BOOK REVIEW | A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

Posted November 28, 2019 by Emma in 2019 Books, Book Review, Fantasy, Favourite Author, Featured, YA / 1 Comment

You might have seen from my post last week that I was taking part in the Global #Cursebreakers Readalong . It is my first time reading it if you can believe that. Why I didn’t get on this fandom this year was the hype and I’ve really been trying to be mood reader too. Now was the time, the perfect season and cosy nights to just to escape into Emberfall. Right now, as I’m writing this, I’ve just finished it and I’m a little hangover from it. In once sense I want to continue to A Heart So Fierce and […]

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 […]

*CAUTION this post may contain fangirling. Hello my bookish friends. Happy Wednesday. You are half-way through the week, yay. I’m going on holiday on Saturday so I can’t wait to get to the end of the week. Thank you so much to everyone who commented on my earlier post on Book Blogging pressures. It’s really nice to see I’m not the only one. Today’s post, ‘Emma chats…’ is the start of something new for my blog, to bring back my enjoyment of blogging and love it once again. This idea came to me only yesterday, I wanted something I could […]

DISCUSSION | The Pressures of Book Blogging

Posted October 14, 2019 by Emma in Blog, Featured / 19 Comments

…or blogging in general. Hello my bookish friends. Happy Monday. So the idea for this post came from Sofii from A Book a Thought. I tweeted about her blog, how autumnal, bookish and inspirational her posts are. I would love to grow my blog like hers and she said ‘The most important thing is to enjoy blogging, right?’ It was a bit of an eye-opener that, I feel I’ve lost some of the love I used to have for it at the beginning of my blogging. I’ve had my struggles sometimes, with some occasional negative thoughts about blogging that has […]

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 […]

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 […]

A Bookworm’s Guide to going on Holiday

Posted August 19, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, Featured / 3 Comments

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 […]

Review – What Magic is This? by Holly Bourne – A spellbinding novella!

Posted July 25, 2019 by Emma in 2019 Books, Best Books, Book Review, Favourite Author, Featured, Friendship, Holly Bourne, Magic / 2 Comments

Once again, Holly has done it again! As soon a s I started reading it I had a huge smile on my face, it’s that familiarity of her writing style that just makes you feel very excited and warm inside because you know everything is right in the world with Holly Bourne writing her books. What Magic is This? is no exception to that. She never fails to amaze me on writing a story half the size of all of her other books and yet it still packs a punch. Three friends all believe that after one night they have magical […]

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. Today I’m back with a TTT – I haven’t done one of these in ages and it’s the perfect opportunity to show my favourite books of my favourite genre.

Sweet or Savoury etc. I love so many books across all genres, but since blogging […]
