Margot and Me: heartbreaking, soul filled and beautiful. The first I heard of Juno Dawson was when I read the Crisis 'I'll Be Home For Christmas' short story anthology and I absolutely loved her short story about a Geordie boy (see my review here: BOOKBLOG: Tom Becker) and as soon as I heard there was a … Continue reading BOOKBLOG: Juno Dawson

Ah, here we are again... after what seems like the toughest 7 weeks of my working career (I have no idea why, this half term just felt ROUGH) we have reached half term. Half term is a funny time for me, I am so bad at switching off and I spend a lot of it … Continue reading Half term… happiness

#ViewFromABook
One of my favourite hashtags on twitter is #ViewFromABook. I love seeing what people are up to as they're reading. I'm not sure where it started or how it came into my life but I am pretty glad it is! My views from a book are generally Starbucks, on a bus or on a metro … Continue reading #ViewFromABook
