SLAY // empowering, insightful, and essential

SLAY is a brilliant and insightful book - so much so that it is difficult to believe it is a debut. I'm not very big on gaming, which is at the heart of Keira's story (my knowledge is dated and limited to Mario Kart and a cursory knowledge of Pokemon), but it didn't matter, because Morris' tech-loving novel completely sucked me in.

Wonderful Books I Want to Read this Autumn

Hello lovely readers! I hope you're having a pleasant season wherever you are in the world. Here in the UK, it's Autumn - which means I can finally drink hot chocolate in peace without judgement 😇. Plus cosy jumpers and toasty colour schemes! What's not to love? *Answer: the cold. The cold is my enemy. Also the sun. England needs to make up its mind (on several things, it seems).

The Lover Book Tag

If you know anything about me, you'd know that I adore Taylor Swift. I first fell in love with her music when I listened to Speak Now on repeat in 2011 and was fully whisked away when I saw her on the Red tour in 2014. I've never been to a concert where the artist displayed such glamour and showmanship, all while providing gorgeous vocals throughout. If I wasn't obsessed before, that concert definitely changed that.
