I’ve been friends with the author on TikTok for a while now, and thought the cover and premise of her debut novel were really interesting. So I got stuck in, and I enjoyed it. I found it quite hard to get through and a little slow in terms of the pacing at times, but thisContinue reading “Book Review: “Torn” by Jasmine Watson”
Book Review: The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen
This was probably one of my favourite books of this year, although it was a little slow to get through at times. It has some wonderful world-building, a badass heroine with dark intentions, the enemies to lovers trope clearly woven through the story, and well thought out characters.

We both love YA books and were both planning onContinue reading “Book Review: Ocean Heart by Ally Aldridge”
The World Of Disney & Its Influence On My Writing
Where did I get the inspiration for writing this blog post? That would probably be the fact I’m sitting here right now, watching Tangled on Disney +. I love this film!

How I Became A Freelance Editor
Ever since I was little, I’ve always loved books – reading and writing them. My sisters and I used to walk up to our local library and bring home about four or five books at a time, and keep them right up until the two week limit. This carried on right through secondary school, whenContinue reading “How I Became A Freelance Editor”
