Woah. It's the end of February already? HOW. DID. THAT. HAPPEN. February was a wonderful bookish month for me thanks to half term. I got SO MUCH reading done in half term (I think my grand total was 7 books in half term in the end!) So here we go... I'm currently reading... NOTHING. I've … Continue reading February wrap up!

The Night Spinner Launch
I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch part of The Night Spinner, the new and final book in the Dreamsnatcher series, in London and I had a total whale of a time! It was so incredible to finally get to meet Abi and talk to her about her books! I've been a … Continue reading The Night Spinner Launch
BOOKBLOG: JEANNE WILLIS, JARVIS
Poles Apart: Fun and beautifully illustrated! Perfect for the classroom! I spotted this a few weeks ago in Waterstones Newcastle but didn't pick it up at the time so when it came to buying it again I had totally forgotten what it was! In fly the amazing friends of twitter I have! They came to my … Continue reading BOOKBLOG: JEANNE WILLIS, JARVIS
BOOKBLOG: Juno Dawson
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
3 stars and above, please
Welcome to guest blog number 2, this time coming from my wonderful friend Kelly - This Northern Gal (her details are at the bottom of this blog post!). I’m not a very good book-worm, or book-blogger for that matter. I think Shakespeare is kind of over rated, and way too overvalued in English schooling. I … Continue reading 3 stars and above, please

Thank you so much Sarah from Penguin Children's Dept for sending me a copy! "Hello! My name is Edie. I am EVER so helpful. … Continue reading BOOK BLOG: Sophy Henn
BOOK BLOG: Alwyn Hamilton 2
Traitor To The Throne: fast paced, heart wrenching, glorious. For those of you who haven't read Rebel of the Sands (Alwyn's first book) you can find my review here (Book blog: Alwyn Hamilton). Important to read that before this! As soon as I had finished Rebel I knew I needed the second book and now … Continue reading BOOK BLOG: Alwyn Hamilton 2
Ronald the Rhino!
As you all know, I am a huge fan of Twinkl and when I heard they were starting to come out with their own stories I knew I had to give them a look! Man do I wish they had more coming out because this first one is WONDERFUL. I came across the blog post … Continue reading Ronald the Rhino!
Book tasting…
Book tasting? What? Eating books? How can you be suggesting something so ridiculous? NO. Not that kind of tasting. A bit like wine tasting... you get a taste of new wine (or books in this case) before you commit to them. You get a whole host of wines (or books) to look at and you … Continue reading Book tasting…
It All Started In September…
Welcome to the first of many fortnightly guest blogs! The first comes from one of my most recent twitter pals Jack. Without further ado... It started in September. Sitting at a forty-five-degree angle in a hospital bed, having recently undergone the most uncomfortable seven minutes of my life to date. I won’t go into too … Continue reading It All Started In September…
