POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

September was a whirlwind but one of the lovely things was that Wildcat and the Gathering Storm was released into the wild (see what I did there?) and it was a happy day!

Puffin and Lance are back on their adventures! The Wildcat series by @lui.land is such a special series to me and so it was really wonderful to welcome book two with such a lovely bunch 💕

No passport required! Where did you travel to through books last month? 🌍

I read thirteen books in total during September, including two proof copies, several books sent for review or gifted (AD PR), two library books and two second hand editions. Have you read any of these?
