I was always vaguely aware that there was such a thing as banned books, but I was still quite naive in my understanding of what constituted a “banned” book, and I was definitely under the impression that books weren’t banned in the democratic west of the world. I know, how wrong I was. What I found […]
Top Ten Characters Who Would’ve Sat At My Lunch Table I find these topics really tricky and I’m not sure why?! I went to an all girl’s school, so I guess there’s that. This list is a mix of characters who probably would have sat at my table, and characters who I wish would have sat […]
Books I Bought: The (Im)Perfect Girlfriend – I’ve recently recommended a couple of reads to my Sister, who then surprised me by recommending a read to me (I was very excited by this!). The book she recommended was 50 Ways to Find a Lover. Of course, a third of the way in I was getting deja vu […]

Charlie is a freshman. And while he’s not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it.
Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mix tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But he can’t stay on the sidelines forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.

The dreaded book-buying ban. When your physical TBR pile is (much) taller than you, and you need to cut back on a few purchases, do you put yourself on a book-buying ban? I did. And I’m wondering just how effective it is…
Top Ten Books I Can’t Wait To Read (But Don’t Own Yet) I’ve spent some time in the last week or so sorting through my Goodreads shelves, separating my “wishlist” reads, from the “I’m thinking about reading them” reads and the “I own them and need to read them” reads. It’s made my TBR look […]
An unforgettable love story that breaks all the rules. When Tate Collins finds airline pilot Miles Archer passed out in front of her apartment door, it is definitely not love at first sight. In fact, they wouldn’t even consider themselves friends. But what they do have is an undeniable mutual attraction. He doesn’t want love and she doesn’t have time for a relationship, but their chemistry cannot be ignored. Once their desires are out in the open, they realise they have the perfect set-up, as long as Tate can stick to two rules – never ask about the past and don’t expect a future. Tate convinces herself she’s OK with it, but soon realises that it’s harder than she thought. Will she be able to say no to her sexy pilot when he lives just next door?

The lovely, Rinn over at Rinn Reads, carried out a Book Buying Survey at the start of June and posted the results in the middle of July. I thought I’d share my thoughts as a response to her survey, she has a great infographic that lays out the data collected from 100 respondents, so you might […]
So, my blog is almost 6 months old (it feels like I’ve been blogging for years!) and I’ve discovered that I can finally start looking at my blog-stats in a more meaningful way. If I could dedicate more time to this hobby (which actually feels more like a part-time job) then I could definitely try to […]
