Top 5 Books of 2022

Happy 2023! I read some amazing books last year. Mostly fun ones that held my attention and distracted me when I was feeling pretty shitty. When I first started my blog I felt so much pressure to read certain books and to read as many books as possible. Especially when I started a Booktube channel. …

What I’ve Been Reading | Autumn Wrap-Up

Happy end of Autumn (if you're in the same hemisphere as me)!! I absolutely love autumn but I find myself looking forward to winter this year. I'm quite enjoying the longer nights while wrapped up in a blanket sneaking in some extra reading time. I didn't read much in autumn but I very much enjoyed …

2023 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 2020 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 like …

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 …

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

Well, I was well and truly bitten by the reading bug this Spring! I have read waaaay more than usual, especially in March. I'm not complaining though. I have very much enjoyed this reading frenzy! Normally, I post seasonal wrap-ups every 3 months but this one had to be broken up so here is part …

What I’ve Been Reading | Winter Wrap Up

Happy Spring! I cannot tell you how happy I am to see the change in the weather. While it is nice to get wrapped up cosy with a book on a wintery evening I much prefer reading in the sunshine. There have been a few days already this March where I was able to lounge …

My Favourite Books from 2021

2021 was a bit of a funny year for me. We moved to a new house in a new county which took up most of my time last year. Our new home was also built last year which wasn't as big a job as it sounds but it was big enough. I had a lot …

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. …
