Book recommendations: Overwatch edition #1
Good morning bookworms! So, if you know anything about me (except that I love books and cake), you’ll know that I am low-key obsessed with Overwatch.

Book blitz: The Boy Who Steals Houses
Good morning bookworms! So… last week while I was on a mini break, I was supposed to post something for the Aussie Book Blitz for The Boy Who Steals Houses by C. G. Drews.

Mini slump…
Hi friends and book worms (although I guess you’re all one and the same at the moment) I’m having a mini slump. I won’t say a ‘reading slump’ because I haven’t been posting on instagram or blogging much either. I’ve even taken a few days off Discord *gasp*. I’ve had some change recently and I thought everything would magically fall…

February '19 wrap-up and March TBR

Ringing in the New Year Book Tag
Good morning bookworms! Right! I’m here to start the new year off with a bang! And what better way to do it, than to steal some tags that are about a year old, and recreate them and send them back out into the world? (No, but seriously, this was waaaaaay easier than creating my own tag.) So, we’re rebranding an…
