#CoverReveal: SUGAR SPELLS by Lola Dodge

Happy Friday! I’m back in my own home! Yay! I’ve just spent two weeks travelling around Ireland and Northern Ireland with the boyfriend for my birthday. Before that, I was in Ireland for work. And tomorrow…I’m going away again, this time accompanying the boyfriend so he can be there when his niece is born on Monday (or Tuesday…you never know with births, even induced ones…). Anyway, the reason we are all gathered here today is for the reveal of the cover for Sugar Spells, the second book in Lola Dodge’s The Spellwork Syndicate series. I loved the cover for the first book, Deadly Sweet, […]

#GuestPost: 3 Good Reasons Why You Should Read More Novels

Every now and then an article or study is released which suggests that a really large proportion of the population never read a book from cover to cover over the course of their adult lives.

#BookReview: THE SUPERVILLAIN AND ME by Danielle Banas

Superheroes have been having an amazing decade.

Blegh.) So why not have more superhero movies? I’m definitely down for it, which is why I was excited to get a copy of The Supervillain and Me, Danielle Banas’ debut novel. I really liked the idea of superheroes being fairly common and with better and worse abilities. (Lol at Fish Boy.) Seeing them be normal people as well, with families and everyday responsibilities, […]

#BookReview + #Giveaway: KISS OF THE ROYAL by Lindsey Duga

I had high hopes for this book based on the blurb (and the cover, to be honest). At first, I started to think that maybe my hopes were a bit too high, as while I liked the material being covered in the first few chapters, it felt a bit dry and info-dumpy. Plus, I was struggling to connect with Ivy and the other Royals. But that slowly started to change when Zach showed up. Possibly my favourite thing about this book, he was not at all what I expected him to be. I suppose I was expecting a cocky type […]
