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

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
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
June Reading Wrap Up
June was a really great reading month for me. I managed to read 16 books in total, though some were definitely short reads. More importantly, I managed to find two new favourite books, and the majority of the books I read this month were 4 and 5 star reads. I have been really interested in… Continue reading June Reading Wrap Up
May Reading Wrap Up
Reading in May was a bit of struggle for me. I was completing an internship from home over the month and I have to admit that I am not used to working 9-5! I've never had a job where I've had to focus solely on one thing for 8 hours at a time; usually I… Continue reading May Reading Wrap Up
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
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
Books I Want To Get To In 2020
2019 was the year that I really renewed my passion for reading. I’ve mentioned it before, but I really lost my passion for reading over the last few years, due mostly to the compulsory reading I was forced to do for GCSEs and A Levels. Although I really did enjoy A Level English Literature, it… Continue reading Books I Want To Get To In 2020
