I love Twitter, I really do. Some of my favourite books in recent years were ones I picked up because people were raving about them, or I followed the author on Twitter and became interested in their writing. If you’re looking for a community, guarantee you’ll find one on there, just by looking at hashtagsContinueContinue reading “Why My Current Favourite Book Is A Twitter Thread”

The Wicker King – K. Ancrum [Books]
Received this as a gift from my lovely boyfriend, because he heard me raving about The Wicked King (which he got me for Valentine’s Day) and got confused. But this was on my wishlist, so I still really wanted to read it. And, you know what? I loved it. August and Jack have been best friends forContinueContinue reading “The Wicker King – K.

Down the TBR hole #3
Originally posted on Becky's Book Blog:
I’ve been really happy with how these have turned out so far. Though I haven’t managed to get rid of too many books off my TBR, it has given me the kick I needed to start picking some books up that I’ve had on there for far too…
In Lieu of Underwear, A Vampire Story: Chapter 1
Originally posted on VAMPIRE FICTION YOU WON'T HATE:
Finally, some fiction from me! This begins the first chapter of a serial novel I’m going to be winging. I don’t know how often I will actually update it, but at this point, I hope to do so once a month. Contents: Mature language, cigarettes, nudity,…
Damn Fine Story – Chuck Wendig [Books]
I love books about writing. I love reading about the craft, seeing different ways of doing the same thing, taking notes so I can look back over them later. Stephen King’s On Writing is probably the most well known, with good reason. It should have pride of place on any writer’s bookshelf. But so should Chuck Wendig’s DamnContinueContinue reading “Damn Fine Story – Chuck Wendig [Books]”

The Boys, Volume One: The Name of the Game – Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson [Graphic Novels]
WARNING: There is likely to be swearing in this review, as personally I think it might be hard to talk about The Boys without a little bit of swearing.

Superheroes who the publicContinueContinue reading “The Boys, Volume One: The Name of the Game – Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson [Graphic Novels]”
The Queen of The Tearling – Erika Johansen [Books]
Dear friends, One thing I want you to understand, is I will never disguise my feelings about a book on this blog. I will, however, always try to find the good in something. But if I say I liked a book, I liked it. If I gush about how great it is, I absolutely lovedContinueContinue reading “The Queen of The Tearling – Erika Johansen [Books]”
To Plot or To Pants [Writing]
For a long time, writers have referred to themselves in one of two ways. As a plotter, or a pantser. The discussion around both appears in interviews, articles, on social media…anywhere you get writers talking, the question comes up. Are you a plotter, or are you a pantser? Personally, I’ve always been more of aContinueContinue reading “To Plot or To Pants [Writing]”
On The Come Up – Angie Thomas [Books]
When I read Angie Thomas’ debut novel, The Hate U Give, I knew this was an author I was going to follow for a long, long time. I was super excited when I heard about her next book, On The Come Up, and honestly, I almost squealed in excitement when I spotted it in my local bookshop.ContinueContinue reading “On The Come Up – Angie Thomas [Books]”
