Hi! I’m Olivia-Savannah. I’m a Campaigns Assistant at Canongate, an independent book publisher. I studied English Literature and Creative Writing at university. I’m based in the UK but I visit the Netherlands where some of my family live from time to time. I love reading, writing, travel, yoga, cooking and baking. I enjoy reading all genres and age audiences. Nice to meet you x

That Arrow to the Moon cover is so good. Unhoneymooners sounds like peak enemies-to-lovers 😂 When Women Were Dragons sounds so good! I like the cover of The Lamplighters too.

[the_creepy_geek]

I really enjoyed The Unhoneymooners! It thought it was so much fun!! The Lamplighters sounds really good, I think that's the one that's based on real events which is cool!

[AbiofPellinor]

The Girl with the Louding Voice is one I've been so tempted by!

[GemofBooks]

I loved The Girl with the Louding Voice and The Paper Palace.
Some fab books!

[Priscilla_Bettis]

Dang, these are beautiful editions for your library. Enjoy! To answer your question, I just got Wounds to Wishes, a horror anthology ARC from Crystal Lake Publishing. It's about grieving people, grief horror, emotional horror. It's very good, but I'm going to need a palate cleanser afterwards!

[maartjedegroot]

I loved loved loved The girl with the louding

[RememberedReads]

I’ve never seen that edition of Disorientation before, but it’s such a better design than the other one! 👍

[FullyBookedMelissa]

The Katherine Rundell book is also on my TBR. Looking forward to your thoughts on it and glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[FullyBookedMelissa]

I am always mesmerized by the folio edition books 😍

[Ashleigh_Absurd]

That edition of Phantom of the Opera is sooo gorgeous 😍😍

I keep meaning to try out Christina Lauren will definitely try and pick some up if they are in the works. Love that store.

I hope you enjoy all of these

[LeanneRose]

Oooh really intrigued to hear what you make of Marian Keyes!

[rasaslase]

An Arrow to the Moon and Beasts of Prey is on my TBR too. I'm interested in Foundation, I have read I, Robot and really liked it.
Hope you'll enjoy all of these
💛💛💛

[chloejade]

I am mind blown that ‘Christina Lauren’ is a duo and not one person!! Whatttt 😲 How did I not know this 🤣

[novellenovels]

I found the lamplighters in a charity shop on my holiday and I’m sooo excited about it. You got so many books that I have which I love 💗

[HasabeMizurukara]

Disorientation was so good. I also enjoyed Nothing Burns As Bright As You. I've heard mediocre things about An Arrow to The Moon.

[est.]

I'm currently reading Dracula by Bram Stoker and The Maid by Nita Prose. So happy that you're going to read The Girl with the Louding Voice, it's such an amazing book, I hope you like it!

[ThatsSoPoe]

Good luck with the classic sci-fi! It can be... problematic at times. I think Ursula K Le Guin is a good one to read, though. The most recent book I picked up was The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, which has a super pretty cover.

[WellTraveledBooks]

I can't wait to read An Arrow to the Moon! The premise of this one doesn't sound as appealing to me as The Astonishing Colour of After but I loved that book so much that I need more of her writing in my life! It is so funny because the cover of The Girl with the Louding Voice is one of my faves that I own! Haha I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it =) When Women Were Dragons sounds amaaazing.

[WildeBookGarden]

Oh my gosh you got a review copy from Folio Society?!!! that's amazing!!
ooh very curious to hear your review on An Arrow to the Moon!
I really loved The Unhoneymooners! I was slightly disappointed in The Soulmate Equation but I think a lot of that was personal preference - it was still well-done I think
Mrs. England is one I'm curious about too!
Yay, you're so welcome! can't wait to hear your thoughts on Love from A to Z. SO happy you enjoyed the essay! 💞 And someday I'll send my presents on time 😂
The premise for When Women Were Dragons is so good and I've enjoyed the author in the past, but reviews seem a little all over the place so I'm very interested to hear what you think!

[gaiaathena-books]

I have Pet and Bitter on my general TBR. Yay for An Arrow to the Moon! I hope you love it. I loved The Astonishing Colour of After. I loved visiting The Works when I used to visit my boyfriend in the UK (I was limited by suitcase weight though :P). I've read one Marian Keyes book, I haven't read Grown-Ups yet but it's on my general TBR (I think my copy might be orange instead of blue??). I loved Love From A to Z. When We Were Birds has a gorgeous cover, I agree. I hope you like Foundation! I haven't read it yet. I hope Read Me is good. I love isolated setting mysteries too. Historical Friction 😂.
