Hey, guys and welcome to my January wrap up! I genuinely can’t believe that I managed to read 12 BOOKS this month! I was on fire! I’ve had a 2 month reading slump so it felt so good to get back into reading and I managed to read quite a few ARCs that I had sitting on my shelf, which was brilliant.
Anyway, let’s get on with the wrap-up! …
As soon as I read the blurb for Internment, I knew that I had to request an early copy of it, and I am so glad that I did. I know that I only read it two months before the release date, but it meant that I could rave about it for two months and convinced loads of my friends to pre-order or buy it when it came out in the shops.
Content warnings: death, murder, islamophobia, racism, violence, torture, internment camps. …

‘Waiting on Wednesday’ is a meme created by Breaking the Spine where each week we discuss upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. I am looking forward to SO MANY BOOKS, so this weekly meme is a great way for me to share what books I need to get my hands on! …
You know the feeling: you get really excited at the beginning of the year because of all of the amazing releases that are going to be coming out, and then it gets to July and you realise you’ve hardly read any of the new releases. Then, it gets to December and you’re like… shit.
Some of these books are even books that were released in 2018, but I genuinely wanted to get around to them. And these aren’t even all of them. I still haven’t gotten around to reading Illuminae… or the Grisha trilogy… Please don’t hurt me… I know that I’m missing out on so much.
Anyway, here are the 20 books that I really wish that I’d read in 2018… But didn’t. …
You ALL know what Bird box is. When you think of it, some of you think of the hit Netflix show which blew everyone away, and some of you will think of this captivating, thriller novel that makes you feel tense right up until you shut the book, and you feel your body finally relax.
I saw this post on Des’ blog and I thought that it was an amazing idea to share with you what books I was approved for on Netgalley on a weekly basis. For those of you who are regular readers of my website, you will know that I request A LOT of books off of NetGalley. I just can’t help myself. I see a pretty cover and BAM. I suddenly have 25 books that need reviewing.
Anyway, this week I was approved for these amazing bunch of books! …
Hello, there! AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER YEAR WHERE THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING RELEASES. I can’t believe that it’s February already… January absolutely flew by! February sees the releases of the much-anticipated The Priory of the Orange Tree which is a new story from Samantha Shannon who is the author of The Bone Season series, and we also get a new book from Angie Thomas as well, which is SUPER EXCITING!

Welcome back to ANOTHER Fairy Loot unboxing! If you don’t already know, I now also have a YouTube channel where I have also filmed an unboxing as well as writing this blog post. So, for this month the theme was ‘Unbreakable Bonds’ and when the theme was announced last month, and I had no idea what this book was going to be… No clue AT ALL, so that added an element of excitement to this month!
Let’s get on with the unboxing… …
This Mortal Coil was another library find for me! I hadn’t been to the library in so long, and I ended up coming out with about ten books (it’s a good job that I took quite a few tote bags with me!) …
