My apologies first as it has been some time since I last posted. Life has been incredibly busy and I have been contemplating if I should continue this blog. Book trailers are no longer as popular or as common as they once were, and this was a major reason for beginning this blog. I find I have less time now than I would like to dedicate to reading and reviewing young adult books. It may be that I move to Instagram and highlight my favourite reads with book covers and a small blurb.
