  • March TBR

    I don’t do well with TBRs – for proof see any posts allegedly labelled Monthly TBR which were not ever read in that specified month, and in fact probably are still on my bookshelves untouched to this very day. However, every so often I get on a roll with a series of books and I feel…

    Book Traveling Thursdays is a weekly meme for book bloggers which celebrates the distance a book travels by way of its covers.

  • Teaser Tuesday | 1st March

    Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme created at A Daily Rhythm. Its simplicity greatly appeals to me since all that you need to do is grab your current read, open to a random page and share two “teaser” sentences, being careful about spoilers.

  • Friday Reads | 5th February

    Another Friday, another blessed end to the week. Except I’m luckier than most and only have a part time job so, really, every Friday sees me looking forward to a four day weekend until I have to go back into work on Wednesday. Plenty of time to catch up on some reading and reviewing then,…
