Mini Reviews: Spectacular short SFF & Emotional YA Contemporary

I've loved all the books I've read so far this month. And all the ones I haven't - which makes sense I promise. I started two books at the beginning of the month that were both amazing but then… I didn't feel in the mood to read fantasy books.

Memo Pad: Book Reviews – June 2017

I only read four new books this month which is the least that I've read in a while but this was purely down to the fact that, only a week after reading them for the first time, I decided to reread the All For The Game trilogy to start the month off (and I have… Continue reading Memo Pad: Book Reviews – June 2017
