How I recovered from a recent Reading Slump | My top tips

Posted July 15, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 3 Comments

Hello my lovely bookworms, today I’m bring you a bit of different post, more of a discussion post. If you’ve kept up with my blog and my social media you might know that last month I was in a reading slump. I tried to pick up a book and read a few pages but my brain wasn’t invested and I didn’t feel like picking any other book. Which was so hard and I hated it – books surround me every day and I just couldn’t pick one up. Let me be honest with you all though…Last month a lot was […]

My Bookish Room | A Tour

Posted July 13, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post / 7 Comments

Happy Monday my lovely book friends! Today I’m really excited by this post. I’ve wanted to show off my updated room/shelves for a while. Over lockdown I’ve been doing some room improvements I guess. To fit with working from home but also making my room more of a sanctuary to relax in. Last year I shared a bookshelf tour here. With my famous TBR carts, cube bookshelf and wall shelf. Since then I’ve made some changes. I wanted a change, I felt inspired to make a small room as bookish as possible. Oh and it’s very very bright too which makes […]

It’s Friday – What are you reading?

Posted July 10, 2020 by Emma in Blog / 0 Comments

It’s Friday my lovely bookworms. A couple of weeks ago I did this random post – It’s Friday, What are you reading? and it got a really good response and I really enjoyed it just talking about what I’m reading at the mo. So I thought I would do another one with a little weekly reading update too. I’m also finally back to to my reading, albeit a little slow than slower, I am enjoying it a lot! This Week’s Reading – I finished a wonderful Middle Grade book, Rooftoppers, which I reviewed this week that honestly opened my eyes […]

Book Review | Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell

Posted July 8, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review, Middle Grade / 0 Comments

Happy Wednesday my lovely bookworms. Today I’m bringing you a special review. It’s strange you don’t usually see a review of a middle grade, children’s book as I’m predominantly YA and fantasy on my blog. But this book has changed my mind and here’s why. My Review This review was featured on my Instagram here as part of the Tandem Collective Rooftoppers Readalong, but I wanted to expand a little on my blog as this book truly appreciated books in a whole new way. I was so excited, I didn’t know what to expect to be honest from this book! […]

My Top 5 Favourite Books of 2020 so far – the year of sequels and debuts!

Posted July 6, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book List, Booked-In, Favourites / 4 Comments

Hello my lovely readers, so it’s July, over half way throughout the year. It certainly hasn’t been a great start to 2020 with the current situation but that hasn’t stopped me from reading. If anything it’s what I needed, books to escape into away from this reality. I’ve read some amazing books and I’m not the quickest of readers so rather than list loads, I thought I would list my top 5 from the beginning of 2020. So let’s forget the world right now and focus on my favourite books of the year so far especially during Booked-In. Top 5 […]

June Monthly Wrap-Up

Posted July 2, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 6 Comments

Hey everyone, once again the classic phrase – I can’t believe it’s July already! Which means it’s another monthly wrap-up post. I think this month I’m super excited by the start of the month, I feel it’s like a do-over of June as it was a pretty terrible month both reading and also not as active on here as I hoped. All these plans at the beginning of last month literally went out the window. I couldn’t read until the very last few days of the month. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been in a reading slump […]

Hello my lovely readers, today I’m really excited to be part of the blog tour for Love on the Main Stage by S.A. Domingo. As I mentioned in my previous post, I read her debut book Love, Secret Santa and simply adored it. Guess What!? I loved this one too. As part of the blog tour I’m sharing my review and my festival playlist. It’s a bit of a mix, but I sort listed to a lot of this whilst reading the book. THIS BOOK GOT ME OUT OF MY READING SLUMP! I was excited that after a month of […]

It’s Friday – What are you reading?

Posted June 26, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Contemporary, Music, Summer Reading / 2 Comments

Hello my lovely bookworms. The last couple of days has been scorching in the UK and I like many others hate it. It’s certainly not a nice heat, sticky and no sleep comes to mind. I’ve also been in a reading slump since the beginning of the June. But yesterday because I couldn’t sleep I opened a book, and I read. I loved it! So who knew a heatwave could cure a reading slump. Today would usually be a Let’s Talk Books post and in a way it still is. But I thought I would let you know what I’m […]

Top 5 Books I would love to read for the first time again

Posted June 24, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book List, Booked-In, Bookish Post, Favourite Author / 2 Comments

Hello my bookish friends. I didn’t post on Monday as I was pretty knackered from building my bookcase on Sunday. So today I’m bring you another one of my famous top 5 lists as parted of my Booked-In series. This time I’m revisiting and reminiscing some old favourites, books I wish I could open that book for the first time again and be immersed into the world. These books opened a whole new world of literature for me. There is so many books out there it can be overwhelming. So I’m going back to where my reading really began for […]
