Posted October 26, 2020 by Emma in Bookish Post, Random Post, TBR, YA / 1 Comment

Hello my wonderful readers, how are you? Well you might have been wondering… or you might not have been but I feel the need to kind of explain as I said a good month ago I was back to blogging and well I sort of vanished again. Before that I wanted to say hello and thank you to the 800+ followers that my blog has! Another milestones and I’m so pleased that it’s still being viewed and read in my absence. So THANK YOU! Life Update Life for me is just one thing, work and sleep these days, with a […]

This is always my favourite post of the year, anticipation all the brand new books and what’s to come of my blog. But since writing this post there has been one massive change – I’VE MOVED TO WORDPRESS. It hasn’t been the easiest of migration, but I am nearly there I think.

I love this […]

SEPTEMBER WRAP-UP & OCTOBER TBR

Posted October 3, 2018 by Emma in Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Random Post, TBR / 2 Comments

Hi Everyone, How has your September been? Mine has been manic and the fact that it’s already October has passed me by completely. Where does the time go? I mean we are counting down to Christmas already in shops…. Oh god that means I need to start thinking about presents. Who leaves it to the last minute? With the start of September came the start of term at work, it’s never been busier, additional roles to my job has been interesting but also exciting. That also comes with hardly no reading. I read a grand total of 1 book and […]

PERSONAL POST – MY SUMMER READING

Posted July 24, 2018 by Emma in Random Post, Summer Reading, TBR / 1 Comment

So working in a school means holidays and the big one the summer break – 6 whole weeks. Even though I am a librarian, reading should be second nature to me. But I honestly don’t have the time after work which is frustrating. I see all my students reading all the time and I actually feel quite jealous as I want to be like that again. So these 6 weeks can’t come quick enough. What I plan to do is read, relax and read some more. So this is my TBR pile that’s been growing since Easter break and I […]

✨🌙 #FantasticalFeb

Posted February 1, 2018 by Emma in #FantasticalFeb, Fantasy, Random Post, YA / 0 Comments

Hello Everyone, Today is the first day of February; where has January gone?! Anyways on my blog marks the first day of #Fantastical Feb, one my first themed month this year. A month of reading an YA or Teen Fantasy book or with fantastical elements! I thought I would do a month of fantasy books, I feel that this time of the year is the perfect time to cosy up in snuggle socks, hot cup of tea or coffee and escaping in a totally different world! This month I hope to review some ARCs that I haven’t gotten around too […]

🎆Happy Booky New Year🎆

Posted January 1, 2018 by Emma in 2018 Books, Best Books, Happy New Year, Most Anticipated, Random Post / 0 Comments

Best Books of 2017 & Books I’m most anticipating in 2018! HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! It’s been a long time I admit – the last post on here was November but to be honest I don’t feel I’ve been around much at all lately. Reading has been sparse, I’m lucky to have read one book in two weeks, which too me is really bad, or I would pick a book up and put it back down again. It doesn’t mean I haven’t stopped buying books though – that’s kind of backwards thinking really. But 2018 is a new year and you know […]

SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER: A Summer of Reading

Posted July 24, 2017 by Emma in Librarian, Personal, Random Post, School, Summer, Summer Reading / 2 Comments

Oh my gosh what a year! It’s gone by so quick and yet so long at the same time. Now I know why teachers and school staff need those six weeks off. Ha. So I survived my first year as a secondary school librarian, it was challenging, amazing, inspiring and I can’t believe I’ve done it. I feel like I’ve done so much, I’ve got the library how I want it to be and it took the whole year to do it and I’ve never been more prouder. Managing a library is one hell of a job, and we, librarians […]
