Month in Review(s) - August 2017
August. Yeah, August...
August, for me, was stressful.
My 88-year-old grandfather was very unwell and ended up in hospital, he's better now but we still have to do a lot to make sure he and my grandmother are safe, happy, and as healthy as they can be.

Month in Review(s) - July 2017
July was a big month for this little book nerd's blog!
This was the month that Diary of a Reading Addict (DORA) became Dora Reads - with a custom URL to match.
It's something that'd been on my mind for a while, and I'm so glad I did it!

Month in Review(s) - June 2017
June was too damned hot here in the UK.
It regularly reached over 28C, & often over 30C. I officially melt at around 23.5C, so I was NOT happy.

Review! (Graphic Novel Edition!) - Doom Patrol, Vol 1: Brick by Brick

Month in Review(s) - May 2017
Ahhhhh May. The month when we all gave up hoping 2017 would be better than 2016, and decided to just do damage control from here to Christmas.
(I joke - but only slightly. People in 1917 would be shocked by how short a distance we've come.)

Review! (Poetry Edition!) - The Princess Saves Herself In This One by Amanda Lovelace
Author: Amanda Lovelace
Genre: Poetry
A few starting notes:
I received a free digital review copy of this book via NetGalley. NetGalley provides review copies from publishers in exchange for fair and honest reviews.
There's been so much buzz around this book - including a Goodreads Choice Award for Poetry in 2016.
People love this book - and to hear this much about a poetry collection isn't an everyday occurrence, so when I got the opportunity to review it, I took it.
A note before we go on guys: This book deals with some very difficult topics in an open and often raw way; please be careful.

Review Time! - Room Empty by Sarah Mussi

Month in Review(s) - March 2017
March was difficult, guys.
My depression has not been good, and I had an awful cold.
So, between the two, my concentration was utterly shot. I also had a lot of work on, which I had to prioritise. (Because I need money.)
So, between the two, my concentration was utterly shot. I also had a lot of work on, which I had to prioritise. (Because I need money.)
The result of those factors was that I only wrote/published two reviews in March (granted, I did publish plenty of other posts too.)
I have to admit that, as my own worst critic, I'm kind of disappointed.
