Edit Dec 2016 (spoilers): So there's been a lot of rumbling about how this book is ableist and stuff and I think that's probably why I had problems with the end of it, it felt like such a cop out for her to not be allergic to everything, for it to be due to her … Continue reading Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon

September Wrap Up
September has been, in a word, hellish. As happens every year, people have left my work to go back to uni, but on top of that a couple members of regular staff have left. I have a seasonal job so by now things should be beginning to slow down with customers, but it isn't and … Continue reading September Wrap Up
The Summer Reader Book Tag
Thank you to Kayla for the tag! I know it's no longer summer but you know, here we are. I'm not going to tag anyone because, well, it's Autumn. Lemonade: Pick a book that started off bitter but got better I'm going to take this as the themes were bitter rather than the book itself … Continue reading The Summer Reader Book Tag
Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella
This was a cute story about anxiety and being British basically. I haven't read anything Sophie Kinsella but when I saw she did a YA novel I thought "oooooooooh". Audrey has really bad anxiety and has had to take time out of school after a really bad incident. She wears sunglasses all the time … Continue reading Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella
All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
This was a book I eventually intended to read but the library got it for me and so I read it a lot earlier than I would've. This is on the Zoella Book Club so has been gaining a lot of attention as of late, which is nothing but good really. The Zoella book club … Continue reading All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
This is a YA High Fantasy so of course it was on my radar. I'd seen a lot of criticisms of this book saying that it isn't a great book and the series gets much better after this one but I thought it wasn't that bad actually and quite enjoyed it. After a bit of … Continue reading Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes

The Beauty and the Beast Book Tag
Thank you to Casey for the tag! Beauty and The Beast is one of my fave Disney movies of all time so I'm all over this tag. 1. “TALE AS OLD AS TIME” – A POPULAR THEME, TROPE OR SETTING YOU WILL NEVER GET BORED OF READING. Probably friends to lovers, it's so lame but … Continue reading The Beauty and the Beast Book Tag
City of heavenly fire by Cassandra Clare
This was honestly such a fantastic end the the series. I felt emotional, happy, exhausted, so many different feelings. The ending was so different and original to any way this could have ended, or at least from the books I've read so far. Of course there was some loopholes that they managed to get themselves … Continue reading City of heavenly fire by Cassandra Clare
Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
I honestly don't even know where to start with this review. I'm still reeling after finishing EoS and now I have to wait a year for the next instalment. I hate myself for reading this so quickly, less than 2 days, and I'm just sitting here like "CURSE YOU SJM". Once again Sarah J. Maas … Continue reading Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
