I’ve been looking forward to reading A Million to One ever since it was announced, what feels like years ago. So, I had some high expectations when I finally got the opportunity to read it. This is a high-stakes heist on the seas and was a lot of fun to read. I have to say it didn’t live up to all of my expectations but I did enjoy it.

Currently I’m…
I'm one of those people who always asks others what they are reading, watching and listening to. So, I started doing the 'Currently I'm...' posts to share my current books, TV shows and songs for other people who are as curious as I am.

The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith – Quote
A few days ago, I finished reading The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith and it is a truly unforgettable book. It is a story that will stick with me for a very long time. The book is full of beautiful quotes, so, I wanted to do what I normally do with a book that I enjoy, which is pick a quote from it and get designing.
What’s On My Netgalley TBR?
I've finally got my Netgalley TBR down to just a few books which is something I never thought I'd be able to do. I've got to stop requesting books and ending up with a never-ending TBR! I started writing these posts each month to see what was on my Netgalley TBR and hold me accountable when I haven't read them on time. Here are the books on my Netgalley shelf / TBR!
The Way I Used to Be – Amber Smith
The Way I Used to Be is a truly unforgettable book that I will forever be recommending. It is an extraordinary portrayal of trauma and I don’t think a book has made me as emotional as this one in a long time. I would highly recommend this book but please ensure you check the trigger warning before going in. TW: Rape, sexual assault, substance abuse.

One of my favourite things to do it be on the look out for new books! I love adding them to my TBR and pre-ordering ones I am particularly excited about.

Promise Boys – Nick Brooks
When a book is said to be perfect for fans of Angie Thomas and Karen M. McManus, I am of course going to want to read that book. So, when saw this and read the synopsis of Promise Boys I immediately wanted to read. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to read this book because it is absolutely incredible! It is an unputdownable YA thriller that uses multiple POVs to grip you into a shocking story.
Lord of the Fly Fest – Goldy Moldavsky
Lord of the Fly Fest is a whacky and surreal take on the classic tale of Lord of the Flies. It is Lord of the Flies for the social media age and I had a lot of fun reading it. Goldy Moldavsky is definitely an author who I will be reading more of in the future.
