Alice Oseman is the Queen of YA Contemporary
I’ve read a good deal of YA contemporary in my time. (No, I am not a fifty year old man. Yes, I just said ‘in my time’. I am chock full of multitudes. Work with me here.) I’ve read the veritable modern classic, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I’ve read the incredibly important book, … Continue reading Alice Oseman is the Queen of YA Contemporary
I read 3 books in 1 day
Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin, In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan, and Watch Over Me by Nina Lacour. No spoilers. I promise. You've read the title, you understand how far my false sense of superiority over reading fast, and being able to take in and enjoy books while reading fast is going. But … Continue reading I read 3 books in 1 day
The Worst Books of this Quarter [Jan, Feb, March and April]
I read a lot of books, which means I end up reading a lot of bad ones. These aren't all the bad books that I read in the last few months, but they are the absolute worst ones.

As it becomes painfully … Continue reading Wrap Up – January ’21

Partially because I read some really bad books, partially because I read some really long books and definitely because I read books that were bad … Continue reading Wrap Up – September ’20
Finally Fall Book Tag
My first ever tag! This really is a momentous occasion. Autumn and winter are definitely my favourite seasons. The colours, the warm drinks, the extra reading time from being inside that just is already a thing because of coronavirus. Small victories? Anyway, this tag was created by Tall Tales over on YouTube. 1. In fall, … Continue reading Finally Fall Book Tag
Wrap Up – August’ 20
Somehow, amidst a global pandemic and the strange experience of virtual school, I've managed to keep up that pesky little reading and book buying habit. Am I surprised? No, not really. I'd probably manage to keep reading during the zombie apocalypse (I mean, if you think about it we're technically in the middle of an … Continue reading Wrap Up – August’ 20
