Happy Friday my lovelies! Today myself and Emily from A Short Book Lover, are back with Let’s Talk Books. Together we’ve created list of all of the books coming out and going in release order.

Discussion | How I Organise my Reading Journal

Posted May 4, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 5 Comments

Hello my lovely readers. Today I thought I would do a discussion post on my Reading Journal, which I mentioned in my How to track your reading post back in January. I wanted to show you my progress with my reading journal and the array of pages I’ve created. Last year, if you remember I started a bookish bullet journal. It was more of novelty in the first couple of months and it took quite a lot of time. I really wanted to try again and I saw Vicky’s from What Vicky Read post on her Reading Journal and she inspired […]

Happy Friday my bookish friends. As I write this the brief sun of the day on Thursday is fading and it’s suddenly getting gloomy. But my blog hates gloomy – it loves colour so let’s forget about the rain for a minute. I missed my wrap-up post last month, I guess I got swamped with life in lockdown. But since then I’ve had a new blog series and my blog hasn’t seen so many visitors and views before and I’m really happy. I’ve also read over double the amount of books I usually read, and I’m stoked about that. Whilst […]

Hello my lovely bookish friends. Every week I’ve been doing some reading lists as part of my Booked-In blog series which is over the next coming month or so.

Hello my bookish friends, happy Monday, hope you had a good weekend and you and your families are well.

My first top tip in my Booked-In post was – PRE-ORDERING/ORDERING FROM WATERSTONES OR INDEPENDENT BOOK STORES TO DELIVER TO HOME. So this post is PART 1 as there is […]
