Hey everyone! I am FINALLY making my Mental Health Book Bingo TBR! I have so many books that I want to read that it was so difficult to try and choose which ones I'm going to try to prioritise. (Don't know what the Mental Health Book Bingo is? Go here!) I'm going to be tackling …

under rose-tainted skies review

Under-Rose Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall is an own-voices book about a teenager with agoraphobia and OCD. It was my pick for the Mental Health Book Bingo 'MC with 2 or more mental illnesses' square. At seventeen, Norah has accepted that the four walls of her house delineate her life. She knows that fearing everything …

Please welcome Akemi Dawn Bowman, author of Starfish to the blog! I am incredibly excited to have interviewed the author of one of my favourite 2017 releases.
