“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.

It's the embodiment of kindness and it made me smile all the way through. There is something about the way Susan Calman writes that... Continue Reading →
'"We're sinking!" she exclaimed. "Actually, we're diving," said Wilmot. "It's like sinking, but on purpose."' ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I didn't intend to read two middle-grade books in a row but I had to read this one for work (event planning!). I have to confess that I think this book suffered slightly in my estimations because it was... Continue Reading →
"Trouble always starts when you are out of proportion with who you are talking to." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a lovely book this was. A stunning debut middle-grade novel all about the wonders of books. Even if you don't often read a lot of books from this age group, this one is worth your time. It's super... Continue Reading →
“I barely know him. I guess that is every relationship. You start with nothing and maybe end with everything.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A collab between Albertalli and Silvera? YES PLEASE.
