I have finally met a book whose title exactly reflected how I felt while reading it. It really was the best day ever reading The Best Day Ever.

Basically, you just have to get yourself a copy of this book. It will make your heart race, your spine tingle and your eyes want to race on and read faster than you can keep up. This is a fantastic debut from Gemma Metcalfe and I can't wait to see what she delivers next.

It will be a hard struggle, but I will get through, at least for the sake of Joyful Antidotes. Let’s kick off with … Continue reading Empties Post #3
