On this page you can access all of my book reviews in one place.
As an English Literature student, I covered a wide variety of material whilst at university. Now I read anything from Young Adult fiction to thrillers and LGBT fiction but I am always looking to try new genres and authors.
If you have any recommendations for me to read and review, drop me an email at editor@thebloggingdj.com. You can also access my Goodreads account, which will have more detail on the books I am reading, through the below link. (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/101988385-darcy)
