You know what time it is?  It's giveaway time! It's been a while since we've hosted a giveaway, so now seemed like the perfect time. Why is that, you ask? In case you're not aware, the highly anticipated release of The Raven King is upon us! After a long wait and many pushed-back release d…

And just as thought I was doing well .  I've recently decided to put myself on a book buying ban, and spend some money on clothes, seeing as a lot of mine are quite outdated. So I got ready, went into town and thought I should go get some clothe- oh look, the bookshop!  I bought myself two books and zero …
