19 Quotes from Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

Wayward Son, for me at least, was the most highly anticipated YA novel of this year. Although it was released over a month ago now, I'm still not quite over how much I enjoyed reading about Simon and Baz again and to say that I'm excited for the third instalment to the series, Any Way The Wind …

5 Books With Wizards & Witches To Read This Halloween | Bookending Autumn 2019

The Bookending Autumn prompt I'm following today is: 5 Books With Necromancers As I thought it would be a fun one to do as Halloween draws closer.

Spicy Pumpkin Latte Book Tag | Bookending Autumn 2019

To go along with Blogtober, I'm also participating in this year's Bookending Autumn as I've wanted to join the Bookending events for a while now but have never got the timing right (we're just going to skip over the fact that I'm 20 days late). Bookending Autumn is organised by Sam and Clo with the …

I Tried To Bake One Of The Cakes From The Great British Bake Off And This Is What Happened

Being British in Autumn is good for two reasons.

Number two …

The prompt I'm taking inspiration from today is, as you saw in the title of this post: Favourite Vampire or Werewolf Now, I'm probably being really predictable here but it has to be Baz (or Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch) from the Simon Snow series (Carry On/Wayward Son).
