Top 5 Binge-Reading series

Posted April 10, 2020 by Emma in Booked-In, Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 2 Comments

Hello my lovely bookish friends. Every week I’ve been doing some reading lists as part of my Booked-In blog series which is over the next coming month or so. It’s about sharing love of books, supporting authors, self-care tips and more. We need comfort reads, but what about those series that you can just binge read all the time. A world you never want to escape so you just keep on reading and reading. I tried to pick some different series and ones that mean something in my reading journey. Today I’m sharing… My Top 5 Binge Reading Series The […]

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. […]

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 […]
