Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight.

Happy Tuesday! It is time for Top Ten Tuesday, as ever created by The Broke and The Bookish. This week’s topic is ‘Ten Characters Everyone Loves But You Do Not Get’.

Today I decided to skim my shelves to assess the situation – with the intention of… Continue reading A Sneak Peak at Some Unread Books on My Shelf
It’s Top Ten Tuesday, and this week’s topic is a free choice of Valentine’s Day-related ones. I’ve selected Top Ten OTPs, as I’m not a huge reader of romance novels, and I don’t think I could come up with 10 best reads for Valentine’s Day, so I’ve gone with a mildly romance-themed topic that can… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesdays: Top Ten OTPs
It’s been far too long since I did a tag post, given how much I love writing them!
