“Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow” by Gabrielle Zevin: Embracing Tomorrow One Game At A Time (BOOK REVIEW)
As you should know by now, I am fascinated by the marketing and publicity side of publishing. Recently, I purchased a membership for The Publishing Post and came across an article spotlighting the campaign strategy for Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.

“Julie Chan Is Dead” by Liann Zhang: Self-Destruction In The Name of Fame (BOOK REVIEW)
Being home for a whole month means only one thing – I will most definitely run out of paperbacks to devour. This time was no different.

Since then, I’ve been revisiting her catalogue every year like a ritual. […]
“Girl, Woman, Other” by Bernardine Evaristo: Zero Full Stops, Yet Full of Life (BOOK REVIEW)
About a fortnight ago I received an email from my university’s library saying I should return all books I have taken on loan, following the expiration of my student status. Exams were over and summer was fast approaching, but I wanted to award myself one final read […]
