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 […]

Evening my lovely readers. Another post the day after my review. Who am I? Well I very rarely do TTT, and I saw this week’s prompt and I couldn’t resist. Top Ten Tuesday Is A Weekly Meme Hosted By The Lovely Ladies At The Artsy Reader Girl! Each Week, A New Topic Is Put Into Place And Bloggers Share Their Top Ten Accordingly. I’ll be honest lately I’m not a huge TBR list person, I’m very much mood reading but I just love putting together a summer TBR. A lot of them will be summer themed as if I’m going on […]

Happy Friday my lovely bookworms. It’s the end of the week and the first week of June already. Today’s is another Let’s Talk Books, a feature I cohost with Emily A Short Book Lover. A weekly series where we are highlighting particular books (Teen/YA/ Adult etc) coming out during this time, that we will review, or get bookish content from authors and so much more. Today’s post for me is all about books that I’m looking forward to their release and to reading. I decided to pick a few books that I think might not be on your radar that […]

May Monthly Wrap-Up

Posted June 3, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 0 Comments

Happy Wednesday my lovely readers. Once again another month has gone by. You would think in lockdown it would go slowly but if I’m honest it’s gone really fast. I think it’s getting into a routine that really helps, the world has suddenly become a weird sort of normal, wouldn’t you agree. But I have to say I am very excited at the prospect of my local Costa or Pret opening for takeaway this week, I have to say. I know, lockdown priorities. Once again, this month I hosted a readathon with Steph for Bookslovereaders and read 3 books during […]

Top 5 Books about Books

Posted May 25, 2020 by Emma in Book List, Booked-In, Bookish Post, UKYA, YA / 12 Comments

Hello my lovely readers. In the UK it’s Bank Holiday Monday and half-term so I hope your all enjoying it and the weather. It’s meant to be lovely and sunny. I hope. I will be spending it by finishing The Paper and Hearts Society: Read with Pride. Which falls nicely into today’s post. This is another Booked-In series book list. Being a librarian and a lover of books, of course, I also love reading about them. So I thought I’d put together a list of books that are abut books. I’ve spilt it into my my Top 5 I’ve read […]
