So, @faerieshelf and I are 600 views away from 10,000 all time views on http://beyondabookshelf.co.uk"> http://beyondabookshelf.co.uk which was our goal for our first year and we still have another 2.5 months left until our one year anniversary!
Here& #39;s a thread of our best and/or fave posts from our first year!
Here& #39;s a thread of our best and/or fave posts from our first year!
In our first week of blogging together we posted the now AWARD-WINNING Sapphic Masterlist for #FFFeb2020! We update this ever year so look out for the 2021 edition coming in the next few months... https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/sapphic-masterlist/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/sapp...
Our first review on the blog was from me when I blitzed through @LauraSteven& #39;s THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS in just a few hours one afternoon and adored it https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/the-love-hypothesis-review/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/the-...
Ellie& #39;s first review was HAVENFALL by Sara Holland so we kept it on brand by both reviewing sapphics to get us started

We also had the incredible opportunity to host an exclusive bonus story from @bexhogan& #39;s ISLES OF STORM AND SORROW series
Bex also just revealed the cover of the final book of the series, VULTURE, so go check that out too! https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/viper-bonus-content-bex-hogan/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/vipe...

And Ellie added to that with some queer films and TV to go along with it! https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/lgbtq-film-tv/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/lgbt...
We did a mid year wrap up... I& #39;m intrigued to see how our end of year shapes up now that I& #39;m looking back on this

We launched our first ever #AspecAugust, along with another masterlist of books featuring a-spec characters, as per usual, this was masterminded by the incredible @faerieshelf https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/a-spec-masterlist/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/a-sp...
We started a new regular feature which goes out every other week called #Fave5, beginning with our good friend and writing pal, @morganicbooks https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/5-sibling-books/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/5-si...
Alice Oseman& #39;s LOVELESS split readers opinions over the summer (including ours, as I DNF& #39;d) but Ellie wrote an incredible review looking at both sides and discussing the issues while also highlighting the importance of the asexual rep to questioning aces https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/loveless-review/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/love...
I had the opportunity to get an early copy of the highly anticipated sequel to AMERICAN ROYALS by Katharine McGee and absolutely adored it https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/majesty-review/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/maje...
Meanwhile, Ellie was adoring k-pop contemporary, I& #39;LL BE THE ONE by Lyla Lee https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/ill-be-the-one-review/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/ill-...
I caused a slight stir on twitter with a WAP tweet to promote 5 steamy romances you should read this autumn... i stand by it, you should read them

Finally, after nine months blogging together, we finally did a joint review and it was my favourite read of 2020, THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE by V.E. Schwab https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/the-invisible-life-of-addie-larue/">https://beyondabookshelf.co.uk/2020/the-...
