The Surprising Power Of A Book Club!

August 18, 2019August 19, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! I love my friends! In honour of the recent release of The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling by Wei Chim, I am creating this post to discuss my appreciation for dumplings and my friends, especially over the past three days. This weekend (inclusive of Friday) has been an amazing one. I have seen my friends three days in a row and my productivity has been insane! Friday 16th August (Dinner) The YA Room (@theyaroom on Twitter & […]

August 12, 2019August 13, 2019

Disclaimer: I received this novel from Bloomsbury publishing as an arc in exchange for a review. once & future was published on 3rd of June 2019. Heyo Bookaholics! What do we want? A gender-bent King Arthur retelling! When do we want it? Like right now!! You can actually have it!! If you follow me on Twitter or have read my August TBR you would already have a taste of what I think about this novel (spoiler: I think it’s f*cking […]

Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu | Spoilery Review

August 5, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Malec are back! Oh my gosh, I really do not know where to start with this review because I didn’t even know if I could make it through this novel without breaking down into a giant ball of feels! Let me just say that if you want to read this novel, please read it before reading Queen of Air and Darkness! I am saying this because there is another war in QoAaD and it confuses the timelines so so […]

July Wrap-Up 2019

August 3, 2019August 3, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Well, these posts are always fun! Books I Read! In July I planned to continue with my Rainbow Readathon from June, which lead to me having six books on my July TBR which is just ridiculous. I knew I wasn’t going to read all the books, but I didn’t think I’d fail so spectacularly! Nevertheless, I managed to read 2.5 novels *celebration emojis* *finger guns* Which is a nice achievement for me considering I did spend most of my […]

Someday by David Leviathan | Spoiler Book Review

July 15, 2019July 23, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! This book took me a whole month to finish…Why?! SPOILERS AHEAD! If you want to read, this may not make sense unless you’ve read Every day by David Leviathan, the first book in this trilogy. Someday is the third book in the Every Day series, and the sequel to the first novel Every day. This is because the second novel, Another day is a retelling of Every day but in Rhiannon’s point of view. There is also a […]

Sh*t Readers Say (Relatable)!

July 14, 2019July 14, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Because I know you will all relate… 1. “I Can’t Wait To Read This.” Every time a reader picks up a new book or goes to a book launch, the first thing that comes out of their mouth when talking about the book is this. We are all excited to read the book but we all know that the book will never get read in the near future and in reality we just have nothing else to say […]

Meet The Character – Jaz #Realise (SW#31)

July 10, 2019July 10, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Meet the character! I have been trying to write as much as I can lately. Working in my spare time between tasks at work, at night, in the morning, during lunch, etc. whenever I can, I try to write. I really love this character. Honestly, I think the fact that I went into the story trying to make her a character that everyone will hate, has actually enhanced her more and given me more to work with because […]

July TBR 2019

July 8, 2019July 8, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Think of July as an extended version of June. Like June but with 61 days! I’ve posted my TBR for June early last month and I planned to read an unrealistic 8 or so books. I knew it was never going to work out, but I tried anyway and managed to read 3.5 books. This month I am continuing that TBR (because I’m committed af) but also ambitious because, in addition to the books photographed, I have 2 […]

June Monthly Wrap Up!

July 8, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! June has been a blast (but like a messy blast)! I haven’t done a wrap-up post in a long time and I’m super keen to be posting this one today! Aside from the fact that this was meant to be posted yesterday (Saturday), and it is 11 pm on a Sunday, but better late than never as I’d say. I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend and that you enjoy this send off to June x Books I […]

Hitting 20k on my WIP (#Realise) & Sharing a Snippet! (SW#30)

July 4, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Holy Sh*tballs I Finally Reached 20k! HAAAIIIII!!! I am in very very high spirits today 🙂 Who knew taking a day off of work after a stressful week would be just what the doctor ordered?! Well, I didn’t, but I feel amazing now. I hope you didn’t think that because I didn’t post yesterday that I was neglecting another Storytime because I’m not. I can’t do that when I knew that today was going to be the day […]
