Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s theme is: November 19: Changes In My Reading Life The way I… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday // 10 Ways my Reading Life Has Changed
*sings* It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas. It’s YALC season. YALC (the UK’s Young Adult Literature Convention) is in two days, which means (if you’re anything like me) you’ll be doing some last minute packing tonight, and trying to decide which outfit will help you melt less in the heat.… Continue reading Last minute packing for YALC // Make sure you’ve got everything you need for the big weekend
Thanks for agreeing to this Q&A! Most readers will know you as the author of Sorcerer to the Crown and, recently, The True Queen, which came out in March 2019. Tell us something about yourself that readers might not know? In my copious free time when I’m not writing, I work part-time as a corporate… Continue reading Q&A with Zen Cho // Regency era literature and changing as a writer
Yes, friends, I can’t believe it either. I’ve been nominated four UKYABAs and I am actually deceased. The UKYABAs, or UK Young Adult Book Awards, are annual YA blogging awards, where you can nominate/vote for UK bloggers who deserve recognition for their content and work in the book community. These are the categories for nominations:… Continue reading The UKYABAs // I’m nominated for four awards?!
I read five books in March, and I don’t think that’s too bad since one of them was 850 pages and I was also busy almost every weekend. But, I did kind of completely ignore my TBR. Whoops. But although I only read one (yikes) of the books I’d set out in my TBR, I’m… Continue reading March 2019 Wrap Up // I basically ignored my TBR and I’m not sorry
I’m way behind in posting this haul, but I wanted to share some of the books I got in February. I got six books in total and one of the most exciting for me was The Near Witch, because I’ve been looking forward to its re-release for ages. I was also sent Summer Bird Blue by… Continue reading Feb 2019 Book Haul // Sapphic stories and sprayed edges
February seemed to be over before it had barely begun. I didn’t manage to read that many books because I spent the last two weeks of the month reading the giant that is The Priory of the Orange Tree. I finished it at the beginning of March so it’ll be in my March wrap up,… Continue reading February 2019 wrap up // F/F Feb and reading The Priory of the Orange Tree
The Friday 56 is a weekly blog meme hosted by Freda’s Voice. The idea is to share an excerpt from a book you’ve been reading every Friday, to promote the book or simply just to showcase your current read! Rules: *Grab a book, any book. *Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader (If you… Continue reading The Friday 56: The Caged Queen
July is always a big month for books because three days of YALC is enough to ensure I come home with a suitcase full of books. And guys. This is definitely my biggest haul of 2018, but it might also be my biggest book haul…ever? I’ve counted them up and in total, I hauled 19… Continue reading July/YALC 2018 book haul // Biggest book haul of the year
July was fun, exciting, and hot. Summer is my favourite season of the year, and July always ends up being one of my favourite months. This month was no different. I only read four books this month because I was taking part in Tome Topple, the aim of which was to read 500+ page books,… Continue reading July 2018 Wrap Up // Readathons, YALC, and learning how to contour my face
