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.…

Hot Key Books Bloggers Brunch Event
Hey everyone, So on Saturday I got invited to go to a special book bloggers brunch at Hot Key Books HQ in London. Obviously, I said yes and, with a rather empty stomach and a super early start, I boarded the coach to London to meet up with a bunch of authors, bloggers and publishers. And it was so awesome. The venue was very packed, and I think to some extent they didn’t anticipate quite so many people turning up. But it was really nice. After grabbing a cup of tea with a fellow blogger called Rubin thanks to turning up too early, we went inside and were immediately…

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…
