As a young, introverted and slightly precocious girl, anyone who met me would have described me as a bookworm. With a vocabulary above my reading age and a maxed out library card I assumed that my love of reading would follow me through my entire life. But at some point, between the stuffy university required reading lists and - let's face it - years of brain rot from the social media era, my love of finding a new book to sink my teeth into somehow diminished, and I found myself barely being able to open a new novel.

I can't wait to share them with you. Join me on the journey to discover the adult fiction that will make us fall in love with reading all over again.
