Reading
A collection on my blog of everything I’ve been reading — from monthly wrap ups and detailed reviews to curated book lists and book recommendations.
August 2026 reading wrap up
August got slightly out of hand. I read 17 books for the MS Readathon, from cosy fantasy and traumatised college boys to gargoyle romance and a bittersweet classic. And somehow, an accidental theme emerged.
Romantasy books with happy endings
Sometimes you want magical kingdoms, dangerous bargains, spicy monsters and emotional devastation, but only with a guaranteed HEA. From cosy standalones to trauma-filled completed series, these 12 romantasy recommendations promise that everything will eventually be okay.
July 2026 reading wrap up
July's reading was gloriously chaotic: nine books spanning romance, romantasy, paranormal politics and Arthurian emotional devastation. There were redemption arcs, questionable decisions, excellent pining and several occasions when fictional characters made me cry.
MS Readathon 2026: Reading for a Cause
After a quiet few months, I'm back. Here's why burnout led me to romance, what I've been building behind the scenes, and why this next chapter, for both Meeghan Reads and my editing career, feels like the happy ending I didn't know I needed.
June 2026 reading wrap up
June was a much stronger reading month, even if my Goodreads challenge still insists I'm behind. From discovering two new favourite authors to neighbours-to-lovers chaos involving silly string, here are the six romances I read, the books that surprised me, and the one that made me laugh the most.
May 2026 reading wrap up
May was a slower reading month, with just four books finished and my yearly reading goal starting to slip away. From sports romances that didn't quite live up to expectations to the addictive fantasy of Half City, here's everything I read — and why cliffhangers should probably come with a warning.
Sometimes you need the happy ending
After a quiet few months, I'm back. Here's why burnout led me to romance, what I've been building behind the scenes, and why this next chapter, for both Meeghan Reads and my editing career, feels like the happy ending I didn't know I needed.
April 2026 reading wrap up
A month of mystery houses, romance, fantasy, and a game that completely consumed my attention. Here's everything I read, loved, and occasionally side-eyed in April 2026.
March 2026 reading wrap up
Vampires, romances, fantasy adventures, and a few surprises made March a wonderfully varied reading month. Here's everything I read and what I thought of it.
February 2026 reading wrap up
A month filled with unexpected favourites, memorable romances, and one book that immediately became a contender for my best reads of the year. Here's my February reading wrap up.
January 2026 reading wrap up
The year got off to a strong start with fantasy adventures, cosy reads, and a few disappointments along the way. Here's everything I read in January 2026.
June 2025 TBR
My reading plans for June included a mix of anticipated releases, backlist titles, and a healthy dose of optimism. Here's what I hoped to read during the month.
May 2025 TBR
Hello friends!! Welcome to my May 2025 TBR. A post where I will attempt to take my best guess at what I will feel like reading for the upcoming month.

All the books Isaac bought in Paris
Hello friends!! This post has taken me months in making… I’d like to talk about all the books Isaac bought in Paris, in Heartstopper season two. I almost did this post in 2023, but life was a whole thing and I really fell out of blogging. 2024 was a bit better, but I was really just focussed on stabilising me.…

Hello friends!! Welcome to my April 2025 TBR. A post where I will attempt to take my best guess at what I will feel like reading for the upcoming month. Wow, ok.

February 2025 TBR
Hello friends!! Welcome to my February 2025 TBR. A post where I will attempt to take my best guess at what I will feel like reading for the upcoming month.

2025 reading challenges I will complete
Hello friends!! Welcome to me rambling a post about which 2025 reading challenges I will participate in. I mean, I will complete!! Ok, so like, 2024 was not the raging success that I thought it would be. But I’m going to put it down to the very non-confident way that I phrased the post. Let’s be honest, “2024 reading challenges…
January 2025 TBR
Hello friends!! Welcome to my January 2025 TBR. A post where I will attempt to take my best guess at what I will feel like reading for the upcoming month. It’s a new year, and therefore a new me!

Hello friends!! Welcome to my November 2024 TBR. A post where I will attempt to take my best guess at what I will feel like reading for the upcoming month. I don’t know about anyone else.

October 2024 TBR
Hello friends!! Welcome to my October 2024 TBR. A post where I will attempt to take my best guess at what I will feel like reading for the upcoming month. My September TBR was… a 50% completion rate.
