    What to expect from YALC 2019 – hints and tips, TBRs, queuing and more!

    23 July 2019 /

    This will be my fourth YALC, so I thought I’d share some bits and pieces from my experiences 🙂 The first year, I went on the Sunday because a friend of mine, Casey Obsidian, had a book for sale there.

    300+ blog follows!

    8 May 2019 /

    As you will know if you have been following me a while, I rarely post chatty posts! I’m all about trying to keep on top of my book reviews and unboxings hehe! And it’s a book blog, so I hope that you do like seeing so many reviews 😉  But I hit 300 followers recently and I am blown away.  I love you all! I feel very lucky to have found a little part of the internet to talk rubbish on. 😀 So I thought I’d do an AMA (ask me anything… within reason!) post on my blog as I want to interact with you all a little.  Tell me…
