REVIEW: The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas
I’ve been a very big fan of Rachael Lucas’s books ever since I read Sealed With A Kiss and fell in love with it. That meant I got super excited when I heard that Rachael was working on a YA novel. I was very lucky to get to read an early chapter of The StateRead More
Books Are An Immeasurable Pleasure | A Sonnet
As you might have seen, I am currently in my first year of Creative Writing A Level, which I love. It challenges me and pushes me to try out new things, and one of these things back last year was a sonnet. Being the Shakespeare and Sir Philip Sidney nerd I am, I love sonnets.Read More

Unconventional is told from the perspective of Lexi Angelo, who has grown up helping her dad with his comic convention business.Read More
A Life Update | Writing, travelling, baby guinea pigs
Hi, everyone! It seems like it’s been a very long time since I last sat down to write an update post or something a bit more informal and chatty. I thought I should probably catch you up on everything that’s been going on, especially as I have lots of blog posts planned for the nextRead More
EXCLUSIVE COVER REVEAL: Girlhood by Cat Clarke
