Bye Bye 2018!

Well, that's the end of another year! I don't really know where this year has gone. At the end of 2017 I made some resolutions. How did they go? Breakfast - I did get a waffle pan. It's not the best and I do really want to get a decent one. I have had more...

#SixforSunday 2019 in Books

This week, we're looking forward to next years books with Steph's last #SixforSunday prompt of 2018. Here are six (of the many) books I am really looking forward to in 2019: 1. Song of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury. I am excited, but also not at all ready for more adventures of Sorrow. 2. Fierce Fragile...

Merry Christmas!

I'm not staying long today, because let's be honest, no-one is reading my blog on Christmas day! S, Dexter and I would just like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas, and we will see you again soon.    

Merry Little Bookmas: Fir

For Christmas Eve and my last Merry Little Bookmas of 2018, Cora from Tea Party Princess has chosen me Fir by Sharon Gosling. Cora says: It's super creepy for winter. Not so much Christmas, but a great antidote to all the cheer. Bonus scares if it's snowing (that was my mistake). My Thoughts: Oh hi...

#SixforSunday 2018 in Books

I have absolutely no idea how to approach this week's theme as I already did my top books in last week's Six for Sunday. Steph loves to set the difficult prompts! Here are some things about books in #2018, that may or may not be relevant, and which will possibly be out of date by...

Books of Christmas Past: Batman

Why I Bought It: When it first came out, everyone is talking about this Batman origin story. I love an origin story and I'm a big fan of Batman so I got a copy. Naturally, it then spent an age on my TBR. What I Thought: I found this book got off to a slow...

The Christmas, Books and I Tag

I have shamelessly stolen this from my friend Sarah's blog. This looked like a fun Christmas-themed tag, which my Blogmas was definitely in need of. Where do you usually spend your Christmas? Since we had S, we have spent Christmas Day at home. At some point, we visit our family in the North West. Last...

Coffee and… A Happy December

For this last Coffee and... post of the year I'm sitting down to do my last list of happy things for 2018. The Coffee: Okay. Major cheat here, this week I'm actually drinking hot honey and lemon with ginger, I have another rancid cold, my sinuses are blocked and aching and I can't face coffee....

Books with the Boy: The Dog Who Saved Christmas by Nicola Davies

I was sent this book by Kirstin from Barrington Stoke to do a review of. I have saved it until December to read so that it was nearly Christmas, because it is good to read a book about Christmas when it is nearly here. It was about a dog and a boy named Jake who...
