This week's Mini Reviews seems to have an accidental theme of books that I should have read sooner! Margot and Me by Juno Dawson Until I picked up Margot and Me, I had only read Juno's most recent three books, and this had a very different vibe. Fliss is moving to Wales with her mother...

Six for Sunday: Children’s Books You’d Love To Read
Happy Sunday. Another week of Kid's Books prompts from the Queen of Middle Grade, Steph. This week I'm sharing six books from my shelves that I really want to read, but haven't got around to yet.

ThursTag: The Book Interview Tag
In a move that will surprise precisely noone, I am doing another tag I saw on Steph's blog: The Book Interview Tag. Name: Charlotte. There's a select few nicknames I will tolerate, but I actually like my name, and only my nearest and dearest get away with using them. Age: 35 (we'll casually ignore the... Continue Reading →

Today's reviews are all grown up books I've read this year. I don't know who I am either. The Chain by Adrian McKinty The Chain was the book I read on my last pre-Covid outing as the news that we were likely heading to lockdown broke, so it will always stick in my head for... Continue Reading →
Six for Sunday: Children’s Books I’d Love To Jump Into
Today's #SixforSunday prompt from the lovely Steph (A Little But A Lot) is children's books you'd love to jump into. I thought this would be a really easy post to do because there are so many children's books I love, but it turns out, there are fewer books I'd want to live in for any... Continue Reading →
ThursTag: The Fireworks Book Tag
Happy ThursTag! I pinched another tag from Steph this week: The Fireworks Book Tag. I know it's after bonfire night, but I'm a rebel. I'm trying to complete this with books I've read during my break from blogging rather than answering with my usual suspects. It is not as easy as I thought it would... Continue Reading →
Coffee and … Happy Things
As with everything, I haven't shared a happy things post in a while. There's been a lot to be miserable about lately, so I thought it was a good time to do one of these lists. Join me in a coffee? The Coffee: This week, we've been drinking another from our faves over at Steampunk.... Continue Reading →
