Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is canceled, and now her parents are separating. Why her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing—with some awkward dude she hardly…

February Haul and Wrap Up
So this month was pretty uneventful in terms of my book buying. I only got a few copies of things, although I do have some E-ARCs on my kindle to get through soon. Problematically, my shelves are really starting to fill up, and I don’t have much room for more books. Books I Bought: Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. This behemoth of a book was a purchase from Illumicrate, who were doing signed and personal copies. On the Come Up by Angie Thomas. I’m going to meet her today and I am SO EXCITED. Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen McManus. I just realised as I stared at my shelves…

February TBR
Hi everyone, Since we’re now a few days into February, I thought I would share my TBR list with you all. It’s a little bit ambitious, especially as I am also reading lots of YA for my PhD research this month [hello Grisha trilogy] but I’m still hoping to get through most of it 😀 Anyhow, here is the list of books I’m hoping to read this month: King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo. I’ve already started this one, but I was a bit delayed in picking it up after its release since I had deadlines. I’m really enjoying it, but for some reason I’m struggling to read big chunks of it…

Books I’m Super Excited For in 2018 Part One: Jan-March
Hey everyone, So this post comes a little late [three months into the year, to be exact] but I still thought it would be sweet to share some of my most anticipated YA and adult reads of this year with you. I’ll include in this list some of the books I’ve already read in Jan/Feb just because, and since it’s so long, I’m going to divide it into three-month parts so it doesn’t look like a mountain of books. So, without any more waffling, here are the novels I can’t wait for in 2018. Remember as well that the dates on show are for UK releases [and may not prove…

February Wrap-Up
Hey, everyone. February is finally behind us [even if the snowy weather is not] and I thought it was high-time I talked about my month of bookishness. It’s been quite a busy month, packed more with social events than with lazy Sunday reads. but I did manage to turn a few pages this month. The first novel I read this month was Libba Bray’s The Diviners, a historical fantasy YA about a girl with the ability to read objects, and who is entangled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a supernatural murderer. I started this book at the end of January, and it took a few days to get…

February: First Date Book Tag
Hey guys, so this is a pretty old tag [dating back to 2016] but with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I figured I would dust it off and have a go at answering these questions myself. I first came across this on the Booktube channel Alex’s Fiction Addiction so if you want to see more of this, you should check it out there. The original tag was made by Kate’s Book Date 😀 In addition to this, if there’s some kind of amusing [and probably awkward] backstory I can supply to my choices, I will add it to my explanation of why I chose the books on this list Question…
