NEW | Self-Care for Bookworms

Posted January 20, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Self-Care for Bookworms / 3 Comments

Morning my fellow bookworms. Today I bring to you a a potentially new feature for the blog. I was thinking about this post at Christmas time when I was taking a break from everything. Our mental health is key. We need to look after ourselves especially us as bookworms. We have day-to-day jobs, and reading is our relaxation but sometimes we need to be relaxed first to enjoy our books. So this post is tips from one bookworm to another that we need our own self-care routine. Welcome to Self-Care for Bookworms! Tip #1 – Take a Break A week […]

Revamped Feature | Let’s Talk YA #1

Posted January 17, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Let's Talk Books / 1 Comment

Hello my Bookish Friends. It’s Friday! Yay! What better way to kick off than with a old feature but revamped for 2020. Let’s Talk YA started with my co-host Emily from A Short Book Lover. It’s all about talking books rather than just liking and Retweeting posts. So today I’m kicking it off again and this time it will be about any book we’ve ever loved. It could be an old favourite. A forgotten book and not just UKYA. We are mixing it up. So this will be a weekly feature unless I have something else planned. So welcome to […]

DISCUSSION | How to track your Reading

Posted January 13, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 8 Comments

Morning my lovely readers. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I think we all needed after our first week back to work. Last year on Twitter, I hosted loads of polls about reading and blogging and one them is about how people track their reading. I was really intrigued to be honest, there isn’t just Goodreads which is what I ultimately use to be honest there is so much more. So today I thought I would draw together all the ideas in this post and also talk about how I’m going to track my reading for 2020. Tracking your Reading […]

Posted January 8, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Feature, Seasonal Reads / 2 Comments

Hello my bookish friends, I’m SO EXCITED to introduce to you my first new feature of 2020 hitting my blog. At the beginning of each year we all do our anticipated reads of 2020.

Welcome to Seasonal Reads – Winter. My top releases for January – March! A […]

Posted January 1, 2020 by Emma in 2019 Books, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Wrap-Up / 1 Comment

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Today is officially the 1st day of 2020, and 2019 is now last year even though it was only yesterday. Crazy. Whilst I thought I would go right ahead and do my anticipated reads and reading goals, I thought I would wrap-up last year officially with my last wrap up post of 2019. December was a brilliant month, full of festivities at work and at home and then finally spend Christmas with my family. The beginning of the month was very chaotic, as you can probably imagine in all working environments. In a school it’s almost […]

Posted December 30, 2019 by Emma in 5 Stars, Bookish Post, UKYA, Wrap-Up, YA / 2 Comments

Hello Everyone, I’m back from my Christmas break yesterday and I had such an an amazing time with my family. It was also more like a Christmas Reading Retreat too. I read 3 books in 5 days which is a first in a very long time. 2 of which are Harry Potter books and another a hotly anticipated 2020 release. It was so nice being totally away from my social media and blog for 5 straight days that I feel amazing in myself and ready to plan 2020 with lots more books and lots more blog posts – I think […]

Hi Everyone, how are we? Are we all on our Christmas holidays yet? I hope you are, you all deserve it! I am and loving it! I broke up onThursday and won’t return to school until the 6th Jan, I think this could potentially be the longest Christmas holiday’s we’ve had. I started it with pretty much cosy days in front of the TV and letting my brain relax. You need that right!? 🎄 One thing I love about Christmas break is family and books. Why you might ask? Well a) I spend a whole week stay with my grandparents. […]

Posted December 9, 2019 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Event Recap, Simon & Schuster / 2 Comments

Happy Monday Everyone! Hope you had a very festive weekend, not long till Christmas now! I had an amazing weekend and this was partly down to where I went on Saturday, the Simon & Schuster Big Book Brunch where we saw previews of 2020 titles, whilst meeting loads of amazing bloggers. I’ve been to one in February and loved it. Many book events as they are largely in the evenings and I’m just so tired from work that I never make it. But events on a weekend I can, and I try and make every effort to go. What I […]
