It’s Friday – What are you reading?

Posted November 20, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post / 1 Comment

Happy Friday my lovely bookworms. So I’m excited because I’m finally reading and enjoying a book that I will finally finish this weekend. It’s an accomplishment to actually finish a book which I haven’t done in ages!! So I’m taking this moment to record the fact that I’m reading and tell you all about the book that has cured my reading funk. Also a nice quick post so I can get back to reading and sadly working at this time, but I’m a librarian I can sneak in the odd page or two! 😅 I missed this, my blog, so […]

So before I go into my review I wanted to say that whilst it took me that long to read, it didn’t in any way effect my […]
