    Discussion | Self-Identification Online

    This week, in the midst of trying to put more care into my online outlets, I actually took a proper look at my online profiles and realised that perhaps it was time for an update. My Twitter profile, for example, still listed me as an English literature student – a fact I still can’t seem…

    Tag | The Intimidating TBR Pile

    I’ve seen this tag from a few bloggers and booktubers and today I happen to be very much in the mood of ‘jesus I own a lot of books’, which seems the perfect time to confront the problem head-on and do The Intimidating TBR Pile tag. I was indirectly tagged by Sarah at Sarah’s Chapter…

    Discussion | Stagnation & Slumps

    WordPress reliably informs me that my last review (The Alloy of Law as it happens) was published a whole 51 days ago. That’s practically two whole months. Since that point I’ve published 12 posts which isn’t terrible, but it isn’t brilliant by any stretch of the imagination. As I look back, however, I realise that very few of…

  • T5W | Fictional Items I Want

    After a few weeks of no-shows for Top 5 Wednesday, I am firmly back on the bandwagon. For those who are unaware, Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme/challenge organised by the wonderful Lainey, in which participants devise their Top 5 books based on a given topic – because who doesn’t love a good list? This week’s topic is…

  • A Cumulative Book Haul

    I’ve started to flip between feeling immense guilt for spending money on books when I’m trying to save money for the future and between thinking BUT BOOKS – it’s a dilemma I’m sure most book lovers can appreciate. Documenting all the books I’ve accumulated since Christmas will hopefully illustrate to me how much of a…

  • Book Travelling Thursdays | Heroines

     Book Traveling Thursdays is a weekly meme for book bloggers which celebrates the distance a book travels by way of its covers. I’ve only recently discovered this meme thanks to the blog of the co-creator, Catia (the other being Danielle) and the Goodreads group, but I love the concept of it – particularly because it gives me the…

  • 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…
