Here are some of Emily's favourite books… Continue reading Cosy Books to Curl Up with

One of my favourite reads of last year was All That Impossible Space, so when AusYABloggers announced their book tour for Before the Beginning I got very excited.

2020 Best of Shelf So Far…
Can you believe we've crossed the halfway point of 2020? It's been a strange year, with a lot of my plans either cancelled or altered for online platforms, and I found myself falling into a bit of a reading slump during April/May.
