Hello my lovely readers, I am back again with another Top 5 post. I really do love these.

Today is all about our favourite romantic pairing, soulmates, the true pairings. This is really hard as I haven’t read a […]

It’s Friday – What are you reading?

Posted November 20, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Bookish Post / 1 Comment

Happy Friday my lovely bookworms. So I’m excited because I’m finally reading and enjoying a book that I will finally finish this weekend. It’s an accomplishment to actually finish a book which I haven’t done in ages!! So I’m taking this moment to record the fact that I’m reading and tell you all about the book that has cured my reading funk. Also a nice quick post so I can get back to reading and sadly working at this time, but I’m a librarian I can sneak in the odd page or two! 😅 I missed this, my blog, so […]

Happy Wednesday my bookish friends. Yesterday I finished my most anticipated read in like forever!! I’ve been waiting a long time for this book so my excitement for Midnight Sun was off the charts. So here is my spoiler free review and my extreme fangirling over the fifth book in the Twilight Saga.

It was the highlight of my teenage years, and when I heard this book was finally coming out, I don’t think I’ve felt such genuine […]

Book Review | The Beautiful by Renée Ahdieh

Posted July 30, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review / 4 Comments

Happy Thursday my lovely readers. Today I’m bringing you a review of dark fantasy that I simply loved.

Plus the sequel The Damned has just been released which I will need to read ASAP. So enough of my rambling, let head onto the review. My Review The days of vampire books has returned and it’s like the inner teenager in me who loved Twilight and the beginnings […]

Hello my lovely readers, so it’s July, over half way throughout the year. It certainly hasn’t been a great start to 2020 with the current situation but that hasn’t stopped me from reading.

So let’s forget the world right now and focus on my favourite books of the year so far especially during Booked-In. Top 5 […]

Happy Monday my lovely readers! I’m back, I kind of had a bit of a blogging break the last week as I just needed the time for me.
