Last month, the lovely Emma from Never Judge A Book By Its Cover and I launched Let's Talk YA and I shared the first and second instalment. Today, I'm shouting about the incredible feminist fairy-tale re-telling, The Surface Breaks by Louise O'Neill. Synopsis: Deep beneath the sea, off the cold Irish coast, Gaia is a young mermaid who dreams of freedom … Continue reading Let’s Talk YA #3

A while ago, the lovely Emma from Never Judge A Book By It's Cover and I shared some mutal fangirling over Enchantee on Twitter and this sparked a conversation about how we often just like and retweet bookish comments, istead of engaging. Eventually, this lead to the creation of a brand new feature that Emma and I are co-hosting, where we share a book, preferably UKYA, that's under-rated and try to start a conversation about it.
As always, this will be a working document that I will update throughout the month to track my progress. This month, I am also taking my O.W.L.S! The Magical Readathon was created by the amazing Book Roast and you can see her announcement video over at O.W.L.’s Magical Readathon 2019 Announcement. The task is to read … Continue reading O.W.L.S/April TBR
