Hey lovelies! I am back again with another review but this time instead of a book review, it’s going to be a series review of the Spark trilogy by Rachael Craw. This consists of Spark, Stray and Shield. I was really intrigued by this series because it was #ozya and I’ve been wanting to pick up more books by local authors (even though Rachael is technically from New Zealand!). I had also heard some absolutely...

Hey lovelies! Today is a very exciting day because I am…finally bringing the baking back to my blog! It’s been such a long time since I shared something I baked on here and it’s mostly because I’ve been wondering how to mix books and baking together. But I finally figured a way and today, I am not only going to be sharing with you a review of a great book, Frostblood by Elly Blake but...

Hey lovelies! I have a very special book to be sharing with you all today and that is A Quiet Kind Of Thunder by the lovely Sara Barnard. I had read Barnard’s other book Beautiful Broken Things last year (review here!) and I really loved it so when I heard she was coming out with a new book – this one being a diverse read – of course I had to read it! I read...

Today I am going to be reviewing the extremely popular and highly acclaimed My Lady Jane!  Just a little context on this book. It is a historical fiction book that is more fiction than historical. It is based on Lady Jane Grey who was the Queen of England for 9 days before it was 'off with her head'. Except the authors decided to change up history a little and give her a happy ending!  Also,...

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness has been a book that has been on my TBR for a while after hearing such fantastic things about it from everyone! It has won so many awards over the years, has so many editions such as an illustrated edition (illustrations done by Jim Kay who has also...

So going into this, I heard some pretty mixed reviews. Some people loved it, others hated it and I hadn’t really heard of an in-between. However, I hoped to be one of the ones that did love it as the premise sounded so exciting and I couldn’t wait till it arrived in the mail! And boy was I disappointed. ...

Mental illness is a contemporary issue that I’m found very interesting to read about as it hasn’t been brought to attention as often as I would like. Statistics say that at least 20% of adults are affected by mental illnesses every year. Anxiety disorders are the most common, then depression. The two books I am reviewing today are amazing books on mental illness that have portrayed it so beautifully and that I have learnt so...

So if you’ve been keeping up with my previous wrap ups which are the October and November wrap up, you’ll know I was on holiday during the last week of November and the entire of December of 2016! I knew I was going to have a lot of spare time during this trip so I took A LOT of books with me to read during this period of time! And I am pretty...

For the rules and other information, read my previous post because this post is already going to be super long without going into all of that! ...
