Hi everyone!
I thought I'd take the time to post a little summary of my reading in 2021, and my favourite books across the months!
I know, I know, I'm perhaps one of the last people to make a post on this. I've been planning this post for a few weeks now and honestly, time just got away from me and this post has ended up much longer than I expected.
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well 💛 This is a post that I've been thinking about making a lot, since I read so many wonderful books last year but, as I only started this blog in March 2021, haven't reviewed on this blog.

When All The Girls Are Sleeping is an amazing mystery that takes place in a prestigious boarding school, full of intrigue and ominous vibes, and touches on just what it's like to be a lost teenage girl trying to find her way in life.

While putting together my tbr for the rest of summer (which I will likely ignore), I thought … Continue reading books with summer vibes
The Ghosts We Keep is a moving and devastating story about our main character, Liam, dealing with the loss of their brother and all the things that come with grief and sadness from losing a loved one. The whole book is raw and genuine. Deaver says in the author's note that this is a personal story to them, and you can feel it on the page, in every moment of heartbreak, in every chapter.

I’ve been anticipating this book ever since it was announced, being a big fan of Adiba’s debut novel The Henna Wars, and it certainly lived up to my expectations! Hani and Ishu is a sweet coming-of-age novel about culture and sexuality and friendship and family, and I enjoyed every bit of it. [continue reading]
Hi everybody! Happy May! I hope everyone is doing well.

For my first review on this blog I decided to go for one about a recent favourite of mine - The Atlas Six! I read this after it being highly recommended by a friend (shoutout to Bie!) and going in I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. TA6 is a brilliant novel focusing on six magical characters who are invited to be a part of the Alexandrian society, one that promises power and knowledge but, like all good things, comes at a cost.
