5Ws Wednesday

Since I only tend to do a WWW Wednesday post every other week, I thought I'd use today to get some more Ws out there - this time the '5 Ws Book Tag' which I pinched from Amy over at Golden Books Girl! 1 – WHO? Who is an author you’d love to have a...

Mini Monday – a YA double bill

I requested and received advance copies of both books free from the publishers, in exchange for an honest review. All views are my own. This month I've read two YA books, both by authors whose debuts I read and loved last year, so I was very lucky and very excited to get early copies of...

Six for Sunday – Bookish Hates

#SixforSunday is hosted by Steph at A Little But A Lot. Each week she gives a book-themed prompt for a list of six and this week that prompt is Bookish Hates This is a tough one. I'm not sure I'd say hate, but these are certainly things I'm not keen on. In no particular order:...

Peapod’s Picks: Lemur Love!

Peapod's Picks is a weekly round up of some of the books that Peapod* has read (usually for his bedtime story) each week plus a review of at least one of them. *His social media alter ego, not his real name! This week: Frann Preston-Gannon's 'How To Lose a Lemur'. I'd bought this pre-Peapod. I...

Swimming Against The Storm

Swimming Against The Storm by Jess Butterworth. Illustrated by Rob Biddulph. I've written before about how much I love Jess Butterworth's books (and the absolutely stunning artwork Rob Biddulph produces to accompany them), and her newest is no exception! Twelve-year-old Eliza and her sister Avery have lived their entire lives in a small fishing village...
