May Round Up and Book of the Month

Hi everyone, I just wanted to apologise for the lack of posts in May. It was a pretty bad month for me personally as I went through a health scare, after a hospital appointment and waiting for test results I have finally been given the all clear and I'm looking forward to getting caught up on some blogging! Despite some personal problems May wasn't all bad and I read some pretty amazing books which I'm excited to share with you today!

May's Book of the Month is Under Rose-Tainted Skies 

by Louise Gornall

If you follow me on Twitter then you'll probably have already seen me gushing about this book as I certainly haven't kept my love for it quiet! Everyone knows that I love a good book about mental health and this book puts every little thought or feeling I've had about my own anxiety down on to paper in the most magical way. It's an absolute must read for anyone living with mental health (which means all of us, right?) and I suspect that it's going to be incredibly well received when it's released next month. It's one of my favourites of 2016 for sure!
