I was so excited to get my hands on this collection of poetry that I devoured it in one sitting! Hard to pick a favourite poem honestly!

For those who like poetry, or share a love of Emily Dickinson, definitely give this one a go!

Currently Reading: Dim Stars by Brian P. Rubin

Dim Stars on Goodreads

Yes, this is exactly the sort of conundrum I’m having with Dim Stars. It’s so freaking cool and cute and interesting and I’m loving it so far, but I haven’t had time to properly sink my teeth into it yet because, as I’m prone to do, I don’t like pi...

1.      Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

Hardbacks look great on the shelf, but I always opt for the paperback. I’m also a big e-reader.

Interview:

1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

2. Pick a genre, any genre!

I prefer to read and write thrillers. I use that term in a bro...
