I'm starting to wonder if Steph struggles with her own prompts sometimes. This week was really HARD, which is what happens when you're a book sheep who reads the same things as everyone else. Baaaaaa. 1. Jar Baby by Hayley Webster - This book is so overlooked and I don't know why because it is... Continue Reading →
April in Books
I decided that April was going to be my month for attacking the arcs on my TBR. Not literally attacking them, I'm not that strange yet, although they'd probably disappear off my shelves faster if I did go at them with a crossbow. I did enjoy having a list to follow for reading. I didn't... Continue Reading →
Blog Tour: The Leavers by Lisa Ko
Today is my slot on the blog tour for The Leavers by Lisa Ko. About the Book: One morning, Deming Guo's mother, Polly, goes to her job at a nail salon - and never comes home. No-one can find any trace of her. With his mother gone, eleven-year-old Deming is left mystified and bereft. Eventually... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Goodbye Perfect by Sara Barnard
“Holy fucking shitballs Bonnie” Okay, I stole Sara’s quote to open this review, but honestly, there is no better description of this book than that. Seriously. I screamed swears at this book so many times I lost count. It hit all my feeling buttons, and some I didn’t even know I had. I was basically... Continue Reading →
Coffee and…My April Book Haul
Every month I swear to myself that I will buy fewer books. Every month ends in me swearing in a very different way as I write these posts and own up to all the books I have gained since I swore I wouldn't. The Coffee: This week, I'm drinking Nemba, a filter coffee from Burundi,... Continue Reading →
The Rapid Fire Book Tag
The lovely Kelly from This Northern Gal tagged the #NorthernBookBloggers , and I am a bad book blogger who has sat on this tag for a month because every time I tried to do it, it gave me real stress. So much stress that when I sat down to do it this time, I spent... Continue Reading →
Six for Sunday: Favourite Reading Snacks
Wor Steph really loves to taunt us with the tricky prompts, eh? I'm not a big one for snacks when I'm reading, because I don't like to get food between my pages, so this week's six took a lot of thinking (and possibly a little bit of cheating). 1. Coffee - If I am reading... Continue Reading →
Coffee and… My April BuJo
Join me in a coffee today whilst I take a look at this month's bullet journal spreads and talk a little about what changed from March. The Coffee: This week, I'm drinking El Recreo, a Columbian coffee from Maude Coffee Roasters The Bullet Journal: First up is this month's title page. I'm sticking to the... Continue Reading →
Six for Sunday: Favourite Places to Read
Ok, this week's prompt from Steph was hard to do. Six places I like to read? Can I count my bed and armchair three times each? No? Huh. Well, that's annoying. 1. My bed - my bed is cosy, the lighting is perfect, I have a cosy blanket on top of my duvet, and on... Continue Reading →
The Spring Has Sprung Book Tag
I do love a good tag, and this is my first one of 2018. Amy from Golden Books Girl tagged me to do this one, and as we're officially in spring now (can someone tell the weather?) it seemed like an appropriate time to do a spring book tag. I love spring, it's my second... Continue Reading →
