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 […]

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 […]
