The ABC Book Challenge: ‘A’

The ABC Book Challenge: ‘A’

I’ve been seeing this book challenge on loads of different blogs, but I’ve just never gotten around to starting it. But here we are! Finally!

The rules are simple. Each week you pick your most memorable reads and books from your TBR that start with that weeks letter. I can’t seem to find where this book tag originated from, so if anyone has any idea, just let me know.

Anyway, let’s get on with the tag. This week, I’m going to be talking about the books that start with the letter ‘A’. …

February Wrap Up | 2019

February Wrap Up | 2019

Hey, guys and welcome to my February wrap up! I only read 8 books this month. I say only because a few of those aren’t proper novels. One is a graphic novel, the other is a poetry book, and then 3 are children’s books. I’m hoping to really tackle my humungous TBR over the next couple of months so fingers crossed I actually manage to get to some of the novels that have been sat on my shelf for a while.

Anyway, let’s get on with the wrap-up!

February 26: Places Mentioned In Books That I’d Like to Visit (submitted by Georgia @justreadthemm)

One of the things that I love the most about reading is all of the different places that you get to visit. I figured that I could list 10 places that are real that I would like to visit, but since I read more fantasy than anything, I thought that it would be fun to list 10 fantasy locations that I completely fell in love with.

Books I Didn’t Get to in 2018

Books I Didn’t Get to in 2018

You know the feeling: you get really excited at the beginning of the year because of all of the amazing releases that are going to be coming out, and then it gets to July and you realise you’ve hardly read any of the new releases. Then, it gets to December and you’re like… shit.

Some of these books are even books that were released in 2018, but I genuinely wanted to get around to them. And these aren’t even all of them. I still haven’t gotten around to reading Illuminae… or the Grisha trilogy… Please don’t hurt me… I know that I’m missing out on so much.

Anyway, here are the 20 books that I really wish that I’d read in 2018… But didn’t. …

September 25: Authors I’d Love to Meet

There are so many authors that I would love to meet. I’ve been very lucky that I live half an hour away from Birmingham, and quite a lot of big-name authors have been there to promote their books, but there are some that I haven’t had the opportunity to meet. So here is a list of the top 10 authors that I would sell my soul to meet. …
