I've been following Bloomsbury Ed on Twitter for a while and they do an awesome thing on a Friday... they give away a prize. Good old #freebiefriday. I'm one of these people who'll RT something, because hell I'm not losing out on anything but I generally NEVER win. So I RT'd their tweet and thought … Continue reading I won a prize?

Book blog: Alwyn Hamilton
Adventure filled, badass main character and daringly exciting! Recently in my blue haul I talked about Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton.

BOOKBLOG: Holly Bourne
I recently finished the third installment of Holly Bourne's Spinster Club/Normal Series trilogy and it was amazing.

BOOK BLOG: The King of Rats
At this years YALC (which I wasn't lucky enough to attend) it was confirmed that Melinda Salisbury was releasing a new short story, a companion to the Sin Eater's Faughter trilogy, called The King of Rats. Naturally as I wasn't there I was gutted. I was going to miss out. I pestered and pestered both Mel … Continue reading BOOK BLOG: The King of Rats
BOOKBLOG: Picture books

I think a lot of KS2 teachers are afraid of picture books, but there really is nothing to be afraid of. My Year 6 children the past … Continue reading BOOKBLOG: Picture books

BOOKBLOG: Carrie Hope Fletcher
Beautifully written, heart-warming and made me ugly cry. Just from the cover you can see that this is a love story. It's a love story like none other. The premise is 'Evie Snow has died and her soul is too heavy to pass through to the other side. So she has to rid herself of the … Continue reading BOOKBLOG: Carrie Hope Fletcher
The BFG
I grew up reading Roald Dahl and one of my favourites was absolutely The BFG. When I found out there was going to be a live action film version, I was a little worried. I always worry when there are going to the live action versions of books/animated films I love (Beauty and the Beast … Continue reading The BFG
MISS! MISS! MISS!
"Stop missing me, I'm right here" I'm incredibly proud of where I am in my life. I have a job that I love and I am working towards a career that I believe I was born to do. It hasn't been an easy ride. I was not on this career path for quite a while. … Continue reading MISS! MISS! MISS!
