Happy Sunday evening my lovely readers. It’s been another hot minute these days since back to work from Easter Holidays. But there is only another week left and it’s May half term and a very lovely long weekend for most of you in the UK. Woohoo.

So today I’m bring you a spotlight post of a book I was so so excited to read, The Knave of Secrets […]

Happy Friday my fellow bookworms. This post was semi written around the time of World Book Day. They celebrated 25 years this year and as a librarian I celebrated in style – dressed as my favourite character which was Bella from Twilight. Anyways the theme was ‘You are a Reader’ and it got my thinking about my reading journey and the books that have shaped me. I’ve decided to go in chronological order from when I was toddler, too now in 5 blog posts. I really hope you enjoy this post, I even used the original covers that I had […]

Hello my lovely bookworms, these days I seem to be writing loads of posts and then they stay in my drafts.

My 2022 Bookish Intentions

Posted January 17, 2022 by Emma in 2022 Books, Bookish Post, Wrap-Up / 2 Comments

Happy Monday my lovely readers. The best thing about the start of a new year is setting yourself new goals, new bookish intentions. Every year I make them and every year I generally fail, last year epically apart from actually passing my Goodreads goal which I lowered. So yay for that, I’m quite pleased about that. But this year feels like a special year when everything comes together, with a new house, new business comes new responsibilities and this year is all about fitting them in this new chapter of my life. This time last year I did these intentions […]

First of all I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! It’s 2022 and I honestly don’t know where 2021 has been. I’m writing this post 3 months after my last one. Let’s just say for me 2021 I have been notoriously absent from the book world. It’s been probably been the worst book blogging and books read year but believe me there has been plenty going on that has kept me occupied. I thought I would give you a bit of a life update I guess.
