Hello! I've given the blog a spruce with a new design and header, I hope you like it. Let me know what you think! Today's review is of a gritty contemporary that I definitely recommend. Read on to find out why!  Title:  We Are Young Author:  Cat Clarke Series:   n/a Pages:   384 Publisher:  Quercus Books Date of Publication:  3rd May, 2018 Source:  Bought Synopsis from Goodreads: On the same night Evan's mother marries local radio DJ 'Breakfast Tim', Evan's brand-new step-brother Lewis is found unconscious and terribly injured, the only survivor of a horrific car crash.

With the help of her journalist father, Harry, she decides to find out what really happened that night. As Evan delves deeper into the lives of the three teenagers who died in the cra...

Good morning! I have finally finished my degree (woohoo!) and so I (should) have all the time in the world for reading and blogging now!

Hello everyone! Long time no speak (my own fault for trying to relaunch my blog a month before my dissertation was due and I had to start revising for finals...) so I hope you are all well! I've got a review of a great book for you today. Do you need to escape from the stress of revision or busy lives? Then this book is perfect for you! Here's why...

Hello! Welcome to my appreciation post for one of my favourite series - The Illuminae Files ! I'm going to try and keep it non-spoilery but be cautious if you've only read Illuminae  and/or Gemina .  THE FACTS: Series title: The Illuminae Files Series authors: Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff Publisher: Rock the Boat Series completion date: 13th March, 2018 This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broke...

Hello! As it's 1st April today, I thought I would do a quick March wrap up post! I'll start with the books I read this month: I reread Illuminae and Gemina so that I would be fully prepared for Obsidio , all by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, which came out this month! They were just as good, if not better the second time around.  Then I read Obsidio  and it was everything I wanted it to be from the finale of this amazing series.  Keep an eye out this week for a series review.  Then I read In Paris With You by Clementine Beauvais.  I was super excited for this book, which is out in June, as I was a huge fan of another of her books,  Piglettes , which came out last year. However this book was totally different - it's a verse novel set in Paris, very romantic - and I didn't enjoy it much at all. I'll be posting a full review nearer the time of publication, but I'm sad to say this wasn't for me.  However, I then read Scythe  by Ne...

Hello! Today I have a review and giveaway for you guys! I was lucky enough to meet Emily Suvada this week, and so I've got a signed copy of This Mortal Coil to give away today!

The closer she gets, the more she finds herself at risk from Cartaxus, a shadowy or...

I'm back from uni for the Easter holidays so I thought I would share what I'll be reading over the break. I'm currently reading... OBSIDIO by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff I've been excited for this for sooo long. I preordered it back in April and it's finally here! I absolutely love this series; it's one of my favourites and I'll be writing a fuller post about it when I've finished Obsidio so keep an eye out for that. But if you haven't read these yet then I really recommend you get on it! After this I shall be reading (in no particular order)... IN PARIS WITH YOU by Clementine Beauvais I read Clementine's first book  Piglettes  over the summer and absolutely loved it so I can't wait to read this new one! It's a verse novel set in Paris, when two people meet again after ten years apart and revive their relationship. I haven't read a verse novel in a long time and who can turn down a Parisian romance?!  GOO...
