Sunderworld’s Spotlight


When Blue from Kaleidoscopic emailed about the upcoming new Ransom Riggs, I was intrigued as it wasn’t linked to Miss Peregrine in any way but has a very 90s/Stranger Things, maybe even have a touch of Gravity Falls to it. Yes, I am going geeky/pop culture here as it has that 90-ness vibe to it, and as someone who grew up in the 90s, I am all on board with that. 

For those of you who didn’t grow up in the 90s (while I am out of my zimmer frame as, yes, I am that old), the 90s had the epic battle of Oasis vs Blur, women wanting The Rachel haircut, trying to figure out if you were a Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte or Samantha, GIRL POWER, the wave of New Labour and the Y2K panic, Harry Potter mania… I could go on and on about the 1990s here in the UK. 

For me, this is going to be a weird 90s vibe book (and I sense that I am going to be very wrong about that going into this, but it’s going to be a weird/fun ride!). 

But I am quite excited to find time to read this soon. Hopefully, I can intrigued you guys too and I will leave the book’s blurb below!

Spotlight - Healers: Secrets of the Academy


Last minute spotlight alert! I only decided to get involved in this tour late last night when Erik from BreakEven Books did a call out. And so, going in blind, I said yes and decided to go with whatever happens next. 

And here we are! Brace yourselves for this is new territory. Even for me! And here was me thinking today was a good day because the first episode of the new Line of Duty is out tonight! 

Now, not going to reveal much in the post (this tour is going to take place over the next few days and I don't want to spoil anything), so let me touch on what Healers: Secrets of the Academy by L. L. Smith is about.

The students of SalVaneerie Academy face a gruesome end at the hands of Shadow Knights! 
This army of mysterious and hollow Knights close in from the Dark Forest surrounding their campus. Healers, Warriors, and Brains; Must band together to repel these Shadow Knights and uncover their peculiar origins. Will Nicole amass enough friends to repel the attack? Will Hunter be able to overcome his performance anxiety? Will Theodore be able to discover the truth he seeks?
