That’s right folks, Easter Readathon is back. I set this up last year as the first readathon I’ve ever hosted, and I enjoyed it so much that I’ve decided to run it again this year. How It Works Easter Readathon will run from Friday 19th to Monday 22nd April, over the holiday weekend. That’s four full… Continue reading Easter Readathon // It’s back for a second year with challenges and a giveaway
(Disclaimer: this post contains spoilers for the Illumicrate Magic+Mayhem box.) I picked up a lot of books at YALC in the last weekend of July, so I was on something of a book buying ban in August. I still ended up with two new books in August, but I was sent them, rather than buying… Continue reading August + September 2018 book haul // Book buying bans and V. E. Schwab
Despite my hopes and wishes for the hot weather remain here forever, things definitely cooled down in September as summer inevitably turned into autumn. Unpopular opinion, but summer is my favourite season and I really enjoyed the hot weather we had in June and July. So I was a little disheartened when the weather cooled… Continue reading September 2018 Wrap Up // Great poetry, a sweet web comic, and a diverse gay romance
July was fun, exciting, and hot. Summer is my favourite season of the year, and July always ends up being one of my favourite months. This month was no different. I only read four books this month because I was taking part in Tome Topple, the aim of which was to read 500+ page books,… Continue reading July 2018 Wrap Up // Readathons, YALC, and learning how to contour my face
It’s July, which means we’re just over halfway through the year and it seems like the perfect time for this tag. (And I am freaking out about the fact that I’m still six books behind on my Goodreads goal, so it’s relevant.) Best book you’ve read so far Vicious was one of the first books… Continue reading Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag
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
It’s finally July, which means YALC is in less than four weeks! (Take a shot of tea every time I mention YALC in this post. Please caffeinate responsibly.) I’m getting really excited for a full weekend of book signings, panels, and hanging out with friends, but I’ve got to finish a few books on my… Continue reading July 2018 TBR // The month where I panic-read for YALC
June was, of course, pride month, and I managed to pick myself up a cute little rainbow flag badge from Gay’s The Word, which is now a permanent feature on my summer jacket. I also decided to devote June to reading only LGBTQIAP+ books, since there are so many out there I’ve been wanting to… Continue reading June 2018 Wrap Up // I devoted the entire month to reading queer fiction and now I don’t want to stop
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 week’s theme is: June 19: Books to Read By the Pool/At the Beach… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Books that make great summer reads
May is always a pretty good month for weather in the UK, and I feel like I really made the most of it this month. I went to Sheffield for the early bank holiday and spent a long weekend chilling in parks and having BBQs, then later in the month I met up with blogging… Continue reading May 2018 Wrap Up
