Hello everybody! Today, and I know I’m a little bit late with this seeing as some of these are already out, I’m going to be chatting through all the September relevant I’m excited about and planning to pick up at some point. I’ve obviously taken out all the ones I’ve already read, so without further ado, onto the post!
Hello everybody! So, as you will know if you read my tweets, I did a 5 star predictions post either earlier this month or last month, and the result of that is that they’re my new obsession in life. So here are 13 books I thought I’d love, and was absolutely spot on about, all of which I obviously recommend very highly. Onto the post!
Hello everybody! Today, I have another installment of the spelling out series, and this time the word is , even though it is now in fact a different month. Onto the post!
A is for… Amber Undercover– I read this super fun story about a girl becoming a spy around this time last year, and I’d actually really love it to be a series because I wanna see the characters again! It’s a bit like Geek Girl, but obviously with spies, and it’s such a good time.
U is for… the Unadoptables– I read this last year, and it’s such a great debut from Hana Tooke. It’s about a group of children deemed “unadoptable” and what happens when they’re then adopted by a man with nefarious intentions. The setting is wonderful and there’s a gorgeous found family vibe!
G is for… Giant– this was a very recent read for me, and you’ll be seeing my review of it soon so I don’t want to give all my thoughts away, but it feels like quite a different book from Nicola Skinner and I was so pleased I still absolutely loved it. U is for…
Uki and the Outcasts– this is the first book in the second trilogy of the Five Realms series, and Uki is such an amazing character that you just fall in love with him instantly. It has some really lovely messages about not fitting in as well.
S is for… the Star Spun Web- this seems especially timely given that Sinéad announced her new book is out in February next year, and this is my favourite of hers so far. It’s such a clever, unique fantasy story and the cover is ridiculously gorgeous.
T is for… the Twyford Code– this is Janice Hallett’s second book, and it’s just as twisty and brilliant and addictive as her first. She’s fast becoming one of my very favourite mystery writers!!
Thank you so much for reading! Which books would you have chosen for these letters? Do you have any thoughts on the books I’ve picked? I’d love to chat in the comments!

Hello everybody! Today, I have the summer vibes book tag for you, which I saw on Charlotte’s blog and was created by Deanna. Onto the post!
Hello everybody! Today, we have a rare Sunday post because I’m on the blog tour for the super funny, animal-centric adventure My Mum is a Spy! with my review. Onto the post!
Review:
I hadn’t heard of this prior to being offered a copy, but I’m so glad I was as I had such fun reading it, and as it’s a younger MG, it was perfect as a read-in-one-sitting palate cleanser between some other things I was reading.
It’s the story of Idris and his (not official, but very close to being) step-sister LucÃa, who is obsessed with all things spying and is convinced that Idris’s mum Sarah is in fact a spy. So when some pangolins go missing at the local zoo and Idris’s mum goes missing after she is behaving rather oddly on a trip to see what happened, LucÃa is seemingly proven right and she teams up with Idris to get his mum back, and find out what happened to the missing animals too.
Idris is very understandably freaked out by all this, and I think it would be impossible for anyone not to empathise with him. Not to mention the fact he absolutely LOVES animals, which I think is one of the very best traits any person can have. LucÃa is absolutely hilarious; she is so clever and funny and again, exactly the type of character I love. The plot is super fun and I liked the little twist we got, and the villain is exactly the type of high fashion, very glam person I am always down to love to hate. Obviously I do not condone her love of furs or being vile to animals, to be clear!!
There is a lovely little hint at the end (the last page made me smile SO MUCH, by the way, special shout out to the illustration there!) about what the next book in the series will be, and I’m definitely planning to pick it up because I just had the best time with this book.
Thank you so much for reading! What are your favourite wild animals? Have you read this book, or is it on your TBR? I’d love to have a chat in the comments!
