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 […]

April Monthly Wrap-up – I read more books edition!

Posted May 1, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up, YA / 0 Comments

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 readers, it’s a new week and soon to be a new month. This is part 2 of a similar post I did last month, Booked-In | My Top Releases this Spring – Part 1 . So today I thought I would bring all the YA and Fantasy Releases that I’m looking forward in end of April/May. I have to say that books have been a lifesaver during this lockdown, so I can’t wait to discover and promote loads more books. Authors need the support now more than ever so don’t forget to order online with Amazon, Book […]

Top 5 Binge-Reading series

Posted April 10, 2020 by Emma in Booked-In, Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 2 Comments

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. It’s about sharing love of books, supporting authors, self-care tips and more. We need comfort reads, but what about those series that you can just binge read all the time. A world you never want to escape so you just keep on reading and reading. I tried to pick some different series and ones that mean something in my reading journey. Today I’m sharing… My Top 5 Binge Reading Series The […]

Posted March 30, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Booked-In, Bookish Post, LGBTQ+, Seasonal Reads, UKYA, YA / 2 Comments

Hello my bookish friends, happy Monday, hope you had a good weekend and you and your families are well. Back in January I started a new Seasonal Reads post where I spilt up all the most anticipated reads of the year in seasons. It’s Spring but also we are living in an upside down world where authors have books coming out and they struggling as they have no launch events. 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 […]

NEW BLOG SERIES – BOOKED-IN! | Everything you need bookishly while staying at home

Posted March 24, 2020 by Emma in Booked-In, Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 3 Comments

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well and staying safe. This blog will be a fountain of positivity and brightness. In light of the current situation I’ve created a new blog series called – BOOKED-IN! This series will feature authors and books which are being released during this time. I feel it’s important to support our authors as much as possible when their new book may suffer the consequences of the virus. Which is sad and we don’t want that. So over the next couple of months I will feature interviews, guest posts, reviews, of all the books coming out. […]

Happy Friday my bookish friends! This week has been a really really long one so I’m ready for the end of today and the weekend as well. But with the weekend comes the end of February and the end of Fantasy Feb too. Today is the last feature post before my wrap up of the month and it’s with two of my favourite authors. I’ve met them and they are just so lovely and their books are amazing too. Today’s post is another one from my new author series called ‘In the Mind of an Author’ where I feature authors […]
