Heartstream was one of my most anticipated reads from my YALC TBR this year. There was so much hype around Tom Pollock this time last year due to the release of White Rabbit, Red Wolf and i never got around to picking it up.

The Quiet At The End Of The World by Lauren James
I really love Lauren’s writing, and i have for a long time, so Quiet was a hugely anticipated book for me in 2019. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the story, because of the masterpiece of The Loneliest Girl In The Universe, however i absolutely loved Quiet.

Trouble by Non Pratt
I have had Trouble on my shelves for a long time now, and as this is my third year of YALC and adoring Non, i felt like it was finally time to actually read one of her books. I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews of Trouble, but i wanted to find out for myself what i thought.

At first i took no interest, however as time passed and continuously seeing it on friends Twitter and Instagram accounts, i picked it up.
BEDM: Release by Patrick Ness – Review
Patrick Ness has very quickly become one of my favourite authors in the last few years. I find his books so very relatable but with twists that make them extraordinary.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas – Review
Simply put, this is one of the most powerful and thought provoking insight in to the way other people live i’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. I was in a little bit of a YA slump until i read The Hate U Give. It completely blew up in America and was fueled by the movie rights being bought. I went in to it thinking it was over-hyped, but it’s simply phenomenal.
