I thought I would have a look at all the books I've read this year so far and rank my top five. I'm intrigued to see how my favourites list changes over the course of the year, and whether anyone of these will be knocked off by future reads. And it might also give you… Continue reading My Top Five Reads of 2020 (so far)

#junerereadathon | TBR
If you didn't see my #junerereadathon announcement post, I'm doing a monthlong readathon in June where I reread some of my favourite books! It wasn't too difficult to think of my tbr for the readathon, as I obviously know what my favourite books are, but I did have to decide whether to include books I've… Continue reading #junerereadathon | TBR
A Collection of the Weird Things I’ve Done Since Joining Bookstagram
When I joined bookstagram in July 2019, I only knew I wanted to read more books. I didn't know that I'd end up falling in love with the bookstagram community, start a blog, love taking photographs and changing up my style, become obsessed with charity shops or end up with over 100 physical books on… Continue reading A Collection of the Weird Things I’ve Done Since Joining Bookstagram
Asian Readathon TBR
This year I really wanted to take part in the Asian Readathon.

You can find out more information about the readathon in her… Continue reading Asian Readathon TBR
#junerereadathon | A Readathon Announcement
I love rereading books. I had such an obsession with rereading my favourite books when I was younger than I barely ever bought any new books, and instead read the same three series on repeat. I loved them so much that I didn't want to spend time reading any other books when I could be… Continue reading #junerereadathon | A Readathon Announcement
April Reading Wrap Up
I read 14 books this month, which is the most I've read in a month this year I think. It's also the month where I've had the most free time, so that's not really surprising! In particular it's been a great month for audiobooks, as I had a 30-day free trial for Scribd, and bought… Continue reading April Reading Wrap Up
April Bookish Goals
I don't always set monthly goals, but I've decided to really use this month to get back into blogging and bookstagram. I have still been fairly active on bookstagram, but I have seriously been neglecting my blog. I haven't been feeling very motivated or inspired to write or post anything, and I've been struggling with… Continue reading April Bookish Goals
March Reading Wrap Up
I had a great start to March, reading-wise, and then it kinda tailed off amidst assignments, presentations and moving back home from university. But, I still managed to read 9 books this month (5 physical reads and 4 audiobooks) and discovered a new favourite book! I’ve written a brief review under each of my reads… Continue reading March Reading Wrap Up
The Ethics of Charity Book Shopping
Six months ago, I'd never even been in a charity shop, and now I can't walk past one without going in and searching through the books. The presence of charity shopping has increased on social media recently – at least for me – as the focus on ethical consumerism and fast fashion developed. However, it… Continue reading The Ethics of Charity Book Shopping
5 Ways to Read More Books
Most book lovers want to read more books. It's not all about the numbers, but when there are hundreds of books floating around social media – from the ones that have been published for years and are earnestly loved by many book bloggers to the ones just about to be published – it's difficult to… Continue reading 5 Ways to Read More Books
