February 2021 wrap-up
Hello bookworms!! It’s time for the February 2021 wrap-up.

February 2021 book haul
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the February 2021 book haul!! A monthly post where I shame myself for never achieving my goal of buying less than I read… (spoiler – March will be no different, it’s the 6th and I’m already over my 5 book limit…) Actually, come to think of it, I still haven’t posted my goals for 2021… But…

March 2021 TBR
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the March 2021 TBR post. So… it’s been a hot minute since I’ve written a TBR. In fact, I believe the last one I did was in October last year.

2020 WRAP-UP!!
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the 2020 wrap-up!! I can’t believe we’re already in February 2021.

November and December 2020 wrap-up

October ’20 book haul
Good morning bookworms!! It’s time for the monthly book haul!! October was slightly out of control, but I’m refusing to take responsibility because I got A LOT of review books last month. Which is great because it means publishers are liking me. But it’s also bad because I now have more review books that I can read for the rest…

The Bookish Baking tag
Good morning bookworms!! IT IS TIME!! Time to start catching up on book tags!! (Also, I apologise for anyone that has tagged me in anything in the last 2 years.

Good morning bookworms!! Welcome to the September 2020 wrap-up!! September is done, so that’s another month checked off for 2020 in this seemingly endless year.

August ’20 wrap-up
Hello bookworms! So apparently August is over, and I barely even noticed. And it’s now almost halfway through September and I haven’t done my wrap-up (until now), and what even is organisation?!!

So, you’re looking for a new Harry Potter… magic school!
Hello bookworms!! Let’s be honest, the absolute shitshow of JK Rowling’s recent(ish) social media outbursts have had a lot of us questioning our support of the Potterverse. A lot of my friends have stopped buying official merch (which gives JK money), taken their HP books off their shelves, or even given them away. Maybe one day we’ll be better able…
