I ended June with 305 books on Mount Ted the TBR, which for me is pretty restrained. I still live in hope that I'll get this to a nice low number (maybe even double figures) at some point. I read 8 books this month: False Hearts, Brightstorm, A Bad Boy Stole My Bra, I Was... Continue Reading →
July Haul
It's the end of another month and once again I have been filling up my shelves (and the space at the side of my shelves, and down the side of the chair, and...oh never mind). I have bought A Lot of books this month. More than my usual ridiculous amount. Feel free to judge me... Continue Reading →
Six for Sunday: Books That Made You Fall in Love
LOL Steph, giving me prompts about human emotions again. You so cute. I had no idea how to answer "six books that made me fall in love", unless you mean in love with books and then I would need this to be 600 for Sunday. I've been in a serious, long-term relationship with the guy I married... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Book Review: The House with Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson
Before I write sensible words about this story, can we admire how utterly gorgeous this book is? The cover is just stunning, and the illustrations inside are beautiful.

Book Review: They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
“Death-Cast is calling with the warning of a lifetime- I’m going to die today.” I know that I am late to this book. I have had it sitting on my shelf starting at me judgementally since release day, when I sent Husband to the YA section of my local Waterstones to pick up a copy... Continue Reading →
