Happy Sunday Bibliofriends, Characters Ahoy continues this week in Six For Sunday and now we're thinking about Brave Characters. Bravery seems to be a "must-have" trait in all SFF books.

Hey Biblifriends, We’re nearing the middle of May so I thought I’d better post my May TBR already... 🙈😂 April’s OWLs Magical Readathon was so brilliant and I’m thrilled I passed 11 of my 12 exams, but I’ve got to admit, it’s really knocked the stuffing out of me! It’s almost like I binged on... Continue Reading →
