elia—know the realm’s only chance of resurrection is to crown a new sovereign, proving a strong hand can resurrect magic and defend itself. But their father will not choose an heir until the longest…
