Book of the Month



This month it has to be One by Sarah Crossan. It was an extraordinary read which absolutely blew me away

Events attended

Early this month I went off to Nicole's Burstein's book launch for Other Girl. It was a fab event and so lovely to support Nicole and her wonderful book

Hotkey Brunch
I was lucky enough to get invite to Hot Key's Blogger Brunch. I got huge pile of books to bring home which I have been steadily working through and have all been awesome which I'll be reviewing over the next few months closer to publication dates. I always love a hot key event because they always have loads of authors there and a huge range of awesome titles that I am always dying to read and this time was no exception.

Hello Kirsty: I can't seem to find an email address to send you a review request. Caravaggio: Signed in Blood is historical fiction for 12- to 14-year olds, published in Canada and the UK by Tradewind Books. Sword fighting, bounty hunters, pirates, romance, and a chase across 17th century Italy--this fast-paced book was written with boys in mind. Can I have the publisher send you a copy for review? My email: smithwrite@gmail.com

What did you think of 'The Rest Of Us Just Live Here'? I think it sounds like a really interesting idea for a story, and I'd like to know more about what it's *really* about, beyond the back cover description.

The Book Bundle
@Ailsa

I liked it. I didn't love it. The main description does some it up really. Story of ordinary guy trying to life a normal life when all the chosen ones around him are battling the end of the world again
