June

What I'm Reading:


I'm currently reading Cinderella is Dead and The Dragon Detective: School's Out. If you want to show your support for black authors this month, consider preordering Cinderella is Dead, I'm only 10% through so far but absolutely loving it. It's also a great book purchase for Pride Month. I'm planning to theme lots of my reading for Pride Month over the next few weeks (Wayward Son is still sitting unread on my shelf...) and also hopefully dipping into Make Your Myth Taker. The Court of Miracles comes out this month too, which I've been looking forward to reading since I first heard about it at the start of the year.


What I'm Writing:
Last week was a huge push to get two very different stories ready for The Times/Chicken House and Madeleine Milburn Mentoring competitions. I also posted a new short story on Wattpad - another gender-reversed fairytale, this one The Prince and The Pea. I'm now diving back into WriteMentor edits, with some brilliant notes from my fantastic mentor, Marisa Noelle (who has a new book out today!) and I'm hoping to get back into my free-verse YA fantasy story on Wattpad which I've been neglecting for far too long. 


Coming up on my blog this month:


I have plenty of picture book reviews lined up for this month, including Don't Call Me Grumpycorn, In Every House on Every Street and a special post for the release of The Perfect Shelter. I will also be taking part in the blog tour for In My Dreams (which I can't wait to read when it arrives) and posting about some special Barrington Stokes stories for Empathy Day. I have reviews coming up for Wonderscape, Midnight's Twins, Here Lie the Secrets, and lots more! 

What are you reading for June? Are there any new releases your really excited about?
