All in Books

Recommend Some LGBT+ Books

This week on Six For Sunday we’ve been given the challenge of recommending some LGBT+ books! My only problem is fitting all my recommendations in to one post… So I’ve gone with the six queer stories that I’ve enjoyed the most / return to most frequently (so far!).

Books That Give Off Summer Vibes

This week for Top Ten Tuesday we’re looking at books that give off all the summer vibes! I’ve chosen books that make me think of summer, books I’ve read in summer… there’s a whole load of summer ahead, people.

My Favourite Series

This week’s Six For Sunday sees us chatting about our favourite series - which is great for me, because I can never pick an individual book, and can’t ever narrow it down to more than a series. So, here are my all-time faves!

#MakeYourMythTaker Readathon!

I cannot resist a good readathon, and when I saw Ashleigh’s video (and my twitter feed) getting excited over #MakeYourMythTaker, I thought I needed to give it a go! I love fantasy as a genre anyway, as well as myths and retellings - my WIP is a myth/legend retelling! - so I’m excited to read the books I’ve chosen, as well as getting loads of recommendations from everyone else who’s participating throughout the month!

April Reading Wrap Up!

I read a LOT in April, and not just because of Kate’s fab Easter Readathon! I also tried to read a little outside of my comfort zone (read: I tried adult books. WHAT.) and the results were actually quite surprising! Including - spoilers - possibly my book of the year. It’s been a wild ride…

It's the Easter Readathon!

I was so excited when I heard that Kate was doing #EasterReadathon again! So, as per usual, here’s my wildly overambitious list of books I’m planning on reading over the long weekend…

#SixForSunday: Books That Have Been On My TBR Forever

I didn’t have a blog post scheduled for today, but then I saw the wonderful Steph’s Six For Sunday and… well, let’s just say I started counting all the books I own but haven’t yet read the other day, and I stopped counting when I got north of fifty. Oops.

So, here are five of the books that have been waiting on my TBR for the longest!

Readathon: Book HiBEARnation

BOOKS

What’s this? I’m blogging again? Well, I suppose there’s nothing like a pandemic to give you time and space to do all the things life has somewhat got in the way of in the meantime!

The reason I decided to crack out my keyboard and get blogging is because I’m really looking forwards to joining in with…

The Big 2018 Blog Post

When I saw this wonderful bookish tag over on ALittleButALot, I couldn’t resist giving it a go myself! The start of new year is always a good time to reflect on reading, and these questions really made me think…

The Artist Date: Visiting the Bronte Parsonage

So recently I have been inspired to take myself off on solo dates, or an 'artist date'. Spending time treating yourself is something I don't think any of us do enough of, and given I was driving past, it seemed a perfect opportunity for me to treat myself to a leisurely lunch stop over in Haworth, home of the Brontës…

My YALC Book Haul

It's my YALC haul! Now, I was very good this year. Really, very good. Last year I came home with many, many more books. So here is my much more restrained YALC 2018 book haul!

June Reading Wrap Up

Another month, another wrap up! This month I've read / listened to a real mix of non-fiction, fiction, and comfort reads. Here's the final list! First up in June I read…

How Do You Like Me Now?

I know this is first and foremost a writing blog, but sometimes a book has such an impact on you that you have to write about it straight away. How Do You Like Me Now? was one of those books...

May Reading Wrap Up

This month I have read SO MANY books. Partly due to new releases I have been incredibly excited to get my hands on, and partly due to being completely determined to dent that pre-existing TBR of mine…

A (Very Overdue) April Reading Wrap Up

The last two months have been completely mad with work and life in general, but I’ve still been reading an absolute ton of great books in this time (keep your eyes peeled for my May reading wrap up, which will follow very closely on the heels of this one!).

The first book I read in April was…
