“For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Confession time: I have never actually read any Dickens! Don't shoot me! Over Christmas, I decided that I couldn't go into 2019 Dickens-less so I picked up the seasonal, A Christmas Carol. And you know what? I really enjoyed it.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was very intrigued about this book and had seen it floating around on Instagram for a while before it found itself on my TBR shelf and then one day after I'd finished my last book I decided to pick it up because it was only a short novella (approx. 160 pages) and ended...

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Now let me just say first off that there were so many fantastic things about this book, including its diversity and inclusion and readability, but I gave it 3 stars because I did have a couple of issues.

This was one of those books where you fall into the world so easily that when you have... Continue Reading →
“This book you’re reading now, though, isn’t set in the gritty world of pound shops; this book is all real.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oh, Susan! This book is just a joy to read.

-Quotation to come.- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the second book from author Karen M. McManus after her first YA murder mystery, One of Us Is Lying which I reviewed before and LOVED so I was psyched to get a proof copy of this from work.
