My review I did not expect to love this book as much as I did, or for it to affect me so much. Obviously this is a sensitive subject, and I was hesitant to pick it up initially because of the possibility it wasn't handled in the best way, but I found it to be very respectful. This book stayed with me for a long time after I read it, and I foun

Hi everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, which is hosted over at  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is a freebie, and I decided to talk about my Top Ten Popular Authors I Haven't Read Anything From. 1. George R.R. Martin For the longest time, I was hugely intimidated by his books, but now that I own some of them I am pressuring myself to read them. 2. Sarah J. Maas It feels like everyone in the book blogging community is a fan of Sarah's works, and I just haven't gotten to them yet! 3. Leigh Bardugo I honestly thought I would read her Grisha trilogy soon, but the time has passed and she is already out with a new book! 4. Lauren Oliver I have owned the Delirium trilogy for so long already. 5. Lauren Kate The fact that they are making a film out of Fallen is making me want to get to her books sooner. 6. Laini Taylor Laini has a cult following, and maybe that's why I haven't read Daughter of Smoke and B

I am so sorry again for the lateness! School has just taken over my life at the moment and I haven't been as organised. Hi everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, which is hosted over at  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR. 1.  Shaming the Devil by Melina Marchetta This book just sounds right up my street and I have heard nothing but great things about Marchetta's writing. 2.  Things About Love by Jackson Pearce I finally read As You Wish a couple of days ago, and I really want to read this short story in the world too! 3.  Untitled (The Wicked Powers #1) by Cassandra Clare I am always up for a new Cassandra Clare novel. 4.  Summer Days and Summer Nights edited by Stephanie Perkins I loved My True Love Gave To Me, so obviously I want to read a summer version! 5.  A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James I am slowly trying to make it a habit of reading the Man B

More mini reviews,because they're so fun! The Heartbreakers by Ali Novak Publisher/Year: August 4th 2015 Sourcebooks Fire Source/Format: e-arc | NetGalley (Thanks NetGalley/Sourcebooks Fire!) Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion. When this was originally started on Wattpad, I read it and loved it, so of course I requested it on NetGalley. I am pleased for Ali that she got a publishing deal for this book, as it is cute, but sadly there isn't much more to it. The plot was predictable, and while I liked all the characters, none of them were that interesting. I did enjoy the whole music/band storyline and it was nice to read it again because it had been a while, but it wasn't anything special, sadly. It's About Love by Steven Camden Publisher/Year: August 4th 2015 HarperCollins Children's Source/Format: e-arc | NetGalley (Thanks NetGalley/HarperCo

Rating: 4 stars out of 5 I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion. *This review may contain spoilers!* Synopsis Grace and Tippi are twins – conjoined twins.  And their lives are about to change. No longer able to afford homeschooling, they must venture into the world – a world of stares, sneers and cruelty. Will they find more than that at school? Can they find real friends? And what about love? But what neither Grace or Tippi realises is that a heart-wrenching decision lies ahead. A decision that could tear them apart. One that will change their lives even more than they ever imagined… My review I have to be honest, when I first realised that this book was written in verse, I was apprehensive as this would

Hi everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, which is hosted over at  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is Top Ten 2015 Releases I Meant To Get To But Didn't. 1.  All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven This book has received so much praise, and a 4.2 rating on Goodreads is incredibly impressive! 2.  A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas I bought this very soon after it came out with every intention of reading it shortly after, but then I changed my mind and decided to read Maas' other series first. 3.  Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone: Illustrated edition by J.K. Rowling Part of me could not resist the temptation to read this straight after I received it on Christmas, but the other part of me won that said I should savour it. 4.  Under My Skin by James Dawson When I saw this for £1 in a charity shop, I snatched it up right away but just haven't gotten round to reading it yet. 5.  Reawakened by Colleen Ho
