Book Review | Something Certain, Maybe by Sara Barnard

Book Review | Something Certain, Maybe by Sara Barnard

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 […]

Blog Tour | Book Review – Love on the Main Stage by S.A. Domingo

Blog Tour | Book Review – Love on the Main Stage by S.A. Domingo

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?

It’s Friday – What are you reading?

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

MONTHLY WRAP-UP: JULY & AUGUST TBR

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!

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 – Books On My Summer 2019 TBR

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.

It’s all the books I never get too and more. Also as a school librarian we have a long list to read too […]

LGBTQ+ Bucket Book List

LGBTQ+ Bucket Book List

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

PERSONAL POST – MY SUMMER READING

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 […]
