There are some books that have stuck with my from my teenage years, and others I've read recently that I wish had been around when I was growing up. Being able to read about teenagers struggling with the same things you do, and seeing positive representation in books is so important (and I'll forever be … Continue reading Books I’d recommend to teens | Top 3

Review: Muse of Nightmares – Laini Taylor
You may remember not too long ago I posted a review of Strange the Dreamer...well, Muse of Nightmares is the much-anticipated sequel and I was SO excited when it arrived in the mail from Hachette for me! I adored Strange and was really keen to jump in to this one...so keen, in fact, that I … Continue reading Review: Muse of Nightmares – Laini Taylor
Review: A Thousand Perfect Notes – C.G. Drews
I'll be honest, I dove in to this book wondering if it would be any good. I'd seen it around bookstagram a lot, but it's written by a bookstagrammer/blogger (@paperfury) which made me wonder if I saw it around a lot because it was genuinely good, or because it was written by someone with over … Continue reading Review: A Thousand Perfect Notes – C.G. Drews
Review: What If It’s Us? – Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera
After reading Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda earlier in the year, I fell in love with Albertalli's storytelling and style. So naturally, I jumped at the chance to grab a review copy of this gorgeous book from Simon & Schuster's publicity team (thank you!). They're also the team behind The Book Ninja, which I … Continue reading Review: What If It’s Us? – Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera

Stalking Jack the Ripper follows Audrey-Rose Wadsworth, daughter of … Continue reading Review: Stalking Jack The Ripper – Kerri Maniscalco
Review: All the Bright Places – Jennifer Niven
Ah yes, another total Bookstagram buy (does it count as a buy if you win it though?) which I finished in 3 or 4 days in an attempt to get my May reading list looking a bit less miserable! The book follows the story of Violet Markey, whose sister died in a car accident while … Continue reading Review: All the Bright Places – Jennifer Niven
Review: Everything, Everything – Nicola Yoon
I've been going hard with the YA this year because they're just such easy books to fall in to at the end of a long and stressful day at work! Everything, everything follows the life of Maddie, a teenager who suffers from SCID which essentially makes her 'allergic to the world'. For the most part, … Continue reading Review: Everything, Everything – Nicola Yoon
February Wrap Up

I also put my first book down for this year...I'm still undecided if I'll pick it back up. Full story below 😉 So, without further ado, here's a little wrap up of … Continue reading February Wrap Up
