Folks, I had a fast-paced December. I went to a blogging event, took part in a readathon, and celebrated Christmas and new year. I read nine books in December, which was a good high to finish the year on. The Poppy War // 4 stars // Hardback/Audiobook After putting this on hold for about 10… Continue reading December 2019 Wrap Up // Christmas, End of Yearathon, and hitting my Goodreads goal
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: December 17: Winter TBR There are loads of books I… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday // My winter TBR
I’ve got some exciting reading planned for November, but I’m only setting myself a gentle TBR. (By gentle, I mean not set in stone.) I’ve been finding more and more recently that I want to mood read, so I’m going to give myself the chance to do that this month. Below are some of books… Continue reading November 2019 TBR // A mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and contemporary

For Blogmas day eight, I wanted to theme my post around something that combines an icon of the festive season with our favourite things: ‘Bookmas’ trees. These tree-shaped stacks are time-consuming to arrange, but wonderful to look at, and I wanted to share a few of the best, strangest, and most original that I’ve come… Continue reading Blogmas Day 8 // The best, worst, and most unusual Bookmas trees I’ve come across

Since I’m doing Blogmas again this year, I decided to combine my November wrap up and December TBR so I could keep one of my 12 posts of Blogmas free for something else. (Original Christmas tag? Best books of the year? Books as the 12 days of Christmas? These posts are all coming.) I’ve also… Continue reading Blogmas Day 3 // November wrap up and December TBR
Yup, I said it, I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to and I almost caved on October 31st, but I made myself a promise. I know what happened last year, and I told myself I wouldn’t do NaNo this year because of it. NaNoWriMo – National… Continue reading Why I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year
Yep, I said it. As much as I love TBRs and they give me structure and goals for each month, during November, I’m not making one. I know this might seem out of character for me (it is), since I’ve been religiously setting myself a TBR each month since mid-2017, but I wanted to have… Continue reading No TBR November // For one month only, I’m not setting myself a reading list
Wow, where did February go? One minute the month had just begun and the next March had arrived. February is such a short month anyway, but this was compounded by the fact that I was on holiday for a week of it, so I didn’t actually get that much reading time in. These are the… Continue reading February 2018 Wrap Up (Aka the month where I STILL didn’t get to The Belles)
