Witch for the Week: review

Before we kick things off I would just like to say that if there are any witches reading this, I am available to house-sit and unleash my witchy powers at your earliest convenience. 

     Hello! It has been a while, has it not? Just a quick thank you to everyone who has read my blog posts. It really means a lot to me to see the little numbers on the side of my dashboard rise every so often, even if half of them are me constantly re-reading them to make sure I didn't make any mistakes...

Love the teal and gold, what a delight!

The Hate U Give: review

Welcome to the first Young Adult book review!

I said to myself after London Book Fair that I would read more YA and start 'reviewing' it (or whatever you call rambling on the internet about a book). And what better way to start than with Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2018 WINNER, Angie Thomas?! I'm pretty sure The Hate You Give, also known as T.H.U.G, is currently in it's 60th (SIXTIETH) week at the top of the New York Times Children's Best Sellers list! Rightfully so!

This is an incredibly emotive book about the unjust way that people of colour are systematically oppressed, the power of finding your voice, and finding strength in the hardest times.
