Book Events: YALC 2019
I know, I know, this is coming to you late. This month has been horrendous for academic deadlines, and I’ve had to do a lot of work in quite a rush, and between that and the long hours spent at my laptop trying to make my brain focus, I ended up going on a sort of impromptu hiatus. Which means my review of YALC and a breakdown of the gigantic haul I snagged while I was there, has been put back to now. As some of you may know, at the end of July, I attended the Young Adult Literature Convention with some of my favourite people in the world.…

Preparing for YALC
Hey everyone, With YALC just a few short weeks away and a whole load of reading to be done in that time, I thought I could make today’s post about preparing for YALC– looking at some of the biggest authors who will be making appearances, some of the awesome books worth checking out, and what is still on my YALC TBR. For those of you not in the know, YALC is a part of comic-con in London and is a special floor just for YA stuff. It includes lots of publisher stalls, some merch stalls [Geeky Clean, Fairyloot and Book Box Club all made an appearance last year and will…

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…

May Book Box Club ‘Stargazers’ Unboxing
Hi everyone, I finally got my hands on the May Stargazers box from Book Box Club. The postman came a little later than usual, so I was out grabbing coffee with a friend when it came, but fortunately my boyfriend was around to answer the door, so I came home to this wonderful surprise of book box goodness. Obviously, since this is an unboxing post, there are spoilers for the May box ahead, so if you haven’t received your Stargazers swag yet, you might want to bookmark this post and come back to it later 😀 Awesome, now that we’ve clarified that we’re all meant to be here and spoilers…

Book Box Club March ‘Under the Sea’ Unboxing
Hey everyone, Today I thought I’d bring you an unboxing/review of the Book Box Club box for March. The theme for this month was ‘Under the Sea’ and it promised some excellent goodies. I have to say, I wasn’t disappointed. If you’d prefer to see a video version of the unboxing [featuring my weird face] you can do so here. Cool. So now we’ve got that out of the way, I suppose we should get on with the actual unboxing. As always, it came with a gorgeous art card with the spoilers for the box on the back. I love these things, and I tend to decorate my uni room…
