This week, our illustrious leader (aka Steph) has asked us to give six pieces of advice to new bloggers. This makes me feel like a giant fraud because I should in no way be giving advice on blogging to anyone, but here goes: 1. Find your own voice. This one is so important. Your voice...

Excuse me? How is it the end of September already? I have had a mixed month life-wise, but book-wise it was great. At the end of August Mount Ted was 328 books high. I'm pretty sure at some point I forgot to add some books to my Goodreads Mount Ted list because the numbers are... Continue Reading →
Today is my spot on the blog tour for I Invited Her In by Adele Parks. About the Book I invited her in… and she took everything. When Mel hears from a long-lost friend in need of help, she doesn’t hesitate to invite her to stay. Mel and Abi were best friends back in the day, sharing... Continue Reading →

About the Book: Splish, splosh, splash! It's Splash Day and everyone is ready for a water fight!

Bursting with lots of... Continue Reading →
Spare and Found Parts by Sarah Maria Griffin is a sort-of post-dystopian take on Frankenstein. I love Frankenstein as much as the next dark and twisted human, but honestly? I think Sarah's book is better. Nell Crane is an outsider, whose mother (Cora) died when she was young and whose father (Julian) is famous for... Continue Reading →
Dear Miss A Little But A Lot, Charlotte has not done her assigned homework this week because it was Much Too Hard to choose just six posts that are favourites she has read.
