ThursTag: The Last Ten Books Tag
Did I pinch another tag I saw on Steph's blog? Yes, yes I did. Why break a good habit? The Last Book I Gave Up On Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi. Not because I wasn't enjoying it, but because it had been such a long time since I read the first book... Continue Reading →
Coffee and… A Happy February

Six for Sunday: Favourite Books / Characters / Authors
It's Sunday, it's the start of half term and a week off work, and for this week's #SixforSunday we're sharing favourite books / characters / authors. I bet I can guess at least one of Steph's answers for this. I wasn't sure how to approach this theme, so I've chosen two favourite authors, my favourite... Continue Reading →
