What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick

Gwen Castle has never so badly wanted to say good-bye to her island home till now: the summer her Biggest Mistake Ever, Cassidy Somers, takes a job there are the local yard boy. He's a rich kid from across the bridge in Stony Bay, and she hails from a family of fishermen and housecleaners who keep the island's summer people happy. Gwen worries a life of cleaning houses will be her fate too, but just when it looks like she'll never escape her past - or the island - Gwen's dad gives her some shocking advice. Sparks fly and secret histories unspool as Gwen spends a gorgeous, restless summer struggling to resolve what she thought was true - about the place she lives, the people she loves, and even herself - with what really is.

#ThisIsWhoIAm: A Time Capsule Experience

In honour of the launch of Harriet Reuter Hapgood's brilliant debut novel, The Square Root of Summer, I have been invited to take part in Macmillan's #ThisIsWhoIAm campaign. To celebrate the creativity of the book and it's characters, Macmillan have asked me to put together a time capsule that represents who I am right now in Summer 2016. Today - May 3rd - people all around the world will be posting their time capsules showing who they are with the hashtag #ThisIsWhoIAm so if you enjoy this post you should go and check those out, and why not make your own while you're at it and join in on all the fun! I loved putting together my time capsule and I'm so excited to show you guys the things that I feel encapsulate this moment in time.

The Square Root of Summer publishes on the 5th May 2016, I have already read it and I thought it was a beautiful read so if you're interested on hearing more about it, or reading my review, check it out here.

Things I've Been Loving: April Edition

April was a very busy month, in the best possible way. I managed to get quite a bit of reading done, which I'd been slacking on in the previous months, this would be down to ARC April (which, admittedly, I was awful at) and then the readathon on the 23rd! I also got to see a lot of friends this month, due to a little thing that I'll get more into later, which I loved because I don't get to see some of my friends that often due to them not living super close to me. So, yes, all in all April was great, I loved it, and now I welcome May, my birth month, to come and top it.
