June is pretty amazing when it comes to new releases. I think the books that I’m looking forward to the most are Our Dark Duet and Now I Rise. I genuinely cannot wait to get my hands on them and to just see them on my bookshelf. It’s gonna be an emotional day when they’re released ??

This book has ruined my life. I think I may have read it in about two hours and not once did I get up to get a drink or change reading position. I just lay down and binge-read it. The story of Paper Butterflies will stay with me for a very very long time because of how raw, moving, shocking and emotional it is. …
I don’t even know what happened in the first half of this book. I picked up this book about three times and I ended up getting bored at around 22%. But I knew that I had to write this review, so that meant that I had to try and get through as much of this book as possible, so I started it again and forced my way through it… And finally, I finished it, and this is my verdict.
Orbiting Jupiter is a very short book. At 183 pages, Schmidt makes every page a rollercoaster and packs as much action and feels into each chapter as he can. It’s also probably one of the most moving books that I have ever read, so make sure you’ve got some tissues next to you when you’re reading this. …
Hey, guys and welcome to my first ever bullet journal blog post! I do have a video on my BookTube channel where you can see me flip through the spreads that I have so far, or I just have pictures of the finished products which are down below! I absolutely love doing my bullet journal. It means that I can sit down for 3 or 4 hours and just relax and draw whilst watching TV, and I’m pretty excited to start my bujo adventure!
I will link all of the supplies that I used at the end of each section! Please just be aware that there may be a few products that I can’t link because they are things that I have found in really small craft shops or even from other countries! …
One of Us is Lying starts off sounding like The Breakfast Club: a group of teenagers in detention and slowly, they get to know each other and become close. I was all for an adaptation of the much-loved film. What also made this book sound amazing was the thriller aspect of it and I couldn’t wait to read it. …
I’ve been waiting so impatiently for this box. Even though I knew what the book was straight away (c’mon, it was so obvious!) I was still mega excited. I had already read an arc of the book and absolutely loved it so I couldn’t wait to get the finished edition.
This month’s theme was ‘Warriors & Legends’… …
So a big part of this book is religious. There is a family that has strong Christian views and the father of our protagonist is a pastor. However, I am not religious in any way, and I really didn’t mind the Christian aspect of the book, it didn’t seem in-your-face and forced upon you, it was just there as part of the character’s life and actually, it was quite interesting to read about how she tackled her life and her faith at the same time. …
The book that changed my life was ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee. Probably like many other secondary schools throughout the UK, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ was one of the books that we had to study for our English GCSE and you know what required reading is normally like: boring. The books are nearly always terrible and you hate the fact that you need to read it ten times so that you can get that good grade. With ‘TKAM’, I read it ten times, but not because I felt like I had to: it’s because I wanted to. …
I think I may have a thing for middle-grade novels… I mean, I haven’t even read that many of them… Ok, I’ve just counted how many middle-grade books I’ve read and it’s more than I thought, so I retract the previous statement. I read this book in a matter of days. I wanted to devour it in one sitting, but unfortunately, life got in the way and made sure that didn’t happen. This book is about faeries, magic, demons, and it was just pure enjoyment. …
