August Wrap Up

Sep 1, 2018Oct 12, 20191 Comment

I'm planning to actually get this up on time for once, so this should be reaching you on 1st September.

This was a successful reading month for me, as I read … Continue reading August Wrap Up

For a while, I've been regularly posting pictures of my TBR pile on Twitter and a bit on here. Then I had a brainwave. With my new shelves, I could actually organise this mess of a TBR, so I dedicated a shelf to all the books I need to read. Here's the first glimpse into … Continue reading Introducing my TBR shelf

Today, I have the author of the incredible Extinction Trials series, which I have fallen in love with this year. It's a mix of dinosaurs, dystopia and deceit that I found impossible to put down. The woman behind it all, the brilliant S. M. Wilson, joins me on the blog today for a dinosaur-laden chat that … Continue reading Interview with S.M.Wilson

So, as it's now Bank Holiday Monday, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to try out the Bank Holiday tag that the lovely Cora from Tea Party Princess created!

This is my first book tag on the blog and it was created by the lovely Sarika from Between The Pages. I thought it was such a cool idea and I'm a massive Harry Potter fan, so I decided to give it a go. Accio: An upcoming release you wish you could get your hands on … Continue reading Harry Potter Spells Book Tag

Current Physical TBR 20.08.18

Aug 20, 20181 Comment

This is yet another regular feature of my blog that I'm trying to be more consistent with and it was born on Twitter, where I would share my TBR photos and tag the authors. I brought it over to my blog to show what kind of books I'm in the mood for reading this week … Continue reading Current Physical TBR 20.08.18

Books I’ve Read This Week

Aug 19, 2018Sep 23, 20183 Comments

I've been a bit hit and miss with these weekly wrap-ups, as I've had so much on (which you'll find out in a post next week) and I've just run out of time to blog. However, I'm back today with everything I've read since the beginning of August, as I decided to just consolidate it … Continue reading Books I’ve Read This Week

Checking my July Goals

Aug 10, 2018Sep 23, 2018Leave a comment

So I have a set of monthly goals that encourage me to read more diverse books, which I obviously want to help promote and I really enjoy reading about experiences that are outside my own. It's so nice to see some representation that matches myself sometimes, so I just want other people to be able … Continue reading Checking my July Goals

July Wrap Up Part 2

Aug 7, 2018Aug 7, 20181 Comment

For my belated July Wrap Up, I decided to split my initial (very long) post into two shorter lists, with bite-size reviews and rating for each book. In case you missed Part 1, I read 22 books over the month of July in the midst of a very hectic time. Today, I'll share what the 11 … Continue reading July Wrap Up Part 2
