  • Friday Reads | 10th June

    Just a quick Friday Reads post from me today where I’ll share what I plan to read this Friday and into the weekend ahead. It will be no surprise to learn that I’m still working my way through A Game of Thrones (slow but steady wins the race, right?) for the #readasoiaf readalong and I…

    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,…

  • An Update & Friday Reads | 15th January

    I have excellent news… I started a job last week. I know, I’m as surprised as you are. At its most basic, it means I no longer have to go to the soul-destroying non-place that is the local friendly Job Centre Plus – huzzah. At its best, it’s a job I think I can vaguely…

    As you might have been able to tell from the utter lack of posts since last week, the weekend and start of the week was… interesting, to say the least. The weather was what they euphemistically call “inclement”. For me that meant a mildly sleepless Saturday and Sunday night whilst the wind howled outside, for…

    Another week goes by, another Friday rolls round with the promise of a weekend’s worth of reading. For most people this Friday Reads trend (tag? Meme?) is especially relevant because they work hard 9-5 at jobs during the week so Saturday and Sunday represents 48 hours of blissful freedom from the office.  However unemployed graduates…

    Huzzah, huzzah, it’s Friday again! Which means it is high time for some weekend reading goal settings, regardless of how busy the weekend is looking. I don’t have much/anything planned at all for this weekend but I just have a funny sort of feeling that I’ll be distracted for a lot of it. I’m not…

  • Friday Reads | 20th November

    Last week the unthinkable happened – I actually successfully read every book on my Friday Reads over the course of the weekend. I’m as surprised as anyone. However, none of them were particularly taxing reads, so that’s quite possibly how I managed to actually stick to a TBR for once. This weekend I’m hoping to…

  • Friday Reads | 13th November

    Unsurprisingly I have fallen so far behind with NaNoWriMo that I feel like I’ve stopped trying to catch up. I had put reading on the backburner a little in favour of writing but in the past few days I’ve realised that, if I’m falling behind with writing anyway, I might as well read a little…

    This Friday Reads is an optimistic one (aren’t they always?) given I’ll be enjoying a long weekend of relaxation (hopefully) in Edinburgh with a trio of lovely friends. You’d think this means zero reading time but as I am me and everyone involved knows that, I’ll still be taking a couple of books along with me because…

  • Friday Reads | 18th September 2015

    Long time no see. I was away enjoying a lovely relaxing holiday in Menorca for a week without proper Internet access – that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. I did manage to finish a couple of books whilst I was there though, so there is that. I come to you from the same…
