I know, I know, Iโm a bit late to the party, but I eventually got here! I think this year was one of the greatest in terms of fantastic reads by really wonderful authors. It is ridiculously hard to only pick six, but that is the trend I'm trying here on this blog ;P. Letโs [...]

#ROMANCELANDIA REVIEW: LET IT SNOW BY ERICA RIDLEY
I was intrigued when I first read the blurb, and slightly confused, because I didn't quite understand the fact that this book incorporatedย magic which, I don't think I originally read the blurb properly - so that kind of makes my entire point redundant. But what I'm trying to say is that I thoughtย yes. Erica Ridley'sย Let [...]
POETRY REVIEW: WILD EMBERS BY NIKITA GILL
Poems of rebellion, fire and beauty Wild Embers by Nikita Gill is a firestorm of lovely prose, that at times, can be quietly powerful and other times, is an exhilaration of a pure unstoppable force. I will try and keep this review brief, only because I wholeheartedly believe that this is a poetry collection [...]
#LOVEOZYA REVIEW: TAKE THREE GIRLS BY CATH CROWLEY, FIONA WOOD & SIMMONE HOWELL
#LOVEOZYA I am going to be quite honest, I picked this book up because I saw the name 'Cath Crowley' and I had such a deep love affair with her previous young adult novel,ย Words in Deep Blue.ย I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The main plotline centres upon the friendship [...]
REVIEW: MODERN CLASSIC BOOK PIC OF THE MONTH
The Myth of Sisyphus 'sin is not so much knowing as wanting to know'ย (p. 47). Have you ever read a book that leaves you utterly speechless? The words leave you in awe? Or complete and total confusion? This was that book. Albert Camus'ย The Myth of Sisyphus was written in 1942, during the worst of World [...]
REVIEW: ORIGIN BY DAN BROWN

I just really needed to get that out of the way. Moving onto the review portion of this post,ย Origin does not disappoint. Unlike the previous books, and maybe [...]

Adorable YA Reads: Part One
*PLEASE NOTE THAT MAJORITY OF THIS WAS WRITTEN PRIOR PLACEMENT* ย Iโll have you know that I am a master procrastinator. Instead of doing homework - and trust me I have a mountain load - I sit down on my dinner table, and write mini-reviews. Because if Iโm not doing homework, I am reading. Literally, [...]

WEEK IN BOOKS ep. 3
As it has been my first week out of placement, I haven't read all that many books (but ask me how many videos I've binged watched about BTS *insert jungkookย gif here*). But I have managed to find the motivation between lazing around and basking in the knowledge that I have absolutely nothing due, to finally [...]
