Welcome to day five of the Frostblood blog tour, in particular, my Fire post! I'm so excited to have received a copy of Frostblood by Elly Blake from Chapter5 Books for this tour, and I've even got a little extract for you. Stick around to read my thoughts and for a sneak peek of Frostblood! From the cover: Ruby is a Fireblood. In a land ruled by frost, her very existence is a crime. She's spent her whole life in hiding. Until the day Frostblood soldiers raid her village and kill her mother. The day she swears to avenge her people. She must travel deep into the heart of the enemy, to ... Read the Post...
JANUARY TO-BE-READ
My first TBR of 2017 - how exciting! I've got quite a lot of deadlines coming up at university over the next few months (booo), but I don't want to lose momentum with my reading, so I'm attempting to read the following this month. So, the first book on my TBR for 2017. I recently ran a poll on Twitter recently asking everybody which book I should read next, and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern won! I've seen this book a lot on Booktube, so I've got a feeling it's going to be great. "The circus arrives with no warning, one day it was not there, and the next it was. ... Read the Post...
DECEMBER WRAP UP
I felt like I got through way more books than I actually did in December... but thought I'd put together a little wrap up anyway! The first book I read in December was The Memory Book by Lara Avery*. You can read my full review here, but the bottom line is that despite it breaking my heart, I really, really loved it and found Sammie super inspirational. Next up is The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel. This book isn't actually released until March, so you'll have to wait until then to find out all my thoughts! But, I can say that this book had me gripped: it's dark, mysterious and so very ...

MY FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2016
Happy New Year everybody! I hope you had a great time however you decided to welcome the year in. 2016 was a great year for reading. Not only were there some awesome releases, I also found my favourite book series. Of all time. But you'll have to wait and see to find out what that is! I've pulled together my favourite books from 2016; they aren't all 2016 releases, but I did read them all this year, and they're in no particular order, until the number one and two positions. I've got a feeling that this is going to be a long post, so let's get into it! One type of book I never thought ... Read the Post...
MY 2017 BOOKISH RESOLUTIONS
I had a pretty good reading year in 2016; I managed to get through 60 books (up to the 30th December as I'm writing this!) which were a mixture of a few different genres. I thought I'd start 2017 with good intentions by setting myself some bookish resolutions. Whether I'll succeed is another story, but this is a good start. Read 65 books: Reaching around 60 books in 2016, after setting an initial target of 25, I want to aim higher in 2017. I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself though, as I'm in my final year of uni and of course that's (sadly) my first ... Read the Post...
