I always love a Waterstones Double Stamps Weekend as I use this as a perfect opportunity to pre-order all the upcoming books that I am excited for. So I thought I’d share with you what is on my Pre-order list. 2026 Releases 2027 Releases What upcoming releases are you excited for?  

2026 has been the year of branching our genre wise, and one of the genres I’ve been trying to get into a little bit more is horror. I have discovered that I really like a sci-fi horror or thriller, especially if it’s got some sort of space theme. So I thought I’d share with you the ones that I have read and enjoyed and I am hoping that people will see this and recommend some more titles for me. As you can see I haven’t read very many, but I absolutely loved these books. So if you have any recommendations of any others, please let me know. I am keen…

We are a week into September and that means that we are a week into my Reading Challenge to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust. While I have read every single day, sadly I haven’t finished a book yet. But I am almost there with one of my current reading. In case you need a recap, I am reading strictly Teen/YA books for the month of September. Current Reads Up Next? I am embracing my mood reading tendencies this month, so this might change. However, I have just received this one and I am super excited about it.                   Are there any…

In September, I am taking part in the Reading Challenge fundraiser for Teenage Cancer Trust! Cancer charities are very close to my heart, since losing my beloved Dad to the disease in February. So when I saw a Cancer charity that was doing a fundraiser for a reading challenge, I jumped on board. If you would like to donate please click HERE As this challenge is for the Teenage Cancer Trust, I am dedicating the entire of September to reading YA novels. This coincides perfectly with the fact that I have a load of books for the upcoming YA book con, YALC to read. So I am not picking a…

August has been my ARC August month. Sadly, this month has been a lot slower in reading than I had hoped and I haven’t read quite as much as I was wanting to. However I have managed to finish 3 ARCs so far, and I am currently reading one! ARCs I’ve Finished I really enjoyed all 3 of these with all of them rating quite highly. My reviews of all three of these are already up on the blog, so you can click on the ‘Book Reviews’ tab on the side bar to see them. They are all spoiler free. Currently Reading I’m about 30% through Too Hexed To Handle…

Last week I shared my recommendations of books from YALC attending authors that I had already read and loved. Now it’s time to share with you some of the books/authors that I have on my TBR. Author’s I’ve Read Already But Have Some New Releases To Read New To Me Authors I Own / Have ARCs New To Me Authors I’m Interested In But Do Not Own Have you read any of these? Which ones do I need to  prioritise?

I am once again going to be attending YALC this year. If you’re been here for a while you will know that I have attended every single YALC since the very first one. I am so excited to be heading there again, and this year is an exciting one. Due to LFCC Winter having been cancelled, for the first time ever YALC is going to be it’s own standalone event, and I am super excited about it. There’s been some fantastic authors announced this year, and to my absolute delight some new authors who have not attended before. As someone who has attended every YALC, I will admit that for…
