Posted September 21, 2020 by Emma in Book tag, Bookish Post / 3 Comments

Happy Monday my lovely bookworms. I’m sorry I didn’t post that much more last week, work got the better of me and I got super tired. But this week I wanted to start off with a fun book tag.

Posted September 14, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up / 7 Comments

Helllllllloooooooo everyone. I haven’t been around, how are we all? I’ve missed you and posting on my blog. It’s been nearly over 3 weeks since I last posted. The reason mainly was work. I’m back to working as a school librarian after 6 months off, the constant thinking and over thinking was certainly draining and I just wanted to read and not blog. I found it difficult as I lacked the inspiration and brain power to come up or start writing some posts. BUT I’M BACK!! So this will be a month and half worth of a wrap-up post, including […]

Hello my lovely readers. A new week and a hot one it is in the UK. Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

It’s been a long time since I did that without any distractions and just the mind of Edward Cullen to read.
