Today, I’ve written a Guest Post over on Dani Reviews Things for her event, #NAAugust!
In it I discuss NA fiction, and declare that NA is NOT erotica! Check out my discussion and drop Dani some love!
Harry Potter Tag
I spotted this tag ages ago on Alicia @ A Kernel of Nonsense’s blog, and kept the questions in a draft post, should the need ever arise to complete it. Considering my review for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child went up yesterday, I thought today was the perfect day for a tag.
The Harry Potter Tag was originally created by Underland to Wonderland (you can leave a link to your post on the original Harry Potter Tag). *Beware* there may be spoilers ahead.
eBooks vs Paper Books – The Facts
In this two-part discussion, I break down why I’m breaking up with eBooks (posted yesterday), and explore eBooks vs paper books – the facts.
I’m Breaking Up With eBooks
In this two-part discussion, I break down why I’m breaking up with eBooks today, and tomorrow I explore eBooks vs paper books – the facts.
For as long as I’ve had this book blog, I’ve wanted to weigh in on the eternal debate – eBook or physical book? There have been so many slants to this topic, so many avenues to explore. This Book Geek has been in a perpetually indecisive eBook funk for as long as I can remember, and now, I’ve finally come to a decision…

The Ultimate Book Geek Glossary
Book Geeks have many phrases that are unique to us, and many that we have adopted from other communities. To help new-comers figure it out, and to give old-timers a bit of a giggle, I thought I’d compile the Ultimate Book Geek Glossary.
Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Harry Potter?
There’s no mistaking it, I’m a positively HUGE Harry Potter fan, which makes this a discussion I genuinely never thought I would be capable of writing. It’s a question I would have thought inconceivable. There have been loads of Harry-Potter-related developments in recent years, and even as a super-fan, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about all of them.
The time has finally come when I’ve had to ask myself, is there such as thing as too much Harry Potter?

EXCLUSIVE Excerpt of Frayed, The Book By A Book Blogger!
Have you heard of Kara Terzis? The wonderful Book Blogger behind Diary of a Teen Blogger? Well if you hadn’t heard of her before now, you’re about to see her around the blogosphere a LOT more, because she’s just published her first novel, Frayed, with Sourcebooks Fire!
Shop Online and Save Highstreet Bookshops!
Online shopping has made supporting independent and local bookstores much harder for most Book Geeks. The lure of deals and discounts, the simplicity of free delivery to your door, and the perk of a huge selection of books that you can browse from the comfort of your own home (or on the go with your phone or tablet!), means accessing and purchasing books has never been easier.
But, what if you could shop online, and still support your local bookshop?
I Hate Branded Social Media References in Fiction!
I don’t like when real-life brands are referenced in fiction, especially social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Even though these sites have been around for quite a while, I’m only noticing them becoming present in fiction lately (particularly Contemporary YA), but it’s a trend that seems to be growing, and I just don’t like it.

The Controversy of Go Set A Watchman
Yesterday, I finally got around to posting my review of Harper Lee’s Go Set A Watchman. The publication of this book has been surrounded by mystery and shade, with many Lee fans choosing to boycott the book altogether. So, today I’m writing a round-up of how this book came to be published, and the controversy surrounding it.
My #OTSPSecretSister Experience
#OTSPSecretSister is the fabulous invention of Brittany @ Book Addict’s Guide, Alyssa @ Books Take You Places and Amy @ Tripping Over Books. The project is a “cheer club”, where you are paired with a “Secret Sister” and send them letters, cards and gifts over the course of 6 months, before revealing to them who you are. While you’re doing this, you have your own Secret Sister who’s looking out for, and sending cheer, to you. Check out my experience with the project!
Is Bigger Better? Part 2
Yesterday, in Is Bigger Better?, I blogged about the size of my unruly TBR pile. This was inspired by Dani @ Dani Reviews Things, who wrote a post discussing how growing up and reviewing books has changed her reading habits. I’m turning this into a mini-series, as there are a few things that have changed for me from Before Blogging to After Blogging, so I’ve split them into separate posts for your reading pleasure 🙂
Is Bigger Better? Part 1
Yes, my title is a little tongue-in-cheek. It’s one of those days. Pick your mind up out of the gutter, I’m talking about TBR piles.
Recently, Dani @ Dani Reviews Things wrote a post discussing how growing up and reviewing books has changed her reading habits. It’s a fab post and I highly recommend you check it out! I’d been thinking about how I read Before Blogging and After Blogging for a while, and her post inspired me to finally get my thoughts on to the screen. Here we go…
