Thanks to that I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Maya MacGregor, the author of one of my favourite books of the year, The Many Half-Lived Lives…

One Year Blog Anniversary

So yesterday marked my one year of blogging, which seems unreal. I really can't believe I've been blogging for a year. So far, this has been a fantastic experience and I've gotten to do some amazing things since starting this blog. From recieving some ARCs that I would've never gotten otherwise to talking to authors…

April Wrap-Up

April... what a month. I feel like I've been saying this for the past few months but April was really... something. My migraine, rhinitis, and what seem to be tension headaches decided to join forces and kick my ass this month, so I pretty much went through it in a daze. That and the fact…

Recommending the Literature that Inspired the Pre-Raphaelites

Anyone that knows me knows that I'm slightly (very) obsessed with the Pre-Raphalites. I've mentioned it in passing in my blog a few times, but I wanted to write a post focusing on that. Firstly, I want to make it clear that I am obviously not an expert on this subject, and this is just…

The Chapters and Melodies Tag

When I saw Line @ First Line Reader tagged me to do this challenge, I was beyond excited. Writing posts linking books and songs has become one of my favourite things to do—as you can see here, here or here—so I really am buzzing to doing this tag! Thanks again Line for tagging me. The…

March Wrap-Up

March was a slower reading month if we compare it to how much I managed to read the first two months of the year, but it was by no means a bad one. I still fit quite a bit of reading despite the amount of uni work I had to do—I feel I complain about…
