As usual, YALC was an incredibly exciting and fun weekend and, unsurprisingly, I came home with A LOT of books. (My suitcase was a beast.) I’ll have a full YALC wrap up going up on my blog next week, but in the mean time, I’ve decided to co-host a readathon to give people the chance… Continue reading YALCathon TBR // Getting through those YALC ARCs
OK, so the title makes this post sound a little overdramatic, but it’s not clickbait, I promise. I started Tome Topple with all the best intentions of reading at least three books, but in the end I only managed to finish half of that. So in my eyes, I did kind of fail. I’m sure… Continue reading Tome Topple 2018 Wrap Up // Why I failed the readathon
We’re just over a week into the Tome Topple readathon, and I thought I’d post a brief update of how my reading is going. Despite my best intentions to read at least two tomes between working, commuting, and going to visit my boyfriend for the weekend, I haven’t read very much. I’m behind, guys. Very… Continue reading Tome Topple Readathon // Week one update
My first thought when I wrote this title was that’s some GOOD alliteration. My second was, am I actually going to do this while simultaneously trying to read book for YALC? Yes friends, yes I am. Tome Topple is a readathon created by Sam @ThoughtsOnTomes with the aim of reading BIG books. This round of the readathon… Continue reading Tome Topple 2018 TBR
March was a month of some real ups and downs. For about a week, I felt dejected, but as the month progressed I celebrated my Dad’s birthday, spent Easter with my family, and by the end of the March I’d bounced back. One of the biggest things I did last month was organise my very… Continue reading March Wrap Up (The month where I organised a readathon?!)
One of my reading goals for this year was to participate in more readathons, but so far I haven’t taken part in any. That is, until this weekend. Since it’s a four-day weekend in the UK, I wanted to get a lot of reading done, and one of the best ways to do that is… Continue reading Easter Weekend Readathon: Announcement and TBR
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was 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 is the first week that TTT has moved over… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Reading Goals for 2018
I had a pretty good reading month this month, despite not getting through all the books I wanted to for TBRTakedown. As a result of deciding to do a readathon half way through the month, my TBR changed a little bit. These are the books I originally planned to read: Plus these if I had time:… Continue reading June Wrap up
Day four followed the pattern of the first three days were I was at work for most of the day (this time helping run a university open day) and only had reading time in the evening. During day 5, however, I had a breakthrough. I was only working a half day on Friday which left… Continue reading TBRTakedown 4.0: Days 4 and 5
I have hit a wall. And that wall was work. I have two jobs in the university at the moment and I ended up doing work for both of them over the last two days, which amounted to about 17 hours in total. And I’ve been to the gym both days. And chilled with my boyfriend and… Continue reading TBRTakedown 4.0: Day 3
