Savana's Instagram pic of the  prize won from  Glimpses's of Me  giveaway Hello sunnies 😎 Another Sunday another wonderful guest blogger! who is excited? I am!  Our Guest Blogger this week is the lovely Savana at The Biblio Life ! I met this wonderful girl after she won a giveaway I hosted on my bookstagram. After that we started chatting and I have grown to love her as a person and as a bookstagramer. Her feed is stunning!  Savana's favorite read in 2017 was Caraval by Stephanie Garber  and she has kindly agreed to share her review of it here in Glimpses of my Books. One of the many beautiful things about books is that there is a book for everyone. As the saying goes "If you don't like reading you haven't found the right book yet".  I say that because although I don't think Caraval was terrible, I did no love it. I gave it an average 3 stars. If you would like to read (reread) my review click  here   pic ...

I am so so so so excited to have this wonderful person here with us!  Our Guest Blogger this week is Ashley Townsend! yup! That's just for you Ashley 💗 One day (feels like forever ago now) I received this random message on my Instagram of a writer asking me if I would like to read her book. I don't often accept e-books but it sounded good, so I made an exception and said yes. A few days later the new bookish love of my life was dead 😭 I love Ashley.  I hate Ashley. Both those statements are accurate! 🤣 I am kidding... I obviously love her. But I shall remind her at every opportunity for the rest of our lives that she broke my heart 😄 The book in question on Goodreads:  Defying Shadows Her Favorite read in 2017 was Blacksouls by Nicole Castroman, and Ashley has kindly agreed to share her review of it here in Glimpses of my Books. But before we get to her review, here is a little Q&A with her and the many ways in which you can go ...
