Thought I’d do a quick discussion post this Tuesday as things are still hectic and I forgot my list journal with all my blog post ideas – oops! Over the past few months I’ve been looking at how I have rated books. When I’ve looked back it looks like I’ve given quite a few books… Continue reading How I Rate
I love a good audio-book I tend to listen when I’m at work, doing house work or exercising…..okay exercising might be a little fib at the moment 🙂 but the point is that audio-books for me really help with all the mundane day to day chores. I’ve been thinking recently about what makes a good… Continue reading Discussion: What Makes A Good Audio-Book
Back in January (which feels like years ago!) I set myself some bookish goals, which you can read here, one of those goals was to start the 5:1 challenge. To re-cap the 5:1 challenge is where you have to read 5 books you already own before you can buy 1. I amended this just slightly so… Continue reading Bookish 5:1 Challenge – An Update
Happy Valentines day everyone! Remember today whether you are “celebrating” or not you are loved! As it is valentines day I thought it would be good to do a post about my fictional loves! I am not the kind of person who has many and it takes a lot for me to fall for a… Continue reading Fictional Loves
There was a time, not so long ago, when I would force myself to finish a book or a series on principle. Now I’m a lot more open to DNF-ing books and series if I’m not enjoying them.

I’ll start this with a disclaimer I am in no way able to give tips on how to cut down your physical TBR’s and help you get through the books you already own. However last year I managed to cut down my Goodreads TBR to 15 books and my Goodreads wishlist to 9! With it… Continue reading TBR Tackling Tips
Today is my first day back at work after what seems like a very long Christmas break so to cheer myself up a little I thought I would look back on some of my favourite books of 2016! I’d love to know your favourites or even your least favourites so be sure to link your… Continue reading 2016 Favourites!
So I posted about my 2017 goals this week but that was quite a general sweep of personal and reading etc. I’d like to elaborate on some of the specific goals I have for reading here. I don’t want to be too strict on myself and take the joy out of reading but I do… Continue reading 2017 Bookish Goals
So as 2016 draws to a close I am doing what I’m sure most of us are doing. Sitting around and evaluating 2016 to see what I can improve on. I’ll be splitting this into 3 sections. Reading, writing and personal. I’ll keep it swift and list form and I should probably say I’m not… Continue reading 2017 GOALS!
It has been a few weeks now since NaNoWriMo came to an end so I thought I would do a super quick update on my post NaNo writing plans. In terms of the project I was working on in November I am leaving it to settle for a couple of months and I am planning… Continue reading Post NaNoWriMo Plans
