As a children's bookseller (and now trainee teacher!) I'm always keeping one eye out for accessible books.

New from Jane Elson, comes an inspiring story of a boy and … Continue reading Blog Tour: Storm Horse by Jane Elson

Whenever I come across a new hardback or an exclusive edition, I'll always take a peak inside to see the end papers. They're often an overlooked aspect of a book's design but one I feel is extra special as … Continue reading My Favourite End Papers!

For the past few months I've been setting myself lists of books that I'm planning to read... to varying degrees of success. June's TBR started off really well but tailed off in a mighty reading slump that meant I only read three of the seven books I had planned! I've just about pulled myself out … Continue reading Monthly TBR: July 2021!
