Heart of Iron Buddy Read!
As devoted DenNerds, it should come as no surprise to anyone that myself and Sifa made a concerted effort to get to see Sooz when she came to the UK. Sooz travelled around the UK with publishing house sister Ash Poston, best known for her Geekerella duology. I personally met Ash at MCM London and…

The Justice League Book Tag
Hello! My good friend Emma over at A Dreamer’s Library tagged me in this one! Originally created by Angelica and Rosie from The Book Cover Girl, I’m looking forward to doing this tag because I’m a bit of a Superhero fan. More of a Marvel Girl than a DC girl, BUT – WONDER WOMAN FOR…
