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…

Last week I shared my review on Holly Bourne’s new upcoming YA Thriller, And Then We Screamed. I have been such a huge Holly Bourne fan since her debut released back in 2013. So after loving another Holly Bourne book, I decided now would be a good chance to share with you my top 5. And Then We Screamed: YA Thriller / Mystery – Honestly after finishing this one if flew straight into the top spot. This book is so important and impactful that it couldn’t be anywhere but at the top spot. It’s hard to say why without spoiling it. Just trust me and go preorder this book! Soulmates:…

August is getting closer and closer, which means it’s time to share with you my hopefuls for my ARC reading month. When selecting which books to read, I have gone for a mix of some books I got as ARCs but didn’t manage to get to them before they released, and some which are not released yet. I’ve also tried to get as many YALC attending authors as I can in there. ARCs That Are Already Out ARCs That Are Not Yet Released   Are you an ARC Reader? What ARCs are you most excited to read?

What are you all hoping to read this week? I’m going to be finishing up my second series buddy read with my bestie Han. We have always loved doing buddy reads, but this year we decided to do full series buddy reads, starting with Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige in January, and this week we are going into the final book of our second full series. I’m super excited to be diving into Boundless, the third book in the Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand. This series has given me such nostalgic 2010s vibes while we have been reading. I have loved it so much. I thought I’d take this…

It’s that time of the year again. It’s almost August, which means I am once again hosting ARC August. I always have a back log of ARCs, so this is something that I do every year. This year, I am going into it with less ARCs on my backlist than every before as I have just cleared them out. As I have been a reviewer/blogger/Netgalley goer for well over a decade, I had some Netgalley books from back in 2012 that I didn’t get to. So I decided to clear some of the older ARCs out with the ‘I will not be reviewing this title’ button. So while there is…

I’ve always been a short series girl. Whether a duology or trilogy, those two are my absolute favourites. I get so intimidated by longer series, and if there’s a lot of books in a series by the time I learn about it, it’s a no from me. However, there are a few series longer than a trilogy that do sit on my all time favourite series list. So while I am eating my words by sharing this, here are a few longer series that I just do think are worth it.  The Covenant Series by Jennifer L Armentrout – 6 Books and 2 Novellas – YA Paranormal Romance Daimon (Novella)…

While June was my busiest month, July should be one my months with the most free time. I’m hoping that means that I will get a lot more reading done. After the 10th I’m off work for the rest of the month, which is exciting. So here’s some of the books I am hoping I will get read in July. Currently Reading Other Possibilities Have you read any of these? Let me know which one you think I should start first.

Can you believe we are almost half of the way through 2026? It’s been a really rough year for me this year, so I definitely haven’t made as much progress on my challenges than I had hoped but here is what I’ve managed to do so far. FYI, I completely forgot to do my first quarterly wrap up so this is everything from January combined. Challenge 1: Read 52 Books in 2026 I have currently read 30 books so I am 5 books ahead on this challenge! Challenge 2: Read 12 Books Recommended by 12 Friends I have read 5 of the 12 books for this challenge so I am…
