Hello my lovely bookworms. Happy Monday and hope you had a lovely weekend. Today I’m bringing you a book review *shock horror*. I know – I mean it’s been a while once again. But I’ve read a lot of books this summer so far which I’m loving and I need to catch up on review desperately. Today’s review is my most recent finished book, Something Certain, Maybe by Sara Barnard. With under half way to go on the book, I picked it up before bed and I finished it at 2 am. So here is a little more about the […]

Hello my lovely readers, today I’m really excited to be part of the blog tour for Love on the Main Stage by S.A. Domingo. As I mentioned in my previous post, I read her debut book Love, Secret Santa and simply adored it. Guess What!? I loved this one too. As part of the blog tour I’m sharing my review and my festival playlist. It’s a bit of a mix, but I sort listed to a lot of this whilst reading the book. THIS BOOK GOT ME OUT OF MY READING SLUMP! I was excited that after a month of […]

It’s Friday – What are you reading?

Posted June 26, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post, Contemporary, Music, Summer Reading / 2 Comments

Hello my lovely bookworms. The last couple of days has been scorching in the UK and I like many others hate it. It’s certainly not a nice heat, sticky and no sleep comes to mind. I’ve also been in a reading slump since the beginning of the June. But yesterday because I couldn’t sleep I opened a book, and I read. I loved it! So who knew a heatwave could cure a reading slump. Today would usually be a Let’s Talk Books post and in a way it still is. But I thought I would let you know what I’m […]

MONTHLY WRAP-UP: JULY & AUGUST TBR

Posted August 2, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, Monthly Wrap-Up Post, Summer Reading, TBR, Wrap-Up, YA / 5 Comments

Hello Book Friends. It’s been 2 months since my last wrap-up post. Work has been manic, but August is finally here, how has everyone faired with the heat last week, unbearable wasn’t it. I was reading to pretty early each morning because of it. I’m on my summer holidays and I’m on holiday tomorrow. Yay! So I’m now trying to figure out what books I want to take away with me. That always takes more time than the actual packing. I feel my absence has got noticed because of work, so I’m trying to catch up on reviews and posts […]

Diving into my Summer Reading – Ten books I’m looking forward to reading!

Posted July 29, 2019 by Emma in 2019 Books, Summer Reading, TBR, UKYA / 2 Comments

Hello Friends, Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I couldn’t be at YALC this weekend which is really sad by hope you all had a book-tastic time! I’m going to clear the calendar out next year so I’m free. The benefits of working in a school is the holidays, I’m now on my summer holidays for 6 weeks. Which is very much needed. I feel as a librarian I don’t read enough – I know shock horror. This week with the readathon – The Reading Rush I’ve read 3 books. That 2 more than normal as I’m so tired […]

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. Ah I love this theme this week. As a librarian I’m always excited by my summer reading … why because I get 6 weeks off. The benefits of working in a school.

LGBTQ+ Bucket Book List

Posted June 20, 2019 by Emma in Discussion Post, LGBTQ+, Summer Reading, YA / 1 Comment

So this is a first for me to write a post on LGBTQ+ books. It’s come to my attention I haven’t read enough of them! Why you might ask? I guess as a reader I’ve been stuck in my ways a bit with what genre books I read. Before I was blogger I used to read cute contemporary romances this was like 12 years ago. Then as a blogger I’ve developed my love for fantasy and I can’t stop reading them. Then there is me not only a reader but a librarian too. My pupil librarians love anything I read […]

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 […]
