I'm Loving: WRD Magazines

It's obviously no secret that I love books, especially when it comes to books for younger readers - from picture books to YA. So imagine my excitement when I discovered there is an amazing magazine dedicated to sharing children's books!

WRD magazines are for children aged 8-13+ (these are spread across two separate magazines, which I will talk about in more detail later in the post). The company rebranded as WRD in 2013, after previously being known as tBkmag. They really are the best source of up-to-date releases and what is happening in the world of children's books. The magazines include interviews, special feature pieces and - my personal favourite - extracts from new releases so you can have a sneak peek at some new books.

Book Review: You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson

Hi everyone!

This book review was supposed to go up weeks ago but I suppose I'll try to use the line "better late than never" here.

I was very excited about the release of this book so I'm sure you can imagine how much that multiplied when I was offered an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review (I'm just sorry that the review wasn't quite as advanced but thank you to Scholastic for sending it to me!)

The Wrong Side of Kai Blog Tour: Writing Q&A with Estelle Maskame

I have been a huge fan of Estelle Maskame's writing since the very first page I read. It's always captivating and hard to put down. I've found this with every book, from the Did I Mention I Love You? series to her first stand-alone novel, Dare To Fall.

Estelle Maskame is back with her new book, The Wrong Side of Kai, which I have been desperate to read since the day it was announced. I am so thrilled to be involved with the blog tour, so thank you Ink Road for asking me to be a part of it.

As a fan of her writing, I decided to ask Estelle some questions about her writing, from the way she creates her story to where she likes to write.

So, here is my writing Q&A with author Estelle Maskame...
