I’ve been re-reading a lot of my favourites recently. I’m in a littlew bit of a reading rut, so am returning to those tried and true books that just sneak into your soul, cause honestly, some books change you. The Outsiders is one of those. Written by S.E. Hinton when she was just sixteen, this

Bit of a throwback post today. I’ve been feeling nostalgic, and that always leads me back to comfort reads — the ones you’ve got tucked away in your brain like a favourite hoodie or a beloved recipe you never have to write down (thank you, Mum, for the beautiful chocolate pudding recipe that lives rent-free

I went into Role Model knowing I wasn’t supposed to like the main character, and honestly? Mission accomplished. But that’s what makes Rachel Reid so good—she takes a character you don’t want to like and makes you care anyway. Troy Barrett has been an arrogant, homophobic, antagonistic mess in previous books, and Role Model doesn’t

It’s a bit of a different post this time, but when I spotted Pizza: The New Classics on NetGalley, I immediately hit request. No hesitation. Pizza has always been one of my great loves — it’s comfort food, it’s celebration food, and honestly, it’s just good food. I’ve travelled the world for a good slice.
