This has been on my TBR ever since it came out. I was looking forward to reading Before I Let Go, because I enjoyed reading Nijkamp’s other book: This is Where it Ends (which is about a school shooting). After reading the blurb of BILG, it sounded very cliché, but sometimes clichés can be a good thing! So I opened my Kindle app, and started reading… …
Last time I read something by Lynn Weingarten was 3 years ago and it was Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls. It was an ok book. Nothing amazing but it was entertaining. I saw that Weingarten had another book out and I was intrigued to see whether her writing style had developed and what new thrilling plots she would come up with this time. So I dived right in to Bad Girls With Perfect Faces… …
I had heard so many good things about this book, and I kept seeing it on the buy one get one half price section of Waterstones. So when I saw it on Netgalley, I instantly requested it and luckily, I was sent it! As soon as I had downloaded it, I started reading it straight away and it took me three hours to read – in one sitting. …
Oleanna was the last book that I had to read for university. Well… I say book, it’s a play that discusses the differences in power between men and women. It literally took me about half an hour to read, it was quite interesting. I didn’t understand a couple of things, but it was still an interesting read. …
The Passion of New Eve was another book that I had to read for my Gender, Sex and Culture class for university. I’m normally a massive fan of Angela Carter’s writing but TPONE was a story that I just couldn’t wrap my head around.

I’m kind of getting into the groove of reading poetry lately… Maybe it’s because there’s a lot of it being published that’s aimed at teenagers and young adults, maybe it’s because I fancy something a little bit different. I don’t know. Nevertheless, I was intrigued by this poet that had come by way – R.H Sin. Apparently, he is a very well known poet with many fans saying how his contemporary poetry is magical. I was eager to see if I agreed. …
Hey, guys and welcome to my April plan with me! I do have videos on my BookTube channel where you can see me physically plan out most of monthly spreads, or I just have pictures of the finished products which are down below! I absolutely love doing my bullet journal. It means that I can sit down for 3 or 4 hours and just relax and draw whilst watching TV…
I will link all of the supplies that I used at the end of each section! …
If you read my blog post where I said I was going to be doing the Easter Readathon – hosted by Kate from Reading Through Infinity – you will know that I had quite an ambitious TBR pile. …
The Damned graphic novel series is actually the first graphic novel series that I have ever requested from Netgalley. I thought that it would be weird reading a graphic novel on my phone/laptop as illustrations are a massive part in the storytelling process. However, it turned out to be not that bad! …
So I did a thing… I decided to give up buying books for lent. The following books are ones that I actually pre-ordered and they just arrived in March. I wasn’t actually going to give up anything for lent, but I decided to give up buying books to really challenge myself. And in my defence, I actually pre-ordered these books in January or something like that, so I didn’t buy any book at all in March!
Anyway, let’s just get on with the haul… …
