Mid-Year Book Freak Out 2022

The Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag was originally co-created by Earl Grey Books and Chami back in 2016 as a means to check in on your bookish goals and the books you've read so far this year. It has since become a booklovers staple and I love the hard-hitting (how the hell do choose …

MONTHLY TBR: February 2022

After giving myself January to just read, relax and reset, I'm now ready to roll out my revised monthly TBR system in February. It's not overly different, but it is hopefully an improvement on what I found to be a somewhat stale structure, that didn't help me choose books as much as it made sure …

Top Ten Books of 2021!

Usually when I sit down to write these posts it takes a while to either narrow down a list or get my thoughts in order. Sometimes there is a lot of agonising over what books should be included, or whether book A was better than book B etc, and if I'm going to number them …

MONTHLY TBR: October 2021

In terms of reading plans for October, I have an ambitious TBR below, but I'm keeping the month low-key. With How To Train You Gavin's Believeathon in November, I don't want to risk burning myself out this month, and thus am taking a step back from readathons in October. Instead I shall be am aiming …

MONTHLY TBR: September 2021

This month I'm participating in Becca's Bookoplathon, a month-long readathon hosted by Becca and the Books. So with that in mind, my TBR has been decided entirely by the readathon's Bookopoly board.

The readathon this time is running from Monday 28th June 2021 until Sunday 4th …
