Another month, another coffee and haul post. Join me? The Coffee: This week, I'm drinking a surprise coffee which Husband brought home on a recent trip away. It was roasted by Yorks Coffee Roasters in Birmingham, but I have no idea what the coffee itself is because the label got smudged to the point of... Continue Reading →
A Bookish October
October brought me some great reads, a fabulous bookish date, a great event, and a vile chest infection. Some of these I enjoyed more than others. Hannah picked me a great TBR to see me through the month, so huge thanks to Hannah for that. September closed with some terrible maths and 334 books on... Continue Reading →

Six for Sunday: Books You Wish You Had as a Teen
Thanks Steph for another excellent #SixforSunday prompt. There are so many books I wish had existed when I was in my teens: 1. Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne. I do not have OCD, but I identified with lot of the symptoms Evie suffers around germs and teenage me would really have appreciated this... Continue Reading →
Book Review: True Sisters by Keren David
True Sisters is a brilliant story about family and how it isn't always the one you are born into. It is written from duel viewpoints of two young girls: Ruby (a girl whose mother taken in foster children) and Clara (her latest foster sister). True Sisters starts very evocatively with Clara being removed from her... Continue Reading →
Book Review: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
This book though! Oh. My. Gosh. If you're a regular reader of my blog, you will know that A Good Girl's Guide to Murder was my most anticipated proof of this year's YALC, and that I screamed really loudly when I won one. Andie Bell was murdered five years ago by Sal Singh. Everyone knows... Continue Reading →

Hello everyone. Today I am showing you some of the books that I have got lately. 1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. This is the third Harry Potter book and I am reading it but I never did a post about reading Harry Potter book one or two. I love... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Nowhere Emporium by Ross MacKenzie
This book though. Steph picked me an amazing list to read in September, and this was probably my favourite of them all. "The shop from nowhere arrived with the dawn on a crisp November morning." I loved it from this opening line, and it only got better. The Nowhere Emporium appears at random. Anyone can... Continue Reading →
Six for Sunday: Books You Want to Re-read
This week Steph is asking us to think about six books we'd like to re-read. I love to re-read old favourites, but haven;t had / made time to do so for such a long time. Here's six of the books I would most like to re-read. A couple are cheats because they're series I'd like... Continue Reading →
