Moxie – book vs movie – or both!
I first read Moxie close to when it came out - I think it was early 2018. I can’t remember if I picked it up at YALC or just in Waterstones, but I remember thinking it looked good even if it wasn’t my usual sort of book. I don’t read a lot of contemporary, and this was possibly one of my first forays into what is now my favourite sort of contemporary - books with social commentary.

Book Tag – Book Adaptation Tag
I have been tagged by Ellie over at Eleanor Sophie Writes to do the Book Adaptation Tag. Thanks Ellie! I thought it was really intriguing and I was keen to give it a go. I have cheated though and used both movies and TV, as I am not the biggest movie watcher.

Book Tag – Isles of Storm and Sorrow Book Tag
Today I am celebrating the wonderful Isles of Storm and Sorrow series by Bex Hogan. As you may know, I love this series - Viper and Venom are honestly amazing, and I am SO HYPED for the finale book Vulture! And because I love Bex and this series, I wanted to start a book tag for it - I hope you enjoy it and share it with your friends.

The Ultimate Guide to YA Mysteries – Part 1
Over the last few years I have seen mystery books go from being few and far between in the YA world, to being everywhere! I grew up on mystery books like Nancy Drew and Point Crime, as well as being indoctrinated into adult crime books by my Mum and Grandma. I adore a good mystery, and was very excited about this development!

My F/F February TBR
So you may have heard of F/F February, hosted by the amazing Imi and Ellie. They put in a HUGE amount of effort each year to create loads of publicity for sapphic works, including their amazing masterlist. It celebrates all things sapphic and includes bi and pan characters.

End of Year Review – Looking back at 2020
It's hard to look back at 2020 and think anything other than "omg it's finally over," let's be honest. It's been a bit of a year. However, I do like to celebrate some of the good things about the year.
