December Wrap Up | 2020

December Wrap Up | 2020

I’m writing this on 1st January 2020. I’ve completed my Goodreads challenge of 50 books, and I’ve set my 2021 Goodreads challenge for the same amount. I’m sat in the living room with my dog snoring to the right-hand side of me, a cup of tea warming my hands, and the Christmas tree is sparkling. I am hoping, I am praying that 2021 is better than 2020, because I don’t think any of us could go through what we went through last year again.

Baby It’s Cold Outside | Book Tag

Baby It’s Cold Outside | Book Tag

Hey, guys! It’s December, it’s nearly the end of 2020, and IT’S FREEZING OUTSIDE here in the U.K. I mean, I’m not complaining, I much prefer Autumn and Winter, so I’m in my element right now! Because of the weather, I thought that it would be very fitting to do this book tag.

I found it over on Regina’s blog: Bookish in Bed and I loved the idea of doing it for myself!

May Wrap Up | 2020

May Wrap Up | 2020

Hey, guys and welcome to my May wrap up! I’ve read quite a lot this month due to audiobooks! They are just incredible things that really help me with my reading. There are times where I just don’t feel like picking up a physical book due to a lack of motivation. But audiobooks really help me slowly get back into it and I’ve listened to some pretty amazing books this month!

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

February Book Haul | 2019

I can’t believe that it’s the beginning of March already. It’s stressing me out so much.

In February, I bought quite a few books as there were LOADS of amazing releases and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them.

Anyway, without any further ado, let’s jump into the book haul…

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.

Yes, I know that I’m like a billion years too late in reading this. My TBR IS MILES AND MILES long, and if I’m being completely honest, I only read this when I did because Samantha Shannon was at YALC so I probably wouldn’t have read it for another billion years. BUT IT’S OK! I’ve read it now! And I can honestly say that I’m really sad that I didn’t read beforehand, because I really really enjoyed it.

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.
