Book review and Launch of Outside by Sarah Ann Juckes. Last night I was lucky enough to go to the launch of this wonderful book. I initially downloaded it as an ARC from Netgalley because of the description. Something dark and mysterious with hints of The Room was right up my alley. Halfway through reading […]
Book Review. Author- Holly Bourne Title- Are we all Lemmings and Snowflakes Publisher- Usbourne I haven’t actually read any Holly Bourne before although I always meant to.

Book Review- The Island by M.A Bennett I was given an advanced copy of this by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review and I can honestly say I am glad I didn’t pay for it. I actually read it a few weeks ago but it’s taken me this long to write a review because […]
