I'm a sucker for planners; organisation and stationery combined is just 10/10 in my opinion. I've been a big fan of Dot Creates for a while now, in fact I own and reviewed her last planner here, and so when I saw the "I Can Do This" blog planner, I didn't hesitate. I use a planner pretty much every single day, but having one for my blog and one for my personal life did mean that I'd often have to cart round two which could be a little inconvenient, so I couldn't wait for this one to arrive! Read on for my review with lots of pictures. First of all, this is a very sturdy hardback which ... Read the Post...

I can't believe that we're already at the end of October. Happy Halloween everyone! The last day of the month brings with it the last review in my Spooktober Halloween Reads series: The Creeper Man by Dawn Kurtagich.

Review: Wicked Like a Wildfire by Lana Popovic
Over the past few months I'd heard a lot of great things about Wicked Like a Wildfire by Lana Popovic, so much so that I knew I'd just have to get my hands on it once it was released. I then received an exciting email and was very kindly gifted a copy from Harper360 - thank you! This book has such a stunning cover and feels perfectly seasonally appropriate; I couldn't wait to delve right in. Keep reading for my spoiler free review. From the cover: All the women in Iris and Malina’s family have the unique magical ability or “gleam” to manipulate beauty. Iris sees flowers as fractals ... Read the Post...
Review: Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell
Welcome to the fifth post in my Halloween Reads series! Throughout the month of 'Spooktober' I'm reviewing creepy reads, so make sure the check out the rest of my posts. I've had Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell sat on my book shelves for a while now, but for some reason I just never got around to reading it. As soon as I considered reading a month of Halloween Reads this book immediately jumped to mind. I was also lucky enough to get my copy signed by Bell at YALC earlier on in the year, so I was even more excited to pick it up. The blurb sounded suitably creepy but the actual plot shocked ...

Ten Thoughts Every Book Lover Has in a Book Store
A couple of weekends ago I was browsing my local Waterstones as my boyfriend patiently (yeah right) hovered beside me. I have to hand it to him though, he did recognise one book out of hundreds that I already own. Anyway, here's a list of thoughts that are usually floating around my head whilst perusing the many shelves of books. 1. Ok, I know exactly what I'm here for so I'll head straight there.... WAIT! New releases! 2. This is such a beautiful book cover! I've never heard of the book but it'll look so great on my shelves. 3. So I already have this series in paperback. Here are ... Read the Post...
