Hi Everyone, tomorrow I’m going on holiday but I wanted to share with you a campaign that will be happening from the 9th August.

Hi Everyone, it’s the end of July already and I can’t believe it. The end of term finally came around and all I’ve done since is caught up on some reading – See my Summer Reading Post for more on what I hope to read these 6 weeks.

Next week I am off on holiday to Cornwall for a whole week so I can’t wait – although swimming in the see will be interesting as there was a shark […]

PERSONAL POST – MY SUMMER READING

Posted July 24, 2018 by Emma in Random Post, Summer Reading, TBR / 1 Comment

So working in a school means holidays and the big one the summer break – 6 whole weeks. Even though I am a librarian, reading should be second nature to me. But I honestly don’t have the time after work which is frustrating. I see all my students reading all the time and I actually feel quite jealous as I want to be like that again. So these 6 weeks can’t come quick enough. What I plan to do is read, relax and read some more. So this is my TBR pile that’s been growing since Easter break and I […]
