⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. At the beginning, I really enjoyed the tone of voice, but about halfway through it started... Continue Reading →
"You'll find the bad stuff has good bits too. The bad days are the days that make you you." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'm a huge fan of Matt Haig's Christmas books and the latest, The Truth Pixie, is a really sweet story written in adorable verse. I read the whole thing in one sitting and the last... Continue Reading →
-Quotation to come- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn't have been more excited for this sequel! I haven't stopped going on about the first book in the series, Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow since I finished it in March.

-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. I'm always a bit worried my expectations are too high when... Continue Reading →
"Acknowledge that the patriarchy is a cult that so many of us have been enrolled in without our consent and that de-programming may take a while." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I confess that I don't like pink, and that is probably down to the fact that I try to push away anything obviously put on women and girls...

"Rage had been crackling inside me like a fire, first a slow burn, then an inferno." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The premise of this book hooked me immediately. A feminist dystopia based in the very near future (or even alternative present) where women now have a quota of 100 words they can use during the day alongside pretty... 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 →
