It's been a while since I posted on a Monday, but I'm back today with mini reviews of one of my favourite Middle Grade series, Who Let the Gods Out? by Maz Evans. I reviewed the first in the series a while ago (you can see that here). Obviously, these reviews might have spoilers for... Continue Reading →
Steph is hurting both my brain and my feelings with this week's prompt. Not only am I straining my little grey cells to remember the books I read during high school (I started there 23 years ago), but it is also reminding me how old I am. Here are six of the books I read... Continue Reading →
Today is my spot on the blog tour for Estelle Maskame's latest book, The Wrong Side of Kai, and I'm sharing a guest post from the author about why she writes books set in the US.

This prompt is what my A level history teacher would have called a "thank you god question". I'm not saying Steph is god, but I loved this prompt. 1. Hogwarts. I feel like... Continue Reading →
If any of you read my friend Steph's blog A Little But A Lot you'll know she regularly steals tags from my blog. So I'm returning the favour by pinching this one from her. If you don't read her blog, you really should get on that because she's awesome. Don't tell her I said that.... Continue Reading →
Not a usual topic for me to share on a Wednesday, but go with it, ok? Grab a coffee and join me, and I promise I'll explain. The Coffee: Friends, this week has been a drama in the coffee world of Team Burns. The grinder broke (until husband came home from his trip away and... Continue Reading →
