Hello humans! Today's post is a little different to my usual book reviews. Don't fret, I'll be back sharing my ramblings and witterings soon but one of my goals for 2018 is to include more non-review posts on the blog and to see how they go. Do you ever find yourself wishing there were more... Continue Reading →

Just Off the Path, Weston Sullivan ARC Review
Magic mirrors always seem to make things go terribly wrong. I'm surprised they keep manufacturing them! This is a fairytale with a twist (a cliché I know but one that I'm not yet tired of). With lies, love and no small dose of magic, how does Just off the Path compare to the hoards of other... Continue Reading →

I hate the word Crazy, but I didn’t hate this book. Crazy House, James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet Book Review
The last book I read penned by James Patterson's Maximum Ride: The Final Warning, book four in the Maximum Ride series, and the point at which I gave up on the series.

Why hello again, nice to see you (just kidding I can't actually see you). Hope you're doing alright.

When Shaun Hume emailed... Continue Reading →
