And just like that, July ushers in August. I’ve always liked August because I have fond memories of school holidays and getting up at 4am to go off on holiday with my family. This month, I won’t be going on any summer holidays (unsurprising, given the pandemic), but I will be participating in two readathons.… Continue reading August 2021 TBR // Merlin readathon and #ReadFatPositive
*taps mic* Is this thing on? Hello folks, it’s been a HOT minute since I posted a wrap up, but we’re back in business this month. I think I haven’t actually posted a wrap up since April? That’s THREE months ago, wow, I truly am an instrument of chaos. If you’re wondering WHY I haven’t… Continue reading July 2021 Wrap Up // Where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s theme is: July 20: Books I Read In One Sitting (or would… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday // Books I would have read in one sitting (if I was a faster reader)
It’s July and it’s SUMMER. ☀️ Summer is my favourite season, so I’m drinking iced coffees, enjoying the sun (when it deigns to show its face) and t h r i v i n g. (Well, aside from the weight of existential dread and growing pandemic concerns because the government has decided to ignore the… Continue reading July 2021 TBR // Summer reading and visiting family
In February, my main goal was to read sapphic books for F/F February and to read a couple of books by Black authors for Black History Month. I read 10 books in total, which about average for me. Four of those were sapphic books and two were by Black authors. If I’m being honest, I’m… Continue reading February 2021 wrap up // Finding my first 5 star read of the year
I’m so excited that it’s February because I’ve been looking forward to taking part in F/F February for ages. F/F February is an annual reading challenge hosted by Imi and Ellie over at Beyond a Bookshelf, and the aim is to read and celebrate sapphic books during all of February. February is also Black History… Continue reading February 2021 TBR // F/F February and Black History Month
January was a pretty good start to the year for me in terms of reading. I read 10 books, which is the same amount I read in January 2020, so I feel like I’m on track with my 2021 reading goal of 100 books. The Extraordinaries // 4.5 stars // Audiobook Content warnings for death… Continue reading January 2021 wrap up // Romance, BTS workouts, and lockdown (again)
Happy new year folks! I hope the first few days of 2021 have been positive for you, despite the worsening covid situation. This is my FIRST TBR of 2021 and I’m feeling excited and motivated to get lots of reading done this year. So motivated, in fact, that I’m setting myself a reasonably ambitious TBR.… Continue reading January 2021 TBR // Starting the new year off with ROMANCE
I read 6 books in December which wasn’t as many as previous months, but took me to a total of 120 books for the year. 120 is the most books I’ve ever read in a year, so despite 2020 being a hot dumpster fire, I was really pleased with my reading. After I hit my… Continue reading December 2020 wrap up // Hitting my reading goal for the year
With the end of 2020 fast approaching, I feel like a lot of us are having the same realisation. I haven’t read that book I said I was going to read earlier in the year. This happens to me every year. As well as the books that were already on my backlist, there are so… Continue reading Books I want to pick up before the end of 2020
