In the last week of August, I took part in (and somehow completed) a 7 day reading challenge with some of the editorial committee for my university's student newspaper. There were 7 prompts to complete and the aim was to read 7 books and fulfil all the prompts. I really thought I'd fail this–I originally… Continue reading I Read 7 Books in 7 Days | A Reading Challenge

August Book Haul
Two months ago, I started writing haul blog posts as a way to keep myself accountable for the number of books I buy–and acquire through various other means–over a month. I think it's working. I acquired 9 books this month. Much less than 21 (July) and 25 (June). And, of those 9, I've read 3… Continue reading August Book Haul
The 10 Best Audiobooks I’ve Listened to on Scribd
As much as it would be a literal dream come true, this post is in no way sponsored by or affiliated with Scribd–I just really love their app and enjoy shouting about it! And, I love reading and writing recommendations posts, and this combines the two! I love Scribd. I've been subscribed to them for… Continue reading The 10 Best Audiobooks I’ve Listened to on Scribd
September TBR
I don't usually make monthly TBRs for the simple reason that I never stick to them. If I have a fixed set of books I must read in a specific timeframe, it won't happen. All motivation to read said books evaporates as soon as it becomes something I have to do, rather than something I… Continue reading September TBR
What I Read in August
I'm struggling to reconcile with the idea that it is September already. August–like the last few months–has really flown by and I can't believe it's time for another wrap-up. I read a lot in August: a combination of free evenings, audiobooks, and the read 7 books in 7 days challenge I completed over the last… Continue reading What I Read in August
5 of My Favourite Etsy Stores for Bookish Items
Booksmarks, book prints, coasters, t-shirts, enamel pins – I love them all! And I've found the best place to shop for all things bookish is Etsy. You get to support independent creators and can find some absolutely amazing things in their shops. I love decorating my bookshelves (and my whole room) with book-related items, and… Continue reading 5 of My Favourite Etsy Stores for Bookish Items
Books I Bought in July
I've been trying to keep track of what books I buy each month as my TBR continues to grow at a faster rate than I can read. I was doing *quite well* in July until I noticed the 3 for £5 deal at The Works included some books I've had my eye on for a… Continue reading Books I Bought in July
July Reading Wrap Up
I don't know how it happened, but I read a lot this month. I wasn't really in a reading mood in the first couple of weeks of July and so I made up for it by reading a lot over the last two weeks. More importantly, I've loved the majority of the books I've read… Continue reading July Reading Wrap Up
Book Origin Stories
Where do your books come from? What are the stories behind them? I've been thinking a lot lately about the number of books I have, specifically the number of books I still need to read. I definitely have less books on my read shelves than my to be read shelves and though I fully intend… Continue reading Book Origin Stories
Bookshelf Tour
I know this sounds like something that would better suit a booktube video than a blog tour, but I don't think I'll be progressing to being on camera anytime soon...or ever. But, recently, I (and by 'I' I mean my parents) took down two existing shelves above my desk and replaced them with three slightly… Continue reading Bookshelf Tour
