2019 was a very weird reading year for me, I mean it was a weird year full stop, but in terms of reading I definitely felt all over the place. I kind of got into a major reading slump (I blame War and Peace) at the end of September and then university took over my … More My Top 10 Books of 2019
I’ve been in a slump for months, I’ve also been busy so I just didn’t do a November wrap-up and I had no plans to do a December one but I felt bad not having each month wrapped-up for 2019. I still read quite a few books, more than I anticipated, but I’m still trying … More November & December Wrap-Up
Hello, yes it’s me, I’m still alive, just haven’t blogged in the longest time. I’m going to write a full post about everything to do with this blog, and where my brain is at with all of this but anyway, onto the wrap-up. I read six books in October, one of which was for university, … More October Wrap-Up
Yes, it is the middle of October and I’m only just getting round to writing this, but it doesn’t matter because it’s still the spookiest month so this isn’t all in vain. These books aren’t necessarily horror books, more just books I associate with this month and its aesthetic. I feel like October is such … More Atmospheric Autumnal Book Recommendations
“You could either let things happen at you, or make things happen.” Synopsis: Meg had a disastrous first kiss she would rather forget, but this is the summer she puts it behind her. This is the summer she has a perfect, swoony, just-like-in-the-movies kiss with a hot boy – and what better setting than the … More Take a Chance on Me Review
I went into this book expecting to love it. I put it on my five star predictions list, and I read glowing reviews of it but I really just did not love this book. It’s not so much that I hated it, in fact I found this book very difficult to rate. I’m so confused about my feelings towards it, on the one hand I really enojoyed it, but on the other hand I never felt particularly motivated to pick it up, nor was I that interested in it at times. … More I Capture the Castle Review
Since I’m now officially a first year English literature student, I actually have to do required reading. This might seem like an incredibly short list, and it kind of is, but these are solely the books I bought, I also have to read a lot of essays and articles instead of just these books. Also, … More University Book Haul
September feels like it ended months ago, even though it was literally a few days ago. Reading is weird at the moment because I started university and I don’t understand what time management is, that or I’m just still getting used to my new schedule. Either way, I still read a lot this month, before … More September Wrap-Up
2019 has been such a weird year, and I can’t really believe we’re at October, but I also can because everything is going by simultaneously painstakingly slow, and ridiculously fast. Either way, October is a good month for book releases, and I’ve got quite an extensive list of books that I really want to read. … More Anticipated October Releases
We’re approaching October which means that it is time for Victober to begin. If you are not aware, Victober is a month long readathon where you read Victorian literature. I took part in this last year but only read one Victorian novel (oops). I don’t know if I’ll do any better this year but I’m … More Victober TBR
