What I’ve Been Reading | Winter Wrap-Up

I read some excellent books this winter. That's one of the nicest things about winter. The longer nights just give you so much more reading time. I love getting cosy with some fluffy blankets and diving into a new story for a few hours. So, here are the highlights of what I read this winter. …

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.

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.

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 | Spring Wrap Up Part 2

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 …
