Can We Love a Book Written by a Bad Person?

Way back in January, I wrote a post about favourite books where I briefly touched on how the author of a book might impact our view on their work. The call to cancel problematic and controversial authors has been going strong for a long time now—to be point of there being lists with "authors to…

The Trope Tag

It's been a while since I last posted a tag, so today it's time for one. I was nominated by Naemi @ A Book Owl's Corner and I'm excited to try to come up with answers for these prompts. So without further ado, let's jump straight in! The Rules Mention the creator of the tag…

Book Recommendations Based on My Chemical Romance Songs

You might not know this but My Chemical Romance is one of my favourite bands ever—if not my number one favourite band. They've just released their first song since 2014 and they're currently on their first proper tour after they reunited in 2019. Despite their decision to skip Spain and my bitterness over that, I've…

Unread Books I Own

Today, I'm exposing myself. Okay, it's not nearly as dramatic as it sounds. I don't usually buy books unless I want to start them immediately, but that's not always been the case and, because of that, I have a few books that have been on my shelves, untouched, for a few years. Today I'll be…

Here's an attempt at that. About the book I received this book from Hachette Audio as an audiobook copy in exchange for an honest…

May Wrap-Up

May was a slightly weird month, in the sense that it dragged on forever but also lasted approximately two minutes. I had to study for exams and write my final assignments but, after the suffering, I can finally say I'm done—mostly, as I still need to write my thesis. Once again, scheduled posts really came…

Book Review: Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly

If there's one thing about me, is that I absolutely adore watching Masterchef with my mum—I was actually watching that before posting this—so when I heard about this book, I knew I had to read it. About the book I received this book from Hachette Audio as an audiobook copy in exchange for an honest review. Rating: ★★★★☆…

*This was originally published on We Need Diverse Books* This year I had the amazing opportunity to interview one of my favourite authors, Casey McQuiston, about their new book I Kissed Shara Wheeler over at the We Need Diverse Books blog. They were kind enough to allow me to repost that interview on my blog,…

Eurovision Songs as Books

So, I had already scheduled a post for today that wasn't this but on Saturday it was the Eurovision Song Contest, and that was a slight change of plans. For those who don't know, Eurovision is a festival held every year where European countries present a song each, with the winner being later voted by…
