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 […]

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 […]
