I know everyone is sick of hearing these words but holy hell I cannot believe it is halfway through December! I am even more stoked that I am on holiday – finally – because for a while it seemed as if

A couple of weeks back I received this book from Jonathan Ball Publishers in exchange for an honest review. I haven’t heard much about A Tragic Kind of Wonderful before receiving it, but as soon as I opened the package I’ve been seeing it in every book store I step into. The only thing I …

It’s been a good while since I walked through my high school gates for the last time, brimming with nerves and overflowing with excitement for the new chapter that waits. When I look back, I can’t say that high school itself was as tough on me as it was for so many of my peers; …

Hey, Hi, Hello! Can you tell how excited I am about today’s post? It’s slightly different from my usual book review in that it’s actually an interview to do a bit of constructive fanning and fawning over this magical book that gave me all the ‘feels’, along with all the “stuff and nonsense”. A few …

I am a little shocked that I managed to complete my Goodreads Challenge this year, what with having a rather weird year of reading. I managed to read a total of 70 books, which was quite a cut considering that I started the year off quite ambitiously by declaring a goal of 150 books. Even …

Guys, I am so ready to give 2016 a proper send off! Man, this year was strange, brutal and insanely chaotic! And judging by the posts everyone has been putting up on their social media profiles, I am not alone in feeling this way. Although, 2016 has also brought lots of good things too; like the …

You guys!!! Have you seen my top ten books for 2016 post? I completed my Goodreads Challenge! I am unbelievably happy about achieving this goal that I’ve set for myself, even though it wasn’t the total I initially put up at the start of the year. I’m still beyond happy that I managed to complete …

I was lucky enough to win a SIGNED copy of The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness a few weeks ago, which made my year really, since I have been salivating after it for a long time. Tammy, a fel

A few weeks ago I found out that The Bibliotheque will be hosting an awesome reading challenge on her blog. The “Comfort Zone Reading Challenge” pushes you to read 17 books that belong to genres outside of your comfort zone. As soon as I saw this challenge, I immediately signed up because I have so …

My monthly wrap up, featuring the books I read during the month of January 2017. In other words, the first three books for the year.

Books I read during the month of May 2016, including Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys and Beautifully Broken Things by Sara Barnard.

Happy New Year everyone!! I am really looking forward to 2016 and all that will come with it. After all, a new year equals a new leaf; or add a cringe worthy philosophical cliché here. I have a couple

March was an absolutely EPIC reading month for me! I read as if my life depended on it, and it was AWESOME. Not only did I read an absurd amount of books (which was amazing!) but all the books I picked up were fantastic reads. This just goes to show – a number means didly …

I know this post is a few days late, but I really wanted to publish it anyway; not because I had an overly exciting reading month – oh no! My ex-boss called me up a week into February, and even though I wasn’t excited about commuting for 2 hours every day and then sitting behind …
