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. […]

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.
