Earlier this month I came home to a parcel I'd very much been looking forward to, the Wildest Dreams Book Box! If you didn't know, a few months back, I was very luckily chosen to be a rep for Wildest Dreams and this box was very gratefully received from Zoe, the owner of Wildest Dreams Book Box. So, what exactly is the Wildest Dreams Book Box? It’s a monthly YA subscription box packed with a new YA release, tea and other goodies relating to a particular theme for less than £20! For February the theme was "Truth or Lies". Keep reading to see what was inside this month’s box. This ... Read the Post...

FairyLoot is a “fantasy focused monthly subscription box ... Read the Post...
The Costa Book of the Year 2017: The Awards Ceremony
December last year was an exciting time for me and my blog, as I began working with Costa Coffee on the Costa Book Awards 2017*! I reviewed the four books shortlisted in the Children's category, and what an incredible line up it was: Wed Wabbit by Lissa Evans, Moonrise by Sarah Crossan, The Explorer by Katherine Rundell and The Island at the End of Everything by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. It was so refreshing to read a genre that I don't usually pick up, and I had a lot of fun working with Costa on this category! At the start of this month, the winners of each of the five categories were ... Read the Post...
