Time for another review, this time it's of Are We All Lemmings & Snowflakes? by Holly Bourne. A few months ago I received a very exciting email from Usborne inviting me to join the Prime Numbers - a group of Holly fans coming together to spread the kindness alongside her latest novel. I replied with YES (maybe a little more professionally than that if I'm honest) and was immediately excited. I'm a huge fan of Holly's, not only because she is an exceptional writer of awesome stories, but because the first time I read about a character like me in terms of mental health was in Am I ...

Review: Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
So I'm back, talking about how long it's been since I posted here again... In a nutshell, my boyfriend and I got the keys to our first house together on the 1st October, so over the past few months our spare time has been spent completing paperwork, liaising with solicitors and the seller, organising works, shopping for furnishings and most recently stripping the wallpaper in every room and other bits around the house. I'm already planning my office/personal library! All in all I've been a little preoccupied recently and much to my dismay reading has definitely taken a backseat and with all ... Read the Post...
Review: The Glass Spare by Lauren DeStefano
So, it's been a long time huh? Well over a month in fact. Before diving in to my latest review I thought I'd give you all a little update. Long story short: my boyfriend and I are in the process of buying a house! Back in July we viewed a few houses and we found "the one", swiftly put an offer in after a couple of viewings which got accepted, applied for our mortgage which got accepted and now we're just in the middle of the solicitors side of things which we're keeping our fingers crossed doesn't unearth anything that might delay the sale. Basically my brain has just been packed full of ... Read the Post...

Review: Just Don’t Mention It by Estelle Maskame
This morning I finished Estelle Maskame's latest novel, and since closing the book I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I read and loved Maskame's bestselling first series, Did I Mention I Love you (or DIMILY for short), a year or so ago, and when I heard that she was writing the first book from Tyler's point of view I couldn't wait to read it. So when I received an email from Ink Road Books asking if I wanted to be part of the book tour, of course I had to say yes - my copy is even signed! Just Don't Mention It is the story of Tyler, with chapters alternating between his heart ... Read the Post...
