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 […]

The Titan Christmas Gift Guide

Posted December 6, 2019 by Emma in Book Gifts, Bookish Post, Discussion Post / 0 Comments

Hello my bookish friends. It’s Friday, and so nearly the weekend. Today and until the rest of the year, I thought I might do a series of posts rounding up what an incredible year publishers have had with their books and creating a Christmas Gift Guide. Each of these posts will have carefully selected books so there if something for everyone. There is something for everyone! Today I’m partnering up with Titan Books. I have only joined their mailing list this year and I’ve been so unbelievable grateful for the books they have sent me this year, they have been […]

DISCUSSION | Book Blogging vs Bookstagram

Posted November 25, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, Discussion Post, Featured / 7 Comments

Hello my bookish friends, I have one of my famous discussion posts where I tend to blur out the line between discussing and ranting. Since I wrote ‘The Pressures of Book Blogging’ post, (thank you to all those who commented about it) I seem pretty chill about my book blog and also enjoying everything I do with it. I also had a bit of a break in-between as well which really helped me. Although, last week I’ve been thinking about my blog and bookstagram specifically and how we are so focused on one (bookstagram) and not the other (blogging). For me my blog […]

EMMA CHATS… | A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer – #CurseReadAlong: Week 1

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
