Greeting all! I hope Christmas and the New Year have treated you well. So far 2016 for me has been my birthday, and then five days of being ill (today is day five...). So not the best start in the world. But, I am happy to start a new year and excited for what is… Continue reading Christmas and birthday haul: new year, new books!
Hello all just a quick note to say Merry Christmas! I've been a bit off grid as I was away in Copenhagen until Christmas Eve and this is the first moment I have had to myself since then! Not that I'm complaining, we have had a lovely Christmas. I recently finished After You'd Gone by… Continue reading Oh is it Christmas?
Hello all, my apologies for not posting for almost a month! I have been busy at work which = super tired, plus I have been reading quite slowly recently for some reason, so I haven't had many books to review. I did finish Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood the other week, and have a brilliant… Continue reading Kind of a random blog post that’s kind of related to Christmas
I have some very exciting news, and I'm going to get right to the point. I am launching a new blog that will be dedicated to the most important things in life outside of the world of books (I know, hard to believe there is life beyond books). I have a small team of fellow… Continue reading Calling all writers – I need YOU!
I am pleased to announce that I am now part of the Foyles Affiliate Programme. You may have heard of the Amazon Affiliate Programme, and this works in the same way. My posts will each include a link to buy the relevant book from Foyles. If a reader clicks through and purchases that book from… Continue reading Announcement: Foyles Affiliate Programme
Just a quick post today - my boyfriend and I moved house at the weekend, from a tiny, dark flat into a light and airy Victorian terraced house. It is MARVELLOUS and one of the best things about it is that I now have roughly twice the amount of space for books! In our old… Continue reading A new home for me and my books
Just a quick update to let you all know I am a bit behind on blogging as I have just returned from a week away in France. But luckily I finished three books and started a fourth while I was away, so there will be plenty of blog posts coming up! The books I finished… Continue reading Quick update
It is the August bank holiday - and I think summer is over. I shed a tear, but I'm also pleased to be able to wear all my nice jumpers. Plus we're going on holiday to France next weekend, so I can't really complain. It's been a pretty good summer, with both my boyfriend and… Continue reading Summer roundup!
The brilliant Kirsty invited me to a meet-up of book bloggers (most people were 'book tubers', I was like the only person without a YouTube channel) in London on 25th July. I've met other bloggers before, but this was en masse, so I was nervous but excited. We met at King's Cross, by Watermark Books… Continue reading Book blogger/book tuber meet-up!
I used to listen to audiobooks as a child, but they haven't really been part of my 'library' as an adult. We listened to A Song of Ice and Fire and Lord of the Rings on road trips, but that was about it. My new job requires me to take a 30-minute bus to and… Continue reading Adventures with Audiobooks: The Smart One by Jennifer Close
