December 2022 TBR
Hello friends!! Well, it’s finally happened. For the first time since I joined Goodreads (in 2013), it’s looking like I won’t hit my Goodreads goal. So, I’m making a December 2022 TBR (or really end of year as I do still have 4 days of November). I need to get my game face on. And that’s not even thinking about…

Top 5 queer books I don’t scream about enough
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to this week’s Top 5 Tuesday!! My post for the freebie is top 5 queer books I don’t scream about enough. I haven’t put any ‘pride’ related topics on for June, because it’s my opinion that we should ALWAYS celebrate and promote LGBTQ+ (or queer) books. And as a bisexual person, I try and read queer books…

Hello bookworms!! It’s time for the September 2021 wrap up. FINALLY!! Remember how we were catching up on things?? And it was all going so well??

Books inspired by Slavic lore
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to a post that I have been wanting to write for a very long time: Books inspired by Slavic lore. I know this may seem like a super random topic, but hear me out. A few weeks ago we did a Top 5 Tuesday topic called top 5 retellings. As you may know, retellings are one of…

2021 mid-year freak out
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the (very late) 2021 mid-year freak out tag. I do normally post this in early July (I’m a stickler that July 2 is the midpoint of the calendar year), but July got away from me, and then so did August, and September. So, you’re getting it in in October. But rest assured, I haven’t added anything…

Top 5 sequels I would sell my soul for
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 sequels I would sell my soul for. I mean, I don’t actually want to sell my soul. Soul-selling is completely optional. Coincidentally I read a dark, gothic fantasy book this week that has a character you could probably sell your soul to… And that’s definitely not for…

Hello bookworms!! Today I want to address the chaos that is my life, and the 15 books that I’m currently reading. PLEASE SEND HELP. I mean, who even knows how these things happen.

Top 5 hyped books I love
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 hyped books I love… and while I thought this topic would be easy, I actually really struggled far more than I was expecting to.

Top 5 adaptations I liked better than the books
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s Top 5 Tuesday is top 5 adaptations I liked better than the books. It’s inconceivable, really, but sometimes I have loved the adaptation more than the original text. I know, I can’t believe I said it either!! It’s basically sacrilegious. So, today let’s talk about really great adaptations. I had to…

Top 5 series I need to finish
Hello bookworms!! Happy Tuesday!! This week’s Top 5 Tuesday is top 5 series I need to finish. Continuing this month’s topics where I have personally victimised myself, I would also like to extend an apology to DB for today, which I’m sure will become more obvious later on.

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.

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.

May ’20 TBR
Good morning bookworms! How are we already a third of the way through the year? I feel like 2020 has taken about 39 seconds, but also 6 years. I have aged 13 years since being at home. All. The. TIME. However, I can’t shouldn’t complain too much, because I know I am fortunate to still have a job – I…
