Continue reading →: Does anyone care about book blogging anymore? 😱📚
This post is inspired by Pages Unbound’s latest blog post Trends I Think We’ll See in Book Blogging in 2025. I was writing a comment under the post then realised I was beginning to write an essay so figured I should probably make it into it’s own post. The relevance…

Continue reading →: 2025 Reading Goals 📚🐍
2024 was a failure for me and my reading goals. I started the year off well but any hope of achieving them completely fell off the cliff in the second half of 2024. When writing this year’s goals I decided to have less goals in total, including two which are…

Continue reading →: Happy New Year! | January TBR 🎆🥂
Hope you’ve all had a fantastic holiday season. Mine has been very chilled out though didn’t exactly go according to plan. I ended up with symptoms of Tonsillitis on Christmas Eve but couldn’t get antibiotics until Boxing Day, so have had a week of bed rest and pain management. I…

Continue reading →: NetGalley Update | Nov 2024After taking a little break from reviewing over the summer (and most of Autumn, oops) I’ve started requesting books to review on NetGalley again! I tried logging back into my account but it seems to have vanished (can’t remember if I deleted it or if its been deactivated for inactivity).…

Continue reading →: Turns out I own 308 Kindle books 😵📑
I can’t remember the last time I went through my Kindle library and actually paid attention to the amount of eBooks I owned on the device. Usually I just see “99p Kindle deals” pop up on my Twitter feed and buy a few more because who doesn’t love a bargain?…

Continue reading →: Horror Book Recommendations Needed! 👻💀🎃
I’m looking for horror book recommendations to build my September/October TBRs. I’ve read a couple classics in the genre and am familiar with Stephen King’s novels. Main themes/vibes I’m looking for: Some of my favourite horror movies include the Scream franchise, Trick R Treat, IT Chapters 1&2. Mostly looking for…

Continue reading →: Every Book I’ve Read This Year… So Far | Jan-Mar 2024
This post started out as a January Wrap Up that I never finished! 😬 I have no idea how it got lost in my draft folder. Does this happen to any other book bloggers or am I just disorganised? Anyway, I’ve adapted the wrap up onto a quarterly wrap up…

Continue reading →: NetGalley Update | Feb 2024
This feels very much like a nothing update because I have nothing to update you on. I’ve barely started the first (and only) book I need to review and have been rejected from another. But hey, I just want to make a note of what happened this past month so…

Continue reading →: Review | Twilight by Stephenie Meyer 🍎I haven’t read Twilight since I was 12 years old but for some strange reason at 26 I decided it was time for a reread. The Twilight Saga had a little resurgence in popularity again in the Autumn of 2023, mostly through memes and edits on TikTok, taking the piss…

Continue reading →: NetGalley Update | Jan 2024
I’ve been reading “NetGalley Update/Check In” posts for the majority of my time in the book blogging community but never done one myself as I didn’t use the book reviewing site. I wanted to get back into reviewing ARCs but because I no longer have a “popular” Bookstagram account, my…

Continue reading →: My Bookish Goals for 2024Read 36 Books Last year I read 21 books, even though I had two whole months where I read nothing at all! In 2024 I plan on increasing that number a little bit with an ambitious 3 books per month. I’ve finished one book already and its only 1 week…

Continue reading →: Happy New Year! 🎉🥂 | Jan 2024 TBRHappy New Year everyone! Hope you had a good NYE celebration, I was definitely a little hangover the next morning. 😅 Last year I was terrible at sticking to any kind of reading schedule but this year I certainly need one. I’m a part of two book clubs, have my…

Continue reading →: What I Read in 2023 | StoryGraph Stats 📊Welcome to to my 2023 wrap up! I read 21 books this year though I’m actually pretty disappointed with this, despite smashing my yearly reading goal. I originally set my challenge to 12 as I did not complete my 2022 goal (I read 20+ books last year but still lost),…

Continue reading →: End of Year Book Haul | December 2023
How is it the end of 2023 already? This year has absolutely flown by! I’ve bought a lot of books this year and this is my final haul (excluding the books I’ll probably be gifted at Christmas). Frankenstein by Mary Shelley I’ve actually never read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, despite having…

Continue reading →: I completed my Goodreads Reading Challenge for 2023!
Before anyone gives me judgement for only setting my reading goal to 12 books a year, let me explain. The Goodreads Reading Challenge, in general, doesn’t matter. I set it to 12 because that’s 1 book per month. This is totally achievable for me now but a few years ago…

Continue reading →: What I Read Last Week | 04/09/2023 📚
Of course as soon as I start a weekly post schedule I miss the second week! Apologies for no update last week, time just got away from me. Unfortunately I was unable finish any books the past couple weeks but I did start two new ones. Since summer is slowly…
