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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
Hello Book Friends. It’s been 2 months since my last wrap-up post. Work has been manic, but August is finally here, how has everyone faired with the heat last week, unbearable wasn’t it. I was reading to pretty early each morning because of it. I’m on my summer holidays and I’m on holiday tomorrow. Yay! So I’m now trying to figure out what books I want to take away with me. That always takes more time than the actual packing. I feel my absence has got noticed because of work, so I’m trying to catch up on reviews and posts […]
Hello my Book Friends – today I bring to you an inspired post from Holly Bourne’s latest book, What Magic is This? that I reviewed last week. I loved it and if you know me you will know that Holly is one of my all time favourite authors. I felt inspired by this novella so I created a spell, with a little help from Barrington Stoke and Holly Bourne. This spell and this novella is something for you whether you believe in magic or not, whether you loved magical friendships like Harry Potter (- which I’m sure you all do.) […]
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 […]
