10 Books I Will Read by the End of 2020
The end of 2020 is a scary phrase, a combination of the mind-boggling fact that it's already mid-October and I can in fact think about the end of the year and the tiny niggling part of my mind that is a tad concerned that 2020 just won't end. I've read a lot of amazing books… Continue reading 10 Books I Will Read by the End of 2020
September Book Haul
I'm still doing my best to not buy too many books each month. My TBR isn't exactly going down and there are so many books on my shelves that I'm really excited to read so I definitely don't need to buy more. I actually only bought 3 books myself this month – and only 1… Continue reading September Book Haul
What I Read in September
September was a busy month for me. Well, busier than the last few months anyway. I moved back to university and that involved a lot of packing and, crucially, a lot of decisions about which books I wanted to bring with me and which I could leave at home. I've ended up bringing 35 books… Continue reading What I Read in September
I Read 7 Books in 7 Days | A Reading Challenge
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.
