Hello my bookish friends. How are you? Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was really busy in the end so didn’t do as much self-care or reading than I usually do. I’ve started reading The Flat Share and I’m really enjoying it. But today I’m really excited by this post, after the success of my first Self-Care for Bookworms post, I thought I would continue it with more tips from one bookworm to another. My first Self-care tip was Taking a break, today’s tip is all about… Self-Care Tip #2 Go out and take your book with you – […]

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends. Today I’m really excited to be part of the blog tour for Harley in the Sky. It’s one of my most anticipated reads this year. I discovered Akemi last year and she’s on my auto-buy/read list ever since. The only book I haven’t read is Starfish which I think will do sooner rather than later. My post is a review but before that here is a little bit more about the book. (Just on a side note, I haven’t totally finished the book yet due to work craziness last week with Ofsted so my reading […]

Happy Friday, my bookish friends. It’s been a while since I reviewed a book hasn’t it?! I’m sorry, I finally finished my first book for February and it was amazing, despite it taking me over 2 weeks to read it, (I blame work for that.)
