To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we’re each going to be sharing our top five OTPs of all time. Somehow, we managed to not have any duplicates?! 1. Will & Jem (The Infernal Devices) I was going to go with Will and Tessa for this but, for me, the real OTP of The Infernal Devices is Will and […]
I’ve been really into planning for the past 4-5 months and I’ve become a bit of an addict. I post a lot of sticker hauls on my Instagram stories and have had lots of questions so I thought I would share how I plan and what I use everything for. Some of you might think that […]
I love fluffy contemporary romance novels and Lisette’s Paris Notebook looked extremely promising. It has an extremely cute cover and was screaming Anna and the French Kiss at me. However, I found this novel to be a pretty big disappointment and did not enjoy the reading experience at all. There isn’t really any other word to describe the plot […]

It’s a fantastic but emotional LGTBQ+ story and it definitely hit me hard. This novel is about Mike, who is 14 or 15 years old, and just discovering his sexuality […]
So… I noticed that Aila’s top 10 books of 2016 were all fantasy novels, so I decided to balance it out with my top 10 contemporary novels of 2016. As of today, I’ve read 196 books this year and 104 of them were contemporary. Here are my favourite ten! Not all of them were released […]
Mistletoe and Mr Right is bind-up of two new adult Christmas novellas: Mistletoe and Mr Right, and Sleigh Bells and Second Chances. I wasn’t a big fan of Mistletoe and Mr Right, but I really enjoyed Sleigh Bells and Second Chances. I’m going to review the two of them separately. Mistletoe and Mr Right This […]
