Hello all! Hope you're all enjoying the summer! I'm currently on holiday in a huge castle in the South of France and enjoying relaxing, playing games, and of course reading a lot! Today's post is a review of a dreamy summer romance that's perfect for your holiday TBRs! Title: A Sky Painted Gold Author: Laura Wood Series: n/a Pages: 356 Publisher: Scholastic Date of Publication: 5th July, 2018 Source: Publisher for review* Synopsis from Goodreads: Growing up in her sleepy Cornish village dreaming of being a writer, sixteen-year-old Lou has always wondered about the grand Cardew house which has stood empty for years. And when the owners arrive for the summer - a handsome, dashing brother and sister - Lou is quite swept off her feet and into a world of moonlit cocktail parties and glamour beyond her wildest dreams. But, as she grows closer to the Cardews, is she abandoning her own ambitions... And is there something darker lurkin...
Another month is over - this year is going so quickly already! I've managed to read lots of books this month, however the reviewing has slowed down significantly... Ahh well, it seems you cannot have everything! Now, onto the books!
Top Girls and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde were read for school, and while I absolutely despise Top Girls and loathe it with every sense of my being, it's for coursework so I have to suffer through it. I was pleasantly surprised by Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde though, it's actually a good read. As you can probably tell I've read a lot of Ally Carter - I've caught up with the Heist Society series and GAH her books are SO GOOD MAN. I love them and am so sad that there are no more for a while now. Echo Boy by Matt Haig was a really fun read - a hundred miles an hour non stop futuristic thriller - I loved it. The Blood List by Sarah Naughton was really great too - I think Sarah's a really underrated author so definitely check her books out!
My favourite book of the month though, by far, was FANGIRL!
It's SO GOOD and I thought I wouldn't like it but I loved it and now I can't stop recommending it to everyone I know. You can read my review here if you still need convincing!

REVIEW: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
New books this month:
I actually bought lots of books this month for once! I bought Fangirl, Banished, Jessie Hearts NYC, and both Julie Kagawa books (The Iron Legends and The Iron Traitor). I'm reading Banished at the moment and it's really good so definitely look out for that in shops! I've heard really great things about both Maggot Moon and Every Day so I couldn't pass them up when I found them on the shelves at the library. The rest of these books were received for review, so thank you to Simon and Schuster Children's Books, Puffin, Hot Key Books, Hodder & Stoughton and Chicken House for all of these! Particularly looking forward to Where The Rock Splits The Sky and Sleuth or Dare!
I'm looking forward to reading in March...
