THINGS I LOVE ABOUT YALC

So I think there will be lots of people who are really missing Comic Con and other conventions this year. This weekend was supposed to be the London Film & Comic Con as well as the Young Adult Literature Convention at Olympia, and whilst I'm glad they've been able to move certain things online, it …

LFCC & YALC 2019: DAY 3

Getting into YALC: I don't even remember what was wrong with the TFL network on this day but it wasn't working properly. Again. Slightly different timing today with the ARC drops though; it was deemed too dangerous for people to just run around the place trying to grab all the ARCs first, so for those …

LFCC & YALC 2019: DAY 2

The Journey: I should probably just leave this bit out after this post as the entire weekend I didn’t actually have a “normal” journey either to or from YALC. Curse you TFL. Today however, I at least had some company on my journey! My life-long BFF Abby (her wonderful blog can be found here) was …

LFCC & YALC 2019: DAY 1

Today was a pretty quiet day for me in terms of planned book signings, and I still hadn’t really made my mind up about which of the LFCC actor signings I wanted to attend. So Day 1 was about scouting out the stalls and YALC and LFCC, entering as many of the giveaways as I …

AN EVENING WITH JAY KRISTOFF: DARKDAWN EVENT

Warning: this post contains strong language. But don't worry, it is spoiler free, gentlefriends. This event came and went far too quickly, I also feel like I massively missed my chance for an awesome question to ask Mister Kristoff. But I did say "Hi", get some of my books signed, and get a photo to …

MCM BLOGGER BRUNCH & COMIC-CON

This has to be one of the most exciting blogger opportunities I've ever been presented with; on Sunday 26th May (I know I'm late, but better late than never) I attended London MCM Comic Con for the Blogger Brunch. I'm still so grateful to Jamie and Tor Publishing for this opportunity and my (very exciting …

BLOGGER BRUNCH: THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO – CHRISTY LEFTERI

Hello everyone! Another slightly different post today; I'm slowly but surely catching up on my reviews but I had to tell you all about the wonderful morning I spend with Bonnier Zaffre books for their The Beekeeper of Aleppo party! Being a brunch there were lots of tasty treats on offer as well as a …

BONNIER ZAFFRE BLOGGER BRUNCH: WOMEN OF HISTORY

A huge thank you to Bonnier Zaffre and Hot Key Books for inviting me to the blogger brunch a few weeks ago. There were two authors there, the focus was on Heather Morris as a main author, and Lucy Adlington as a moderator of the event. But both authors had plenty of time to discuss …

THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE LAUNCH EVENT

I can't believe this book is finally in the world!! And I'm so happy I was able to go to the event and get my books signed. I picked up my Goldsboro edition a couple of days before so I cold get it personalised, so the extra copy I had ordered at the event (because …

TOMI ADEYEMI EVENT: WATERSTONES PICCADILLY

Yes it's been a while since I posted something like this, it's been a while since I've been to an event. I've been an even longer while since I went to this event... but let's no dwell on that! I was going to do this post in multiple parts to give you all the information but …
