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 […]
Newquay Book Haul
I have this problem where I can’t seem to stop myself from buying books, especially when it’s books that I’ve been wanting to read and they are on offer or not at that full price. Even though I took a few books on holiday with me I still couldn’t help myself. I am impressed that […]
March Favourites!
Yes I am the person who will always post their last month’s favourites post halfway through the next month (or nearly at the end of the next month)! I mean at least I definitely know what it was that I liked during the last month and I don’t have to decide before it ends and […]
When Will The Nightmare End?!
I officially have 8 days to finish my dissertation for it’s final version and I have 8 books to read. I’m not feeling very optimistic about this venture right about now. I want to have it finished for Sunday but with the amount of work I have currently I will be lucky to get it […]
