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.

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.

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…

LGBTQ+ Book Recommendations
Hey everyone, how’s it going? As you may or may not know, June is America’s LGBT History Month and while I’m not American, I thought this would be the perfect time to recommend some brilliant and diverse books which promote and discuss LGBT issues. These include some pretty well-known series, as well as some lesser known ones which may have slipped under your radar. I include the names of series where sometimes the diversity comes a little later, in case you pick up one of these books and wonder what the hell I’m talking about. So sit back, relax, and grab a cup of coffee as I go through my…

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.

But their father will not choose an heir until the longest…

May Illumicrate ‘Hidden Talents’ Unboxing
Hi everyone, Are you ready for an Illumicrate unboxing? I thought you might be. This was the May ‘Hidden Talents’ Box and it was also my first time purchasing through this company so I was SO excited. It’s coming to you a little later than planned because one of the items in the box was late, which means they didn’t get sent out on time [BOO] but they were jam-packed with wonderful items [YAY] so I didn’t mind too much. If you’d rather watch a video of me talking about all the items, you can do so here. The first item I saw in the box was this awesome lunch…
