I can't believe it's been over a year since I got these. They were a pretty brilliant Christmas gift in 2019 from some friends of mine and have been sitting on my shelf ever since. Truth be told, I'd never really bothered much with bookends before. This was largely because I usually had shelves with…
Scarlet [Marissa Meyer]
I just think we shouldn't judge her, or anyone, without trying to understand them first. That maybe we should get the full story before jumping to conclusions. Crazy notion, I know. Of all the books in Marissa Meyer's The Lunar Chronicles I’ll admit Scarlet is probably the book I like least in the whole series.…
It’s a FOX Coloring Book!!
I'm actually not that into coloring books; at least, I'm not that into adult coloring books. Something about the amount of time that it would take to do the coloring just stresses me out.

As it…
It Only Happens in the Movies [Holly Bourne]
"Now who would be stupid enough to make you an ex-anything?" I very nearly did not like this book at all. As many of my readers know, contemporaries can often be very hit or miss for me. It Only Happens in the Movies by Holly Bourne , despite having an interesting premise, was very much…
Into the Wild [Erin Hunter]
Never trust a fox. Looks like a dog, behaves like a cat. First published way back in 2003, Into the Wild is part one of what equates to an episodic-eseque set of novels by Erin Hunter called Warriors. I was pretty in love with these books as a kid, though as I got older I…
