Hello humans! Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post, a bit of a quick one this week, largely because I think the names speak for themselves. Here are 10 authors I would love to meet (or meet again). Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and is an awesome way to discover new bloggers... Continue Reading →
Hello humans! Today I’m reviewing a book that is a little out of my comfort zone. If you’re new to the blog, my comfort zone is 100% YA science fiction and fantasy, so to venture into the realm of reality is more than a little strange for me. However, I do like stepping out of... Continue Reading →

Hello mortals and welcome to another Chain Interaction book review.

I was so close to buying a copy of this brand new in Waterstones a few weekends ago and I'm thrilled that I resisted the temptation because two days later I realised I could get the ebook free from the library *tiny victory dance*. This concept drew me in (who wouldn't want to jump into books?) but... Continue Reading →
Good morning friends! Today we're looking at a witchy novel, a bit younger than the books I normally read. In audience that is. This book was actually first published in 1991 before I was even born, so it's quite interesting seeing how the story compares to similar books publishing now. Goodreads Summary: At first glance,...

'What?' 'But' 'Wait' 'Huh?' 'How?' 'Why?' These are but some of the exclamations I uttered when reading this book. The Night Brother publishes on the first of June this year and based on it's quite...unusual cover I probably should have guessed I was in for something equally unusual. Goodreads Summary: Rich are the delights of... Continue Reading →
I was so pleased I succumbed to the hype and read Red Queen. But I was a little worried that the sequel wouldn't live up to my expectations. Very rarely do sequels meet my expectations, it's a trope we all know and definitely do not love. What is concerning about the Red Queen series is... Continue Reading →

If I were to make a list of all the cringe-worthy young adult books I have read and at times enjoyed (though usually for the wrong reasons) Golden would definitely be up there.
