A couple of weeks ago I was invited onto a podcast called Books to Last Podcast. The basic premise of this was to choose 5 books that you would take with you to a desert island. If you’ve ever heard of the Desert Island Discs segment on BBC Radio. I want to say it’s Radio […]

The Book of Dust | Book Review
I know, I know! I am very late to the party with this review! The Book of Dust is the eagerly anticipated prequel from Philip Pullman. We all remember His Dark Materials, but now we have a prequel to set us up for Lyra’s journey. I will hold my hands up and say that I […]
Abby’s Promise Book Review
I was gifted Abby’s Promise as an ebook in order to review and take part in the blog tour that has been happening over the past week or so. The book focuses on a split narrative between Abby and her childhood crush/best friend Joseph Harrison. The book is set 8 years since the end of […]
Mourning Dove | Book Review
Mourning Dove is the newest novel by Claire Fullerton. Set in 1970s Memphis it focuses on family, and how the 70s was not a time to openly talk about the negatives. I found it fascinating that it showed a type of live not often spoken about. The genteel society of the Southern states is not […]
The Belch Park Field Trip Review
This is the first time that I’ve had the honour to take part in a blog book tour, and it is something I have wanted to do for a while. I mean what book blogger wouldn’t want to do this? I came across a Facebook post in one of the many bloggers groups asking for […]
Birthday Book Haul | What I bought
For my 26th birthday, I tried not to go too crazy with the treats for myself. For some reason, I think that because it’s my birthday I have unlimited funds. Unfortunately, that is really not the case! So last year I got myself a mini birthday book haul from some charity shops when I was […]
Big Little Lies Review
Big Little Lies was the second book chosen for our book club. Not something I had heard of before, but I was told that it has been made into a TV show. Although only available on Sky so not something I will get round to watching. We all decided on it together as it seemed […]
Samantha Shannon at Waterstone’s Sheffield
Back in March Waterstone’s Sheffield tweeted asking for bloggers in the local area to attend the Samantha Shannon book event. As an avid reader, and also as someone interested in the book world I quickly responded asking for more information. I was sent a DM asking for my email so all the information could be sent […]
Girlboss Book Review
It’s been a while since I decided to review a book (and it’s been a bit of a long time since I finished a book!) As quite a few of the bloggers in Sheffield enjoy reading, a couple of the girls decided to set up a book club and Girlboss was the first book chosen. It’s […]
The Girl On The Train: Book Review
I bought this after hearing a lot of good things about it last year and I thought for £4 why not? If I like it then it’s £4 well spent and if I find it to be lacking then it’s only £4 wasted. Honestly, I didn’t know much about the plot apart from the fact […]
