Dear Reader, You may already know that I am a huge fan of Rachael Lippincott's writing. Last summer I read Five Feet Apart and at the start of this year All This Time (follow the links to read my reviews). Both these books were written in breath-taking partnership with Mikki Daughtry, but Rachael's latest book … Continue reading The Lucky List

I was first introduced to Emmy a couple of years ago when my Gran slid … Continue reading Yours Cheerfully
Circus of Wonders
Dear Reader, The anticipation surrounding the release of this book, and the fame when it was published last month, was enough to rival that of main character Nellie Moon herself! I obviously could not help but metaphorically 'attend the show' to see for myself... and my goodness was it worth it! What a show indeed! … Continue reading Circus of Wonders

Sistersong
Dear Reader, Something a bit different today... I'm not much of an adult fantasy reader. I've nothing against it, I just don't seem to read much in that particular genre. That is until I read Sistersong by Lucy Holland last week. Lucy's writing and character portrayal were so brilliant that I surprised myself by finding … Continue reading Sistersong
The Midnight Library
Dear Reader, Do you ever get the uneasy feeling that some books make you wait until the perfect moment in your life to read them? For me, The Midnight Library was one of those books. This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and so also a particularly appropriate time to share this recent read of … Continue reading The Midnight Library
Madam
Dear Reader, What better time to read an eerie gothic-style novel than during the strange, erratic springtime storms we had a few weeks ago in the UK? No prizes then for guessing that I was doing exactly that! While the rain lashed down and the wind howled around the house, I dived into Madam by … Continue reading Madam
