This week I am joined by Jordanne from the fun bookish podcast Books to Last, where guests talk about the 5 books they’d take with them to a deserted island. And we’re talking about a book that has been on both of our TBRs for quite a while, Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor...
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros is a hit. With a massively positive score on sites like Goodreads, Amazon and Waterstones, if you’re a fan of fantasy then it’s likely you’ll have heard of it. It’s been hugely hyped up everywhere, but if you’re not sure whether it’s your thing but you don’t want to read...
