My Week In Books (1st April)

I thought this would be a quiet week for books, but how wrong I was. Here's what I acquired!

  • Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 
  • The Wildings by Nilanjana Roy
  • The Hundred Names of Darkness by Nilanjana Roy
  • Becoming Betty by Eleanor Wood 
  • The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas 

There's also a few new reads on my Kindle!

I finished reading The State of Grace this week, which was wonderful (review here). I drifted between books for a while before starting The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli.

Finally, Stripes Publishing made a very exciting announcement this week!

REVIEW: The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas

The State of Grace is Rachael Lucas’  debut YA novel, and tells the story of Grace, a teenager with Asperger’s, as she finds her way in the world.


The State of Grace is a beautifully told story that I couldn’t put down. As an Own Voices book, you really get a sense of Grace and who she is, and this will show that there is more to those with Asperger’s than the labels we put on them. Grace is a funny and sensitive narrator, and her story will reach out to everyone who reads it.

Stars: ★★★★☆

I was sent a copy of The State of Grace by Pan Macmillan in exchange for an honest review.

My Week In Books (25th March)

I've had a busy bookish week, so let's dive right in!

I was lucky enough to win this YA book bundle from HarperCollins. There's quite a few I haven't read so I'm excited to get stuck in.

I ordered this gorgeous new edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them from America to add to my collection.

I've been reading The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas this week, and it's wonderful. My review will be up soon!

I was really excited by the (rather beautiful) cover reveal of The Gender Games by Juno Dawson, out 1st June.
