    June TBR

    My friends, I suck at sticking to TBRs. However, as June begins, I think a monthly TBR might just be advisable, nay, necessary. You see, I’ve taken a look at my NetGalley shelf and, guys, it’s not good; there are so many things I’ve been fortunate enough to get an eARC of and I’ve not taken advantage of…

    May 2017 | Wrap Up

    As a month, May has been a pleasant surprise. I settled (well am settling, it’s an ongoing process) into my new job and I’m starting to find my feet so that’s been lovely. Also, the benefits of now working full-time are that I have a longer lunch break that I used to – now I have a blissful…

    Review | Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge

    Welcome, friends. Last night I saw the latest of the Pirates of the Caribbean films – Salazar’s Revenge (terrible title tbh) aka Dead Men Tell No Tales (the much superior US (?) title). And I have some thoughts about it. This is less of a measured and academic “review” and more of a “Emma has a lot of feelings so…

    Welcome one, welcome all, to another round of Tag Thursday. This week’s tag was found over at Thrice Read (will I ever not start a tag post with that phrase?), and it is called the Spring Cleaning Book Tag. This tag couldn’t have come at a more apropos moment in my life because I desperately need to…

  • WWW Wednesday #3 | 24th May 2017

    You’d be forgiven for not remembering the last time I did a WWW Wednesday (it was back in March, fyi) because I’ve been on the Top 5 Wednesday bandwagon for a little while instead. However, this week, I’ve decided to plump for a WWW post and talk a little about what I’m reading and planning…

    Discussion | Reading Before Watching

    Hi folks, I bring you something of a discussion post regarding something that has been on my mind recently – reading before watching. Let me clarify – reading a book before watching the adaptation. I think I speak for all of us readers when I say that we tend to hold to the sanctity of…
