Posted November 21, 2019 by Emma in 2019 Books, Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Emma Chats, Fairytale, Feature, YA / 3 Comments

Emma Chats… returns. I thought over the few weeks I’d talk about what I’m taking part in. One of 2019s fandoms has been A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer. I have to say it’s one book I wanted to read since I received it back in February, but with hype and mood, it never happened until now. YOU DIDN’T TELL ME HOW AMAZING THIS BOOK IS!!!??? (or did I not listen!?) So I’m taking part in the GLOBAL read along that Bloomsbury YA are hosting, each week we are reading 20 chapters (or so!?) I’m actually sticking to the readalong […]

*CAUTION this post may contain fangirling. Hello my bookish friends. Happy Wednesday. You are half-way through the week, yay. I’m going on holiday on Saturday so I can’t wait to get to the end of the week. Thank you so much to everyone who commented on my earlier post on Book Blogging pressures. It’s really nice to see I’m not the only one. Today’s post, ‘Emma chats…’ is the start of something new for my blog, to bring back my enjoyment of blogging and love it once again. This idea came to me only yesterday, I wanted something I could […]

DISCUSSION | Organising my future bookshelves

Posted October 7, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Featured, TBR / 5 Comments

Hello my book friends, it’s been a while since my last discussion post. A good month ago I did a Bookshelf Tour post and I enjoyed talking about bookworms accommodating to space restrictions and lots of books. If you missed it then check it out here. So Ella commented on my post, and asked about a how I would organise my bookshelf if I had bookcases, so I thought I would dedicate a post to it. This is a Bookworm edition, later this week I will do a post as part of my new feature ‘ A Day in the […]

Posted October 4, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Let's Talk Books, UKYA / 2 Comments

Emily from A Short Book Lover and I have created a weekly feature called Let’s Talk YA. – a feature simply to just share and talk about the books you love. So our posts will all be centered around amazing UKYA authors. It’s been a while since I did a Let’s Talk YA and I feel I left Emily a bit to pick it up on her blog. I’m so sorry. But I’m back and I’m going to make sure I keep up with it a bit more. I have so many amazing UKYA authors to talk about and these […]

DISCUSSION | Are you a Mood Reader or TBR lister?

Posted September 16, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Featured, TBR / 11 Comments

Hello my bookish friends, I’m back with a little discussion post. I was thinking about this recently, I do TBRs and then I don’t stick to them. I get annoyed and then I don’t enjoy reading them. It’s only really yesterday when I was talking to Steph from Booklovereaders that I feel I need to change how I read. I need a balance not only in life but also in my book choosing. Are you a TBR Lister? A TBR is a ‘To be Read’ list or pile. Sometimes these can help readers and bloggers as we have so many […]

Hello Book Friends, Today I’m back at work, after 6 wonderful weeks off I’m going to really miss the free time. But I love my job and that’s the main thing. I have quite a few inset days coming up this week so my brain will probably fried. 😂 Last month’s reading was some of my best in a while, with hot days and holidays it’s really helped. I think September won’t be as a good but we’ll see how I go. This week I’m also going to launch my new Librarian feature which I’m really excited to share. And […]

A Bookshelf Tour

Posted August 26, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 6 Comments

Hello Book Friends. If your UK bound hope your enjoying you extra day off and enjoying the sunshine. Today I thought I would do something a little different and show you my bookshelves*. Now as a book blogger or reader it’s not mystery that we are totally overwhelmed with books. We know that eventually the rate in which we receive books with categorically outweigh the space we have available. This is very much my story. So this is my little corner of my room with books. I think I should call my bookshelves my TBR bookshelves. Most of these books […]

A Bookworm’s Guide to going on Holiday

Posted August 19, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, Featured / 3 Comments

A couple of weeks I went on holiday to Wales, UK. I had such an amazing time. The weather was most certainly an interesting combination of rain, wind and sun. But that is quite the norm I understand in that part of the UK. But to be honest when you book a holiday you just go with the weather, it’s place away from home, a place to relax to reconnect with life. After returning on holiday I found myself being quite the bookworm on holiday even when I didn’t have my bookshelves. I admit I read more than I have […]
