100th Blog Post Special: My favourite place to read
Welcome back! I hope you’re all having a wonderful Sunday. Today is a special one as this is my 100th blog post! I can’t believe I’ve written 100 already, it seems like no time since I was writing my very first post. I recently perfected my favourite reading spot, so it seems like a good […]

Read MoreUnboxing and Review: Page Anchor [Bookish item]
This post is not sponsored. I am in no way affiliated with Page Anchor and this item was gifted to me by a relative. For Christmas, I was fortunate enough to receive a stunning Page Anchor from a relative. It was something I’d put on my wish list, but I didn’t expect to find one […]
Read MoreFavourite Middle-Grade Books of 2018
Welcome back! I thought I’d start my book wrap up of 2018, starting off with my favourite – middle-grade.

It signifies the end of World War I (the eleventh hour, in the eleventh day of the eleventh month) and commemorates all of the lives lost during this […]
Read MoreSunday Blog: Cheltenham Literature Festival
Happy Sunday everyone! Tomorrow I am off to Cheltenham Literature Festival for the first of two days (not consecutive) I’ll be spending there. I’m lucky enough to live just over an hour away by train (although going by the train prices it’s probably cheaper to get to Mars). Here I’m going to lay out my […]
Read MoreSunday Blog: My favourite book covers so far this year
Happy Sunday everyone! Today I thought I’d share with you some of my favourite book covers so far this year. Just to be clear, these are books I have acquired this year, so they were not necessarily published in 2018 (although most of them were). Most are still on my TBR list but that doesn’t […]
Read MoreSunday Blog: A commentary on the attack on Bookmarks bookshop
Normally, I like to post quite a light-hearted, chatty blog post on a Sunday but after hearing about the disturbing news of the attack on Bookmarks bookshop in London, I do not feel I can do that. I said just a couple of weeks ago that I would never discuss politics on my blog, but […]
