#Interview + #Excerpt: Jeffe Kennedy, author of THE ORCHID THRONE, on dreams, dresses, and drafting

Danger, divine magic, and desire come together in this new fantasy from Jeffe Kennedy that drew me in with rebellions and magical dresses. This was a book I could just about sink into, losing myself to the political scheming, bloody battles, and that delicious banter I crave in my romances. So I was absolutely thrilled with the opportunity to ask Jeffe a few questions about some aspects of the book that really spoke to me as I began reading, as well as how she manages to keep everything in order while being an absolute boss of an author! Plus, don’t […]

#BookReview + #Interview: LOVE, AND OTHER THINGS TO LIVE FOR by Louise Leverett

#BookReview + #Interview: LOVE, AND OTHER THINGS TO LIVE FOR by Louise Leverett

Reading Love, and Other Things to Live For was like reading about myself. In this story, we meet Jess, a 20-something woman living in London who has experienced a recent breakup while also trying to figure out her life. SOUNDS FAMILIAR. I felt like a mirror was being held up to my face, forcing me to examine some of my recent behaviours. I could recognise my coping mechanisms through the months following my breakup in September last year. Everything Jess was doing, I’d done at some point. It was almost painful to recognise her struggles. But it was also quite healing. […]

#BookReview: THE RAGING ONES by Krista and Becca Ritchie, plus a Q&A on Ice Cream and Death

#BookReview: THE RAGING ONES by Krista and Becca Ritchie, plus a Q&A on Ice Cream and Death

I feel like sharing that I spent the whole first chapter with Franny with this in my head: And now it’s in your head! Enjoy!!!!!!! Let’s start off with the concept. In this world, people know when they’re going to die. IDs show both birth date and death date. You’re able to plan ahead, decide where, and to some extent, how you die. You can have a big party leading up to the day, then go quietly in bed, taking precautions to make sure everything is peaceful and easy. I really liked this idea. I mean, imagine how well you […]

#Interview: Derek Milman, author of SCREAM ALL NIGHT, on horror films and writing his YA debut

Happy release week to Scream All Night by Derek Milman! Derek brings his experiences in acting and playwriting to the YA scene with a quirky, fun novel about a teenager who is sucked back into the world of horror filmmaking that he fought so hard to escape from. This book is fun and so, so, SO weird at times, but in the best possible way. I asked Derek a few questions about the movie world, writing, and his favourite movie night snacks! Q&A with Derek Can you summarise your book in 10 words? A lost boy returns home to figure […]

#Interview: Bryony Mathew talks about encouraging girls’ interests in STEM and her Kickstarter for BLUE BROCCOLI AND NANOBOTS!

#Interview: Bryony Mathew talks about encouraging girls’ interests in STEM and her Kickstarter for BLUE BROCCOLI AND NANOBOTS!

I love science. Biology was my favourite subject in school, and I had amazing teachers growing up that helped encourage this love (except for my one chemistry teacher…>_>). But, despite quickly becoming the family computer expert, I never really considered technology as a career path, and I was also pushed to safer careers when I did think about going into medicine. And yet, after doing an interesting but ultimately wrong for me subject at university, I ended up in IT anyway! I sometimes wonder what my life would have been like if the ICT subject at school wasn’t a boy’s […]
