Heyo Bookaholics! Only a little spook this October! While just about everyone else but me loves the spooky season, I’ve never been one to celebrate it. Top it off with the fact that I can’t stand horror movies and I’m scared of the dark and you have someone who doesn’t look at her October TBR much differently from any other month. In fact, this year is the only year thus far in my 20 years of what we call life, […]

Heyo Bookaholics! Here’s to writing! I might as well change this series name to Writing Wednesday because, by this point, all I ever talk about is my current WIP, Realise and my multiple existential crises, but mostly Realise. So last week I spoke about my big goals to maybe finish my current WIP #Realise by the start of NaNoWriMo. We all know it’s not happening because I’ve currently been up watching tik-toks for 2 hours with intentions to do homework when […]

Heyo Bookaholics! There may be spoilers ahead! I picked up Monuments as it was The YA Room’s book club pick for the month of September. I had met the author, Will Kostakis, and really liked listening to him talk. He rambled about writing, identity and being an author which just made me want to work harder at writing to feel what he was describing. Blurb: All 16-year-old Connor is trying to do is avoid his ex-best friend when he stumbles […]

Heyo Bookaholics! I’m finally giving you a list! My weekend has been hectic, so I decided for this week that I’d keep the post light and fun by talking about some contemporary young adult novels that I have absolutely fallen in love with! I have compiled a short-list of 5 contemporary YA books that I consider amazing must-reads. I have written reviews for 4/5 of these novels and those can be found by clicking the link just below the title […]

Heyo Bookaholics! I still can’t believe I’ve finished this book… I don’t know how to review this. Godsgrave is such a novel that you have to just devour and take in with everything you have. Anything Jay Kristoff writes is beautiful, dangerous and so utterly addictive. Blurb: Assassin Mia Corvere has found her place among the Blades of Our Lady of Blessed Murder, but many in the Red Church ministry think she’s far from earned it. Plying her bloody trade […]

Heyo Bookaholics! September has been THE BEST reading month thus far! I have so much to talk about today! I have left this post till Sunday on purpose. So much has happened this month that I didn’t even realise it was the end of September until I had an event scheduled on the 24th and became hyperaware of the time. I’ve done enough today to be happy with my progress, and certainly enough this month to make me proud of the […]

Heyo Bookaholics! Absolutely perfect and positive! Aghjsidsl!!!! Heartstopper is everything my heart wants, needs and yearns for. This comic series is so very queer, positive Blurb Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more…? Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn’t been too great, but at least he’s not being […]

Heyo Bookaholics! Just the push I needed… Here’s the thing… I started Godsgrave but never finished it, putting it down at about one-third of the way in. Godsgrave is the sequel to and second book in the Nevernight series. It is an adult novel written by Jay Kristoff, an Australian author also known for his collaborative work in writing the best-selling Illuminae Files with fellow Aussie, Amie Kaufman. The Nevernight series is a beefy one with a shit-ton of world-building, […]

Heyo Bookaholics! You never really know what’s coming with this novel. I kept thinking about that one quote from the book launch where Astrid, prompted by a Harry Potter loving Amie Kaufman, said that Four Dead Queens is a novel about a “Slytherin dragging a Hufflepuff on an adventure”. Blurb: Seventeen-year-old Keralie Corrington may seem harmless, but in fact, she’s one of Quadara’s most skilled thieves and a liar. Varin, on the other hand, is an honest, upstanding citizen of […]

Heyo Bookaholics! I feel like I’m writing a Buzzfeed article (hehe)! I had this totally original idea to match up books that I’ve read to people’s star/ zodiac signs. I have read and reviewed all the books mentioned in this post, so if you’d like to read the review prior to the book, they will all be linked in this post. CAPRICORN(December 22 – January 19) Capricorns are awesome. Yes, I am a Capricorn and honestly, nothing defines a Capricorn […]
