Top Ten Tuesday Is A Weekly Meme Hosted By The Lovely Ladies At The Artsy Reader Girl! Each Week, A New Topic Is Put Into Place And Bloggers Share Their Top Ten Accordingly. Ah I love this theme this week. As a librarian I’m always excited by my summer reading … why because I get 6 weeks off. The benefits of working in a school. Although I admit I probably have more than 10 books on my TBR. It’s all the books I never get too and more. Also as a school librarian we have a long list to read too […]

Monthly Plans – May Wrap-Up and June TBR

Posted June 1, 2019 by Emma in Blog, Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, TBR, Wrap-Up / 2 Comments

Hello Book Friends, 1st of June and I’m on a roll with my wrap-up post this month. The last week I’ve been on half-term, I’ve been reading but not that much in the mood for blogging. As it’s now coming to an end I’m sceduling reviews left right and center, before I’m crazy busy at work for our last half -term of the school year. I have to say working in a school makes the year goes uber quick – if there are people reading this and your education are you like me that goes “Only 6 and half weeks […]

Posted May 22, 2019 by Emma in A Booklover Tells All, Blog, Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Feature, Featured / 5 Comments

Hello Booklovers. The last couple of months I’ve been thinking about doing a blog series of discussion posts, but wasn’t sure what to do. So let me introduce ‘A Booklover Tells all…’ a blog series with some personal book stories, memories or things I’ve come across in the bookish world. These posts maybe completely random topics, topics of meaning and any topics you want me to talk about. This combines my love of books as a reader, book blogger and as a librarian so it’s perfect. So I hope you enjoy today’s post. Do you remember this? Twilight for me […]

Hi Everyone! I’m finally getting round to doing my Wrap-up of April and we are well and truly into May now. It was this time last month when I was looking forward to my holiday and now it’s over.

Posted April 26, 2019 by Emma in Blog, Bookish Post, Contemporary, Feature, Friendship, Growing Up, Let's Talk Books, Love, Non Pratt, Reality, Teenage Life, UKYA, Walker Books, YA / 0 Comments

Emily from A Short Book Lover and I have created a weekly feature called Let’s Talk YA. – a weekly feature simply to just share and talk about the books you love. So our posts will all be centered around amazing UKYA authors. You can see the pattern here that a lot of the author and books I’m picking are the ones that really left an impression on me and are likely to be their first book, their debut that set them on that journey. This week’s author is Non Pratt and her book Trouble. I was reminded by this book […]

Emily from A Short Book Lover and I have created a weekly feature called Let’s Talk YA. – a weekly feature simply to just share and talk about the books you love. So our posts will all be centered around amazing UKYA authors. So continuing with our feature, this week’s author is Lisa Heathfield and the first book I absolutely loved emotionally was Paper Butterflies. I picked this book today because I’m currently reading something of the same genre, and it reminded me of when I first really discovered such emotional and harrowing stories. I read this book at the beginning […]

New Feature – Let’s Talk YA…

Posted April 12, 2019 by Emma in Blog, Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Holly Bourne, Let's Talk Books, UKYA / 15 Comments

So ages ago I posted a tweet about my current read which was Enchantée at the time and this particular post created such a conversation I loved it. Then I did a poll on Twitter on how we react to some of our posts on our blogs or twitter whether we just Like/RT or Comment and the majority was the first. Which I think is good but there’s something about a conversation about your book, talking about it shares so much within the bookish community. So Emily from A Short Book Lover and I were talking so we thought we might […]

Hi Everyone, It’s offically spring time today! – I’m writing this on the 31st, I’m very prompt with my post to start off April which is great! I just read over my previous wrap-up post and my blogging plans went right out of the window this month. It’s end of term craziness which I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with, so I’ve just been exhausted at the end of the day. March is on the busiest month’s for a librarian with World Book Day, although everyday is WBD for us. I did go to a book event at […]
