I have been reading fantasy and Sci-fi for over a decade after a dear family friend (who has now passed away) recommended the David Gemmel book 'Legend'. In a matter of months, I have polished off a large selection of David Gemmel's novels and was slowly falling down the rabbit hole of reading. Over the years, my thirst for reading has continued to grow…

Once I got going, I fell in love with everything about book blogging - the blogging community, the author contacts, the blog tours, the opportunity to support new…

In today's Blogger Spotlight, we're shining a light on Monika Reads. Monika Reads reviews a wide array of books but also puts personal content on there including their love for books and poetry and short stories.

When I joined Twitter, I noticed that a lot of people had their blogs and for years I wanted to do the same, but I never had the courage. Part of it stems from the fact that English is my second language, I was born in Poland but moved to the UK in 2008, and even though I speak, read, and write fluent English, there was that nagging doubt at the back of my…
