Hello my lovely readers, and we are now the third day into February. I can’t believe the first month of 2021 has already gone by, I think lockdown has made the first month weirdly long but not if that makes sense. It’s kind of passes us by. But what I loved about this month especially is that I set myself up some great reading goals and I can say that I have certainly accomplished them. This sets a strong precedence from the rest of the year. It’s giving me this positive mindset to reading that I’m absolutely loving. Last month […]

Posted January 1, 2021 by Emma in 2020 books, Book List, Bookish Post, Favourites, UKYA, Wrap-Up, YA / 5 Comments

It’s a new year my lovely readers. Be 2020 and welcome 2021! I’m writing this with Miss Congeniality on New Year’s Day and I reliving my Top Ten Books of 2020! Last year, wasn’t my finest year for reading. But I still read some amazing literature from Children’s to Adult. I felt last year I really read outside of my comfort zone, not too much but just enough to be comfortable in reading different genres. I read some fantastic middle grade books to fluffy, contemporary adult fiction. After each of my suggestion I will add a reason why it’s my favourite […]

November Monthly Wrap-Up – the ‘I redesigned my blog again’ edition

Posted December 7, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up / 3 Comments

Hello my lovely bookworms, it’s been a while since my last monthly wrap up post. I think the reason being is because reading has been a struggle the last couple of months. Since my last monthly wrap up post I was saying how I wanted to read and not blog as I didn’t have the brain power or inspiration because of work. Now it’s the complete opposite, the last month has been more blogging and very little reading. But now I think I’ve conquered it back to both. I’m excited because if you are reading this then you may notice […]

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 […]

Hello my lovely readers. I abandoned you again. Back to work and more tired again. Ha. But I’m hoping to kick my ass into gear and actually get myself organised again. Stay tuned for the relaunch of the blog series Booked-In that I started during the original lockdown.

I decided to recommend by books that are red which is obviously the colour of the Poppy. Each of these books are read and I absolutely loved […]
