Why everyone needs to have a To Be Read list!!

Whether you have a written list, an Amazon wish list, a Goodreads "Want to Read" list or just buy all the books you want to read, most avid readers you come across will probably have a lengthy TBR list, and I personally think it's the best thing!
I love adding to my list when new books are released or when I see a review on an ARC someone posted. There is almost a comforting feeling about it. Like I always has a new friend waiting to meet. The best are the "bookstagram made me do it" books!
The TBR list is also the perfect gift list to provide to someone. I mean, if you love reading enough that you have a TBR list, you probably think getting a book as a gift is one of the most thoughtful things ever!

I'm so excited to support authors by being part of amazing book tours. Check out Doorway to the Sunset by Clemency Crow, book 2 in the Feather Down series. It is set to release on July 4, 2025. Thank you Bewitching Book Tours for letting me be a part of these tours.

Book Description:

Freya thought life would go back to normal after she forged a fragile peace

between the warring bird tribes. But when a terrifying supernatural creature targets

her, Freya is pulled back into the hidden world of ancient rivalries and dangerous

secrets.

Forced to take refuge among her enemies, she must navigate the icy politics of the

owl king’s court and uncover the truth about her mother’s mysterious ties to the

tribes. Teaming up with old friends and unexpected allies, Freya embarks on a

daring journey to unravel the mystery behind the predator stalking her and stop the

forces threatening to destroy everything she holds dear.

Time is running out, the peace is crumbling, and Freya must find the courage to

stand tall. Can she unite the tribes—or will she become the next victim of an

ancient curse?

About the Author

Clemency is a primary teacher in the tip-top north of Scotland, who enjoys reading middle grade adventures as much as she loves writing them.

Growing up in North Lincolnshire, in an old, haunted farmhouse, she developed her imagination from a young age. The garden provided not only plenty of opportunities for play and den building, but a chance to observe the wildlife, which gave rise to her series Feather Down.

When she moved to Caithness at the age of 16, she took her love of birds, nature and writing with her, beginning to develop her abilities as an author.

Clemency began a degree in Astronomy several years ago which she is slowly completing part-time. She has used the knowledge gained from her studies to write books such as “Tour of the Solar System: Not just the 8 planets” and plans to publish many more science books for children.

When Clemency is not writing, she is either gardening, playing with her two energetic spaniels, or looking after her quail and chickens, the latter of which has discovered a new hobby: escape from the coop and raid the orchard Viking-style. Her upcoming book, Doorway to the Sunset, is the sequel to Taking Wing, and is due to be published by Crowvus on the 4th July 2025.
