January Releases |2020

Hello, there! Welcome to another post where I share all of the monthly releases that I’m excited for. As usual, I’ve split this post into two sections: the first one are the books that I’ve pre-ordered, and the the other section are other releases that I’m interested in but haven’t pre-ordered.

I can’t believe that it’s already 2020… Just let me lie here and come to terms with how fast everything is going.

Disclaimer: all of the release dates shown here are taken from Amazon.co.uk …

2020 Releases I’m Excited For!

January 2, 2020 Kirsty Hanson

I was actually going to put in all of the pictures of the books that I’m excited for in 2020, and then also put the release date and then the synopsis next to the book, but then I realised that this post would be hundreds of miles long so I decided against it.

Instead, you have the book covers for the books and then like always, at the end of the month, I will write a monthly releases post where the release date and the synopsis will be.

These are only 24 of the releases I’m excited for, and they’re in non particular order. There’s about 60 more, but I really didn’t want this to be a long post! …

January 1, 2020 Kirsty Hanson

2019 is done, and I’m praying that 2020 is a better year for my personal life, but also for reading as well. If you’ve been following me on Goodreads, Twitter, or on my blog, you will know that my reading year has not been good. AT ALL. BUT, let’s let the stats speak for themselves. Here we go. Here are my stats and all of the books that I read in 2019. …

End of 2019 | Book Tag

December 31, 2019 Kirsty Hanson

2019 was a bit of a shit year, to be honest. You can read all about the shitty times here. But there were a few good things that happened as well.

I went to New York with my best friend
I went to YALC
I finished my degree
Started my Masters

However, it really hasn’t been a good year for reading or blogging, and I’m quite disappointed in myself for how little I’ve read. But, I’m blaming that on how much I’ve been struggling this year with my mental health.

Anyway, let’s get on with the post.

YALC Haul | 2019

August 2, 2019 Kirsty Hanson

I’m actually writing this two weeks after YALC has finished… It took me so long to do this blog post, from taking the pictures, to including the links! Anyway, as the title suggests, this post shows you all of the things that I got whilst I was at YALC in London this year. I didn’t actually BUY a lot. Most of the things that you can see in this post are free things that I managed to pick up whilst I was there.

So without any further ado, let’s get on with the haul! …

Internment by Samira Ahmed

January 31, 2019 Kirsty Hanson

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. …

Bird Box by Josh Malerman

January 28, 2019 Kirsty Hanson

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.
