This bank holiday weekend just gone, I took part in the Easter Readathon hosted by Kate. I took part for the first time last year and had so much fun, so I couldn't wait for it this time around!

Review: Vicious by V. E. Schwab
I can't believe how long it took me to read this book! Prior to picking this up I'd heard nothing but good things, and after meeting V at her recent event in Liverpool and getting the book signed, I just had to delve in. Keep reading for my spoiler free review of Vicious! Goodreads Synopsis "Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other.

The No Disclaimers Book Tag
Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you're all having an awesome week. I'm so looking forward to only having a four day working week and then a long weekend for the Bank Holiday! Over the weekend I am taking part in Kate's Easter Readathon. Check out my last post for a wrap up of the rules and what I'm planning on reading! Today I'm back with another tag. I'm really enjoying doing these right now and it's so cool to see the tags making their way round the book blog community as more and more people tag each other. The original post of this tag was by Catalyst Reads but this channel seems to no ... Read the Post...
