I just reduced my Goodreads goal…
I don’t know about you, but I started 2025 full of hope. And it’s not that it’s been a bad year so far, there have been some really good times, but it has been busy and stressful and at times just plain hard. You may have noticed that this is my first post in a Continue reading

The Christmas Readathon Begins!
Today is the start of the Christmas Readathon, and just over a week until Christmas! I can’t quite believe it’s come around so quickly! While I have a few other books I’m finishing off, I have also planned a slightly ridiculous TBR for the Readathon… not that I’m planning to read all of these, but Continue reading

‘Tis the Season…
Yes, Eva from Read While It Rains and I are back once again with the Christmas Readathon! As usual the Readathon runs from 17th to 31st December and is designed to be super chill, so double up on your prompts, adapt them or ignore any that you don’t fancy, so long as you devote some Continue reading

Well, hello there…
cw: references to disordered eating It’s been a while, I realise. I definitely did not intend to take such a long and unexpected hiatus, but life happens sometimes.

The last couple of years I’ve been trying to curb my book buying by setting myself a budget based on how many books I read. It’s had mixed success, as I have a tendency to buy books when I’m stressed, particularly from charity shops, and the last few years have included a lot of stressful Continue reading

I moved, got married, started a new job, with all the excitement and stress that all those things entail. This meant that once again my ambitious plans Continue reading

Christmas Readathon TBR

The Christmas Readathon starts on Sunday and I am so excited to get going with some festive reading. I’m working right up to Christmas morning, and hosting family, so I’ve tried not to be too ambitious with my TBR, although after Christmas I have the rest of the year off (!) so hopefully I’ll be Continue reading

Christmas Readathon 2023!

I can’t believe how quickly the end of the year is approaching! It’s less than a month until Christmas, so it’s time to announce the plans for this year’s Christmas Readathon! I’ve been hosting this Readathon for many years on my BookTube channel – this is the first year I’m hosting as a book blogger Continue reading

October Reading Plans
Once again another month has slipped away without me finding much time to write… But I have a bit of leave at the start of this month so I’m hoping to get a bit of reading and reviewing done! September was a slow reading month, and I did not make much progress with my TBR. Continue reading

September Reading Plans – Series September
I slightly feel like I’m cheating as I’m posting TBRs each month but not wrap ups, so no one knows how well I’m actually doing with my TBRs… I am working on catching up all the previous months’ wrap ups, so you will get to see them eventually, and when I get properly into a Continue reading
