Off the Shelf – #10

Hi everyone! 'Off the shelf' is a monthly post where I attempt to regain control of my TBR by selecting a book that has sat on my bookshelves for over a year. I talk a little bit about the book and why I purchased it and then I actually read it 😊. My next book…

TBR – September 2017

Hi everyone! I am close to giving up on ever getting my TBR under control, but my new way of 'planning' my reading for the month seems to be working, even if it does not stop me buying books ☺️ I tried this TBR Shelf for the first time in August and it went much…

Down the TBR Hole – #5

Hi everyone! Down the TBR Hole is a meme hosted by Lia at Lost in a Story and is all about regaining control of your TBR. It is as simple as sorting your Goodreads to-read list into date order, starting with the oldest first, selecting the books and deciding whether to keep on your TBR…

Quick Quote – #9

Hi everyone I thought I would do this a little bit differently, as these posts were largely taking over my blog. Instead of another post announcing the topic for the week, I tweeted the prompt yesterday. This weeks prompt was 'Nevernight', my current read. Why this quote? This quote really sums up the thoughts I…

Book Review – The Gunslinger by Stephen King

TBR – August 2017

All the Books – #4

Hi everyone! It's time for my latest update on how I am getting on with reducing my TBR. It will probably not surprise you (based on my last few 'All the Books' posts), but I do not think that I have done very well at reducing my TBR this time. It all started to go…

Quick Quote – #8

Hi everyone! Welcome to Quick Quote! The prompt for this week was ‘Geekerella’, one of my recent reads. Why this quote? This quote is a really useful reminder not to be afraid to try, even if seems impossible to achieve your aims. I think we all have examples in our lives when we put something […]

Post Holiday Plans

Hi everyone! i have just come back from a relaxing two week holiday that has left me full of energy and eager to make some changes. I had not realised how tired I was, how rundown I felt, and taking a break from it all was really needed. I did not have reliable internet connections…
