It was my birthday earlier this week, which ended up not being the greatest day for a couple of reasons, but I did receive some books from my wishlist courtesy of my sister and some Twitter people which was really nice and cheered me up for a little bit. The Easter Wishlist books arrived earlier… Continue reading Birthday Book Haul

March Wrap Up: Crafts, Languages and A Little Reading On The Side
Ahh, March, the month that was more along the lines of "crochet, crochet, Castle and Bones on Disney+ Star, Animal Crossing, crochet, Duolingo Italian, knitting, get distracted by a new MP3 player, and maybe read a couple of chapters here or there..." I half expected it. Whenever I have a month of constant reading, there… Continue reading March Wrap Up: Crafts, Languages and A Little Reading On The Side
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Books: Seize The Day
I don't know about you but I certainly have a selection of songs that have helped me to not completely give in to the spiralling nature of the pandemic: Trip a Little Light Fantastic from Mary Poppins Returns, Try Everything from Zootopia/Zootropolis, One Day More from Les Miserables, and Seize The Day from Newsies.

Bookshelf Tour: Series I’ve Started and not Finished.
It is time to take apart my bookshelves, sort the series from the standalones, and pull out those that I've started but not finished.

It is a… Continue reading Bookshelf Tour: Series I’ve Started and not Finished.

February Wrap-Up
Hello, and welcome to what is a rather surprising reading wrap up for me, exploring new books and genres I don't tend to read. In total I read six books with one DNF.

What Book Generation Are You?
If there is one thing that gets us excited, it is a new book by our favourite author or a highly anticipated sequel we want in our hands as soon as the announcement goes live. It is a trait we have carried with us as readers throughout childhood into adolescence and adulthood, and even though… Continue reading What Book Generation Are You?
Five Star Predictions From My TBR
Hello and welcome to a post I haven't really done before, predicting what books on my shelved and unread TBR would earn a five star rating.
