End of Year Survey 2017

The Annual End of Year Survey was created over at The Perpetual Page-Turner. It is officially the last day of the year, and so it seemed like the only way to end 2017 right would be to look back at my entire reading and blogging year.  I've done this survey for a couple of years …

Beat the Backlist 2018

Normally, I am someone who never really takes part in reading challenges like this one, with the Goodreads challenge being the only reading goal I set for myself.  I always look at and contemplate taking part in so many different challenges, but never actually get round to signing up for them, or writing a blog …

Favourite Series I Started This Year

We are fast approaching the end of the year, and so it seems like the perfect time to discuss some of the amazing books I read this year.  I have already talked about some of my favourite books that I read in 2017 in a recent Top Ten Tuesday post, so today I wanted to …

Turtle’s All The Way Down Review (i.e. This is How You Represent Mental Health Well)

I can't tell you how excited I was when this book was announced.  At last, John Green was coming out with another book, and like so many other people I could not wait to get my hands on it and read it for myself.  That said, I was also incredibly nervous about this book.  Not …

November Book Haul

Despite not reading a ton in both October and November, I certainly didn't slow down on buying books in that time.  Not only were there a fair few sequels and new releases that I was desperate to get my hands on, but it was also my birthday back at the start of November, and so …

Top Ten Tuesday Nine – Top Ten Bookish Settings I’d Love to Visit

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature/ meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish. When I first saw the topic for this week, I was super excited to give this really unique topic a go.  It was really interesting to try and really think about which bookish settings I would love to visit, and I …

November Wrap Up

It's officially December! Somehow we have already made it to the very last month of the year, with November, and another month of reading, now over.  This month was definitely an improvement on October, not only in the number of books I managed to read, but also simply in how much I enjoyed reading this …
