Our latest Book Club meet up was last Thursday, a week later than usual as we were both away in London for YALC the week before. We decided to read Heartstopper: Volume One by Alice Oseman for July, a graphic novel developed from her webcomics. You can still read Heartstopper online for free if you wish to! We are continuing using the Google form responses in our Book Club posts to get direct thoughts from people who have read it – those who have both been to Book Club or can’t make it but still want to join the conversation.

February 2016 Wrap Up
I had very little hope for reading this month as it’s been my 21st birthday and general business! I’ve had next to no time to sit down and read a book so obviously that’s resulted in my wrap-up being awfully small. To make up for it there’s an absolutely huge book haul (I know, I somehow found time to buy books but not read them! Either way I’ve managed to get a few books read this month that I’ve been wanting to read for a while so that helps make my TBR a little smaller!
December 2015 Wrap-Up
After a very big reading slump in November, I managed to pull myself back in to the swing of things in December! Hurrah! I read in total 4 books and 1 graphic novel in December and I have to say that I enjoyed every one of them! Hopefully I’ll continue to read more in to the new year but with a lot of university deadlines coming up, who knows what will really happen! Here are the books that I read this month!
