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.

Hello my bookish friends, we are half way throughout the week! Yay, we are nearly at the weekend but that also means we are near the end of February already. I really hate how time flies.

Hello my bookish friends, I’m on half term! Yay! I’m so looking forward to catching up on my reading – especially a book that I’ve been reading for 2 weeks. I know, it’s crazy how work has been that I’ve just been too tired too read. So I want to read a few books off my TBR that I’ve received over the last couple of weeks. It’s just nice having a break and not worrying about work. Reading and Relaxing is what I need right now and I can’t wait! So today I thought I would showcase some of the […]

Harry Potter Book Night | My Harry Potter Journey

Posted February 6, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Harry Potter / 1 Comment

Hello my Wizarding friends. So today is Harry Potter Book Night! I did my event at work yesterday – here’s me in my full Ravenclaw gear! It’s was an exhausting event to host but I honestly love sharing the magic of Harry Potter with my students! As it’s Harry Potter themed I thought I’d would talk about Harry Potter and had grown as an adult. Happee Birthdae Emma! I got the first book on my 7th birthday from my aunt! So that’s 18 years ago! I read it and guess how long it to me! A year! 😂 I was […]

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 […]
