Revamped Feature | Let’s Talk YA #1

Posted January 17, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Let's Talk Books / 1 Comment

Hello my Bookish Friends. It’s Friday! Yay! What better way to kick off than with a old feature but revamped for 2020. Let’s Talk YA started with my co-host Emily from A Short Book Lover. It’s all about talking books rather than just liking and Retweeting posts. So today I’m kicking it off again and this time it will be about any book we’ve ever loved. It could be an old favourite. A forgotten book and not just UKYA. We are mixing it up. So this will be a weekly feature unless I have something else planned. So welcome to […]

DISCUSSION | How to track your Reading

Posted January 13, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 8 Comments

Morning my lovely readers. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I think we all needed after our first week back to work. Last year on Twitter, I hosted loads of polls about reading and blogging and one them is about how people track their reading. I was really intrigued to be honest, there isn’t just Goodreads which is what I ultimately use to be honest there is so much more. So today I thought I would draw together all the ideas in this post and also talk about how I’m going to track my reading for 2020. Tracking your Reading […]

Book Review | A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer

Posted January 10, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review / 1 Comment

The sequel to ACSDAL! One thing I mentioned in all of the first book is that I wanted to more Grey and boy did I get that. It’s really hard to review without giving so much away in terms of spoilers if those who have or haven’t read the first book. I started this a good week and but before Christmas Eve but work was terrible so I really started it on Christmas Eve and I couldn’t put it down. It was finished at the end of Christmas Day. An unputtadownable series. I really hope this review doesn’t become a […]

Hello my bookish friends, I’m SO EXCITED to introduce to you my first new feature of 2020 hitting my blog. At the beginning of each year we all do our anticipated reads of 2020.

Welcome to Seasonal Reads – Winter. My top releases for January – March! A […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Today is officially the 1st day of 2020, and 2019 is now last year even though it was only yesterday. Crazy. Whilst I thought I would go right ahead and do my anticipated reads and reading goals, I thought I would wrap-up last year officially with my last wrap up post of 2019. December was a brilliant month, full of festivities at work and at home and then finally spend Christmas with my family. The beginning of the month was very chaotic, as you can probably imagine in all working environments. In a school it’s almost […]

Hello Everyone, I’m back from my Christmas break yesterday and I had such an an amazing time with my family. It was also more like a Christmas Reading Retreat too. I read 3 books in 5 days which is a first in a very long time. 2 of which are Harry Potter books and another a hotly anticipated 2020 release. It was so nice being totally away from my social media and blog for 5 straight days that I feel amazing in myself and ready to plan 2020 with lots more books and lots more blog posts – I think […]

My Christmas Break & TBR

Posted December 23, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, TBR / 2 Comments

Hi Everyone, how are we? Are we all on our Christmas holidays yet? I hope you are, you all deserve it! I am and loving it! I broke up onThursday and won’t return to school until the 6th Jan, I think this could potentially be the longest Christmas holiday’s we’ve had. I started it with pretty much cosy days in front of the TV and letting my brain relax. You need that right!? 🎄 One thing I love about Christmas break is family and books. Why you might ask? Well a) I spend a whole week stay with my grandparents. […]
