Cover reveal // Courting Darkness by Robin LaFevers

Today I’m really excited to be working with Andersen Press to reveal the UK cover for a highly anticipated new fantasy novel. It’s the secret manuscript I’ve been dropping hints about for weeks on Instagram and I’m thrilled to finally be able to reveal it. Andersen kindly gifted me a free advance review copy of… Continue reading Cover reveal // Courting Darkness by Robin LaFevers

Nanowrimo

Why I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year

Yup, I said it, I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year. I’d be lying if  I said I didn’t want to and I almost caved on October 31st, but I made myself a promise. I know what happened last year, and I told myself I wouldn’t do NaNo this year because of it. NaNoWriMo – National… Continue reading Why I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year

TBRs and Wrap ups

April 2018 Wrap Up (Let’s just pretend I didn’t set myself a TBR, OK)

April was a pretty busy and exciting month for me. I visited my sister abroad, went to London, and spent the day at an agricultural festival. It was an energising few weeks, but I did not stick to my TBR. At all. In fact, I think at this point it would be better if we… Continue reading April 2018 Wrap Up (Let’s just pretend I didn’t set myself a TBR, OK)

April 2018 TBR (Or the month where I attempt to stay on track with my Goodreads goal)

This month is passing quickly already and I’m busy with work and travel. Last weekend I went to visit my sister in France and had a wonderful time. We walked along the beach, went to museums, and even visited Paris. That didn’t leave much time for reading, but I have the rest of the month… Continue reading April 2018 TBR (Or the month where I attempt to stay on track with my Goodreads goal)

Top Ten Tuesday: Books that inspire wanderlust

Book Hauls

(Belated) Christmas and January Book Haul

It seems like a long time since Christmas now, but I realised recently that I hadn’t hauled any of the books I got as presents. I don’t know how I managed to miss doing this, since the veritable mountain sitting on my bedside table includes a lot of the books I got for Christmas, but… Continue reading (Belated) Christmas and January Book Haul

Blogmas Day 6: Cities I’d visit for a snowy winter

For today’s blogmas post, I thought I’d write about some of the cities I’d visit if I wanted to enjoy a long and snowy winter. I’m not a massive fan of the cold (I’m a 100% certified summer child), but if there’s snow then it suddenly becomes worth the numb fingertips and freezing nose. So… Continue reading Blogmas Day 6: Cities I’d visit for a snowy winter

October and November 2017 Wrap Up

You might have noticed that my October wrap up was suspiciously absent last month. That’s because I started NaNoWriMo and suddenly any time for blogging, reading, and watching my beloved k-dramas completely evapourated. As a result, I’m doing my October and November wrap up all rolled into one. Since I only read one book in… Continue reading October and November 2017 Wrap Up
