About Me

Hello! I’m Charlie, a twenty-two-year-old law graduate from the UK.
You’ll often find me with my head in a book, or with a Word document open – editing, editing, editing away.
Happy reading!

What have you guys been up to over the summer holidays? I really struggle keeping myself motivated when it comes to new ideas and plans. This year, to try and combat this, I made a Summer Goals list, and shockingly, I've nearly managed to complete them all! One of my biggest goals on there was to complete planning my own little wannabe-author historical fiction manuscript. Last summer, I wrote the first five chapters but due to university my motivation hit a real dead end. But it's back! For now at least! And once again, we are finally getting somewhere (and, hopefully, one step closer to that published author dream).
A mini-review of The Art of Dying by Ambrose Parry is now up on The Book Reviewer 🙂 (✳️ link in bio✳️) Publication date for this historical, crime fiction is August 29th. I know I said a full review would be up publication day, but as I sat down to write it I really found myself stumped 🤔 And I don't know because this has been one of my favourite reads this summer. So instead I decided it was time to add to the mini review section on my book blog 🙂 #theartofdying #netgalley
[non book related post] as if it's already been a month since graduation - time flies!
A review of Caravan by @adam_decollibus is now up on The Book Reviewer (link in bio + would appreciate the feedback 📚!) 'Photographer William Abbey seems a quiet soul; rootless - like so many - at the end of the Great War. Embarking on a mysterious quest in Morocco he is soon drawn into a colourful and disturbing world. Joining a desert caravan William slowly becomes aware of the intrigue and violence all around him. The author's travel experiences shine through - De Collibus has clearly enjoyed crafting every dangerous step of Williams's Saharan journey.' - Lucy Adlington (author of The Red Ribbon)
A big thank you to everyone who has given me the opportunity to review their books! This week I have received 2 new reads - one all the way from California, and another very close to my home in Birmingham, UK. I can't wait to get stuck in ! 🌸 Reviews and better photographs will be up soon (I just got a little too excited and wanted to share my TBRs now) 🌸

#bookstagram, I have a question for you: how to find reviewing books? Easy? Difficult? Does it depend on the book itself? The next Big Q I am uploading is going to be asking this very question, and so I'm curious how you guys personally find reviewing books!

[Giveaway now closed]
A review of The Other Life of Charlotte Evans by Louisa George is now up! (link in bio) 'Would you sacrifice your future to understand your past?...'
Tomorrow I am uploading The Big Q! #1, which asks why Harry Potter became so successful. But I want to apologise now for the quality of the photographs on the blog - I can't seem to get them to upload and retain good quality!! (This post is an example of it, but on the blog it looks so much worse too). I am gonna attempt to redo photographs over the weekend and eventually switch them because oh boy do they look awful in comparison to my other posts ☹️
Does anyone have a set way of writing reviews? I always have to write it 2-3 times on paper before typing it up as a draft online - what about you, #bookstagram?
