I'm also continuing my system of symbols to denote the diversity of books (which I introduced in my December Wrap-Up) with ⭐️ to represent BAME characters/authors, 🏳️🌈 for LGBT+ authors/characters and 💙 for disabled/mental … Continue reading January Wrap-Up

My Top Books of 2018
It's all been leading up to this. This year I have read 290 books and somehow, I had to whittle that number down to just 18 of my favourite books.

In October, I read a grand total of … Continue reading October Reading Wrap-Up
