What I’ve Been Reading | Summer Wrap Up Part 1

My summer has been pretty shite. I have been quite sick since the end of May when I started vomiting my guts up on our travel day from Gran Canaria. Thankfully, we now know I have gallstones (which caused pancreatitis and an inflamed liver) and how to manage it while I'm waiting for my operation. …

What I’ve Been Reading | Spring Wrap Up Part 3

I've been quite sick the last few weeks hence the lack of posting and responses. I had to spend a few days in hospital which wasn't much fun but it's such a relief to finally know what's been up with me. Turns out I have gallstones which caused my pancreas and liver to become inflamed …

What I’ve Been Reading | Spring Wrap Up Part 2

Well, I was well and truly bitten by the reading bug this Spring which I've been very much enjoying. That is until I got sick after our holiday and switched to mostly watching TV. I still have plenty books to chat about with you though. I'm not going to go into much detail here cause …

My Favourite Books from 2021

What I’ve Been Reading | Autumn Wrap-Up

Hello, dear friends. As a distinct chill enters the air we say goodbye to Autumn and hello to Winter. November is just over and I have a definite itch to put up the Christmas decorations. I was half tempted to start bringing some small bits down from the attic last week but I held off. …

2022 Reading and Books Spreadsheet for Tracking

I have loved tracking my reading and books with this spreadsheet this year. I discovered the tracker on Smart Bitches, Trashy Books near the end of last year and fell in love with it! It suited my needs better than most of the trackers I've come across and their post was so helpful for someone …

What I’ve Been Reading | Summer Wrap Up

Ok, so I moved house this summer and that has been taking up pretty much all of my time. So much packing, unpacking, setting up, building furniture, etc., etc. Needless to say, I did not read much over the last few months but let me tell you about the little bit of reading I did …
