The books that shaped me as a reader – The Early Years!

Posted April 22, 2022 by Emma in Blog, Book List, Bookish Post, Favourites / 4 Comments

Happy Friday my fellow bookworms. This post was semi written around the time of World Book Day. They celebrated 25 years this year and as a librarian I celebrated in style – dressed as my favourite character which was Bella from Twilight. Anyways the theme was ‘You are a Reader’ and it got my thinking about my reading journey and the books that have shaped me. I’ve decided to go in chronological order from when I was toddler, too now in 5 blog posts. I really hope you enjoy this post, I even used the original covers that I had […]

Posted April 20, 2022 by Emma in Bookish Post / 0 Comments

It’s been a while since I wrote a review so I might be a bit rusty so bear with me. Tonight I’m exciting to be part of (a day late) to the social blog tour of Wish this Kiss by Carrie Hope Fletcher. I was so absorbed in finishing the book that I wanted to do the review justice especially after being absent for so long on my blog. So I am going to head straight into my thoughts. But here is a little bit more on Carrie’s newest release. My Thoughts CAWPILE – 7.14 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My first Carrie […]

Hello my lovely bookworms, these days I seem to be writing loads of posts and then they stay in my drafts. This was meant to go out last week but Last week was International Women’s Day and it got me thinking and I really wanted to share some of my favourite female writers who create fierce female character we aspire to be or inspired by their character. It will come to no surprise about some of the books that I’m talking about today, but some of these are the strongest female authors and character I’ve read. So without furhter ado […]

My 2022 Bookish Intentions

Posted January 17, 2022 by Emma in 2022 Books, Bookish Post, Wrap-Up / 2 Comments

Happy Monday my lovely readers. The best thing about the start of a new year is setting yourself new goals, new bookish intentions. Every year I make them and every year I generally fail, last year epically apart from actually passing my Goodreads goal which I lowered. So yay for that, I’m quite pleased about that. But this year feels like a special year when everything comes together, with a new house, new business comes new responsibilities and this year is all about fitting them in this new chapter of my life. This time last year I did these intentions […]

First of all I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! It’s 2022 and I honestly don’t know where 2021 has been. I’m writing this post 3 months after my last one. Let’s just say for me 2021 I have been notoriously absent from the book world. It’s been probably been the worst book blogging and books read year but believe me there has been plenty going on that has kept me occupied. I thought I would give you a bit of a life update I guess.
