Books I Want to Read July 2023
Another month, another careful curation of books I want to read! I’m not entirely sure why I have more of a desire to read in the summer months, I think it definitely stems from having summers off from school growing up, so I would try to devour every and any book before the school year returned with it’s exams and homework. Either way, I am not complaining because this month some highly anticipated releases will finally be on shelves. I do tend to lean more towards fiction and romance novels around the summer time as that seems to be when most of them are published. But of course, YA and…

Book Review – Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
I have found my favourite book of 2023. Yes we are only 6 months in, and some of my most anticipated reads of this year have not even been released yet, but I think I have found the one. This book… THIS BOOK… Oh my goodness the way it floored me completely and utterly from the second I read the first page until weeks, WEEKS, after I finished it. It’s been a while since I had a book hangover and this book did just that. The characters were just.. AH. The concept, the plot, the world, the dragons!!!! I know I tend to get overtly excited when talking about books…

Writing Journey | Overcoming Fear, Self-Doubt and Failures
Hii! I know, crazy I am posting this type of blog post on this lovely Monday. I just did a quick check – the last time I wrote a journal entry was September 2022… 9 months ago! I truly wish I could say in those 9 months, I wrote an amazing first draft that I am now editing away with the intention to query soon to hopefully have my book published… but that would be a HUGE lie. The excitement I have when opening up a fresh blog post knowing full well I will be diving into a writing update was long gone. I would back out, get too scared…

Book Review – House of Beating Wings by Olivia Wildenstein (Kingdom of Crows # 1)
I’ve run out of ways to start these book reviews without sounding like a broken record because this book was just… ahhhh… chef’s kiss times ten! I read it all in one sitting, despite half-way through I tried and I mean TRIED to stop myself from reading too quickly because I genuinely wanted to savour it but I just couldn’t. I had to keep reading and good Lord, I was not disappointed. From the plot that kept me on the edge of my seats, to the characters I kept shouting at out loud, to the romance that at times made me so sad yet so happy… how I don’t even…

Book Review – The Wedding Crasher by Mia Sosa
I may have found the cutest, funniest, and pretty steamy fake dating romance novel of the summer. BookTok did not disappoint in their recommendation yet again! It was a quick read, which was lovely especially if you are away on holiday or wanting a break from the hefty fantasy novels that leave you in a book slump. From the plot to the characters, this book made me laugh out loud, squeal, and put the book down flushed at the romance happening before me. The part I most enjoyed I would say is definitely the diversity in cultures and experiences that were woven throughout the entire book giving it a realness…

Book I Want to Read in February 2023
Happy February! 💕 I don’t know if it’s the fact that I decided not to put any pressure on myself this year when it came to the things I love like reading and blogging OR if it’s the fact that it has been blistering cold that all I want to do is be cozy inside with a book… OR even if it’s the fact that there are just too many good reads out these days, but whatever the reason, I have been reading every single day without fail and I am loving it! While January was looong and fairly bleak, the whole month felt anything but because of the reading…
