Book Review: After the Fire by Will Hill
I must confess that I initially ignored the hype surrounding After the Fire. It is listed as a contemporary YA novel, a genre I don’t tend to enjoy, and I knew nothing about it but the hype.

I was hesitant about reading City of Blades for several reasons, the main one being the dreaded second book syndrome. Some of my recent… Continue reading

Book Review: Orlando by Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf is an author I’d really wanted to read more of, having only every picked up Mrs Dalloway. Wanting to read more of her books, I snapped up the chance to read Orlando. Written in 1928, Orlando has been celebrated as one of the landmark LGBTQ+ novels. Continue reading

The YALC Diaries
For YALC this year, I thought I’d do something a little different from my standard book haul or uninteresting list. Behold, The YALC Diaries! Although I’m beginning this post after Friday’s festivities have come to an end, I’m planning to write this up as a play-by-play of my favourite book event. Here we go! Continue reading
