8 Years Blogging | 8 Top Tips for Requesting Advanced Reading Copies (ARCs)

Posted July 27, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post / 9 Comments

Happy Monday my lovely readers. Last week I celebrated 8 years of Never Judge a Book by it’s Cover and when it came to book blogger top tips post, how to request ARCs was at the top. Now whilst I have been blogging for 8 years, I’m still learning everyday to be on mailing lists and I am certainly not on every one. However, I am super grateful and honoured to be on many to request some amazing YA books over the years. So I’m saying ARC like everyone knows. But you could be a first time blogger or starting […]

How I recovered from a recent Reading Slump | My top tips

Posted July 15, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 3 Comments

Hello my lovely bookworms, today I’m bring you a bit of different post, more of a discussion post. If you’ve kept up with my blog and my social media you might know that last month I was in a reading slump. I tried to pick up a book and read a few pages but my brain wasn’t invested and I didn’t feel like picking any other book. Which was so hard and I hated it – books surround me every day and I just couldn’t pick one up. Let me be honest with you all though…Last month a lot was […]

My Bookish Room | A Tour

Posted July 13, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post / 7 Comments

Happy Monday my lovely book friends! Today I’m really excited by this post. I’ve wanted to show off my updated room/shelves for a while. Over lockdown I’ve been doing some room improvements I guess. To fit with working from home but also making my room more of a sanctuary to relax in. Last year I shared a bookshelf tour here. With my famous TBR carts, cube bookshelf and wall shelf. Since then I’ve made some changes. I wanted a change, I felt inspired to make a small room as bookish as possible. Oh and it’s very very bright too which makes […]

June Monthly Wrap-Up

Posted July 2, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 6 Comments

Hey everyone, once again the classic phrase – I can’t believe it’s July already! Which means it’s another monthly wrap-up post. I think this month I’m super excited by the start of the month, I feel it’s like a do-over of June as it was a pretty terrible month both reading and also not as active on here as I hoped. All these plans at the beginning of last month literally went out the window. I couldn’t read until the very last few days of the month. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been in a reading slump […]

It’s Friday – What are you reading?

Posted June 26, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Contemporary, Music, Summer Reading / 2 Comments

Hello my lovely bookworms. The last couple of days has been scorching in the UK and I like many others hate it. It’s certainly not a nice heat, sticky and no sleep comes to mind. I’ve also been in a reading slump since the beginning of the June. But yesterday because I couldn’t sleep I opened a book, and I read. I loved it! So who knew a heatwave could cure a reading slump. Today would usually be a Let’s Talk Books post and in a way it still is. But I thought I would let you know what I’m […]

Hello my bookish friends. I didn’t post on Monday as I was pretty knackered from building my bookcase on Sunday. So today I’m bring you another one of my famous top 5 lists as parted of my Booked-In series. This time I’m revisiting and reminiscing some old favourites, books I wish I could open that book for the first time again and be immersed into the world. These books opened a whole new world of literature for me. There is so many books out there it can be overwhelming. So I’m going back to where my reading really began for […]
