Talking Music With Benjamin Zephaniah and Club Inégales

My first term at university has definitely been an interesting one: 3 A.M. fire alarms; living on pasta for a week straight because I didn’t have any other food and living with eight guys out of a flat of ten (imagine from that what you will; I’m pretty sure we’re closer than family) are just a few of the things I’ve had to deal with. But,…

Cruel Heart Broken

By Emma Haughton

  Genre: YA Published by: Usborne (1st July 2016) Pages: 336 Format: Paperback

Two impulsive decisions. Two toxic secrets. Too many hearts broken. Laurie is a good girl. So everyone thinks. But seven months ago, she did something she can’t undo. And it’s tearing her apart. Charlie used to be her best friend. He’s also done something he regrets. And now someone…

Soundtrack Saturday (#1 - Cruel Heart Broken) @Emma_Haughton #soundtracksaturday #blog #reading #music #books #readers

I love my music and I thought it would be able to create some soundtracks to go along with the books that I read. Unfortunately, I figured that I wouldn’t be the first one to have this idea and decided to have a hunt around on the interwebs as a result. Low and behold, I found Soundtrack Saturdays hosted by The Hardcover Lover! It’s a bookish meme, whereby people can create either full-length or…

The Pokemon Go Tag! #blog #booktag #blogpost #new #creativewriting #writing #2016 #books #bookblog

Hey guys!

So, I’ve been looking for a way to get back into blogging and I thought a book tag would be great way to start. Now, considering Pokémon Sun and Moon are going to be released very, very soon (I am so ready) I thought that the Pokémon Go Tag from Read At Midnight would be a great way to pay homage.

I’m not going to tag anyone seeing as this tag is a few months old now and presumably…

Hi guys!

I just wanted to let you all know that I will be moving to a new site: The Scribblers’ Cove. Not everything is finalised yet, but all of current content has been moved over to that site. I’m not sure how quickly I will have finished everything, but I’m looking to do so in the next week or two.

I really want to be able to make the site my own a bit more, hence the move so I hope you guys…

Darkened #poetry #amwriting #2016 #blog #spilledwords #spilledink #emotional

I came up with this little piece yesterday. It was written whilst I was listening to ‘Lights Down Low by MAX’, a song I only came across a couple of days ago and instantly fell in love with (the video is below!). I guess this poem is the opposite of the song, but I suppose then it’s like a question-and-answer type thing.

I haven’t come with a title for it yet – it’s ‘Darkened’ for now but I…

Update! #blog #amwriting #bookreview #2016

Hi!

I just wanted to announce that I’m officially a member of the Review Team for onlinebookclub.org.

I’ve just had my first book review published and I’m very proud of it, so I’d love it if you guys could head on over and give it a read (I’ll post an excerpt along with a link to the review under The Bookshelf).

Have a good day everyone!

What Lies Beneath #amwriting #poetry #spilledwords #blog #writer #writerslife #writing #2016

You know what? I look into your eyes, Shining shards of glass – Windows to something I can’t see, And I wonder.

To see my reflection is a strange thing, Staring back at me hopelessly distorted. I wonder what you see. Do you see The unfaltering smile that I carry, Only in your presence?

Sometimes I dare think you mirror me, For when I waved you did But no one else does. I’d like to think your…

Eve (The Eve Trilogy #1) #books #review #bookreview #writing #bookshelf #first

I decided it’s time for me to try out a new reading experience (or rather listening experience) so I borrowed an audiobook from my local library…

A dystopian future with the past thrown in for good measure. In an America where girls are separated from boys, Eve must find herself and uncover the truth about the world she lives in.

What I found refreshing about this book was that it truly centred…

A New Feature! #amwriting #blog #bookreviews #new #writing #spilledwords

Hey everyone!

I know, I know it’s been a while but college has had me swamped with work so I’ve found it difficult to post anything on here. I haven’t left writing alone, I don’t have much of a choice in that respect, but I haven’t felt that anything has been good enough to post on here.

I will get back to posting some of my writing on here when I can (probably after exams) so stay tuned until…
