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. 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. …

Happy Friday! What are You Reading this Weekend?

Happy Friday! I hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever you have planned. We're planning on having a roast chicken dinner on Saturday followed by some board gaming. I got himself Star Wars Villanous for Christmas (which he's already opened because neither of us have any self-control at all) so we might play that or …

What are You Reading this Weekend?

Happy Friday! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I'm dog-sitting my brother's gorgeous Staffordshire doggo this Saturday. She's still a puppy but thankfully out of that run everywhere and bite everything phase so she's no trouble to mind. This weekend I'm finishing the audiobook of How to Save an Undead City by Hailey Edwards …

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 …

Book Haul | Contemporary Romance & YA Fantasy

This week's haul is pretty much all contemporary romance. I did pick up one YA fantasy from Cassandra Clare which I'm sure pretty much everyone has already read. I enjoy Clare's books but I prefer fantasy that's a bit darker and more adult so I don't read it often. Pretty much all of these contemporary …
