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. That’s how far behind I am… 😅) The lovely Luna @ Bookish Luna tagged me in the Bookish Baking tag back in August!! I might be starting at the wrong…

September ’20 wrap-up
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. And while I’m not American and don’t live in the US, I can’t help but feel that the worst for this year is not over yet. (Yes, I am talking about the upcoming election. Please…

Third quarter challenge check-in!
Good morning bookworms!! Well… this is a post that I thought would have come earlier in this year. However, 2020 is a slippery beast, and it is now October. I know, right? How in the world did this happen?? This shit-show of a year is three quarters over. Just three months left!! And since we only have three months left,…

October ’20 TBR
Good morning bookworms!! So… it’s been a hot minute since I’ve written a TBR, and honestly, sometimes I even wonder why I do it, when it is abundantly clear that I very rarely stick to them!! But there are still a couple of books that I want to read before the end of the year (and some review books that…

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?!! I was behind on blog-hopping, and updating goodreads. And I still AM behind on my spreadsheets, review copies, writing blog posts and book reviews, instagram… life? In saying…

August ’20 book haul
Good morning bookworms!! It’s time for the monthly book haul!! August was… surprisingly ok-ish. The thing that tips me over was my enormously huge graphic novel order, as it all came at once… But we will get to that soon!! Book haul categories are as follows: book boxes book purchases (book mail, in-store, digital* and gifts) review copies (book mail…

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…

July ’20 wrap-up
Hello bookworms! Did I completely forget that July is over and I haven’t done a wrap-up yet? Yes, I did. Along with not doing all the other things I meant to do in July… (like that challenge update… which is still coming…) July… was a month. I do feel a bit like the whole world is going to shit right…

July ’20 book haul
Good morning bookworms!! It’s time for the monthly book haul!! July… wasn’t terrible?!! The rest of my birthday book haul came in, so it was ok, but still more than I would have liked it to be!! Book haul categories are as follows: book boxes book purchases (book mail, in-store, digital* and gifts) review copies (book mail and…

August ’20 TBR
Good morning bookworms! You know why Joanne (this is how I’m probs going to refer to her from now on) being a total transphobic troll is the worst thing ever? Because she has RUINED EVERYTHING. We can’t feel joy about the series any more, (and I will forever have an incomplete set of the illustrated versions). But more importantly, she…

2020 Book Blogger Award nominations
Hello bookworms! Why yes, I have absolutely left my nominations this year until almost the very last moment. Something new and different for my procrastinating self!! In case you weren’t aware, this is the fourth annual awards, and this year May @ Forever and Everly (who ran them last year) and Marie @ Drizzle and Hurricane Books will be co-hosting…

2020 mid-year freak out!
Hello bookworms!! A couple of weeks ago, the gorgeous duo of Marie and Nyx @ Drizzle Hurricane Books tagged me to do the mid-year freak out book tag. And I’m late to the party because I seem to be late at everything lately… Also, I don’t like to do this until after we hit the mid-way mark of the year…

June ’20 wrap-up
Good evening bookworms! Does anyone else feel like this year has simultaneously taken 30 seconds, and 8 years?! I am so tired, but also, where the hell did this year go? How are we already more than halfway through? Thankfully I have a week of holidays coming up. I’m hoping that I can use some of that time to catch…
-
The Book Predictions tag
Good morning bookworms! Because the lovely Shanah is still on a blog hiatus, and there’s no Top 5 Tuesday, all Tuesdays in July will be dedicated to catching up on tags! Which, will barely make a dint in the pile of tags I have HOARDED (like a dragon – seriously, I have 52 on my list, and that does not…

July ’20 TBR: Pop Culture Readathon
Good morning bookworms! So… this is a bit late, but there’s a reason for it. I completely forgot that I had intended on doing the Pop Culture Readathon this month. And because I forgot, my plan was to just reread the Mortal Instruments (which I have almost totally forgotten because the TV series has stolen what actually happened from my…

June ’20 book haul

#Start-On-Your-Shelf-a-thon Challenge
Good morning bookworms! Do you remember in 2019 when I used to post monthly updates on all my challenges? What the f*** happened to moderately organised Meeghan? I think she fell down a well and Lassie wasn’t nearby. (Shout out if you’re old enough to understand that reference…) So, for a bit of context, many, many, MANY months ago (like,…

May ’20 wrap-up
Good morning bookworms! 2020 has been a time. One of my friends was joking that she and her sister are going to make a tour band style t-shirt for 2020, but instead of concerts, it’s just going to be all the shit that is going on in the world this year against each month. I imagine it’s going to look…

May ’20 book haul
Good morning bookworms!! It’s time for the monthly book haul!! We’re keeping on at reasonable numbers over here – I mean, I’m still gaining more than I am reading (please help me), but it’s not outrageous!!

June ’20 TBR
Good morning bookworms! Look, I’ll be honest. I don’t even know HOW we are at the end of May already. There’s clearly some faulty timer or something else gone wrong with 2020, you know, as well as all the other stuff that’s gone wrong with this year… Anyway, separate from my big monthly wrap up that’s coming sometime next week,…
