Reading Wrap-Up: July 2018
July was a crazy month for me. Not only was I incredibly busy with starting a new job, coming back from holiday, going on holiday again, and then going to YALC, but I also acquired and read so many books! I’m not going to break these down like I usually do becuase this post will… Continue reading

Book Review: The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
The Hazel Wood is a book that has been lurking at the back of my mind since 2017 – it’s a book that sounded absolutely perfect for me. I love a dark fairy tale, so when you throw in a New York setting and fuzz the barriers between fiction and reality it basically becomes my… Continue reading

Book Review: The Electrical Venus by Julie Mayhew
The Electrical Venus jumped out at me because it is historical young adult fiction — something I don’t think you see very often. On top of that, the book is set in Georgian England, which is even more of a rarity in YA. Although I didn’t know much about it, I decided to give it… Continue reading

Weekly Wrap-Up: 08 June 2018
Happy Friday! Today is a particularly special Friday because it’s my birthday. I’ve made it to 30 and still don’t feel like an adult. How?? I suspect that at this point, I’ll never be a proper grown up. I also had three pieces of cake for breakfast and am bouncing off the walls — that… Continue reading
