    Ringing in the New Year Book Tag

    Good morning bookworms! Right! I’m here to start the new year off with a bang! And what better way to do it, than to steal some tags that are about a year old, and recreate them and send them back out into the world? (No, but seriously, this was waaaaaay easier than creating my own tag.) So, we’re rebranding an…

    September ’18 wrap-up and October TBR

    September wrap-up My reading month was ok for September. I read seven books, but I definitely got distracted by Sophie’s post and then I found Kindle Unlimited and I read way more eBooks than I normally do. So my TBR didn’t really go down… But I still read a some good books so I’m satisfied with my reading pile! I…

  • LitJoy Batman: Nightwalker unboxing

    So I’ve been mucking around with iMovie this morning editing my unboxing video I took for the LitJoy crate. I did upload this one to Instagram, but apparently they hate videos longer than 60 seconds, so I deleted it and redid it all fast so it fit! So, this is the slightly longer one that I put on YouTube. It’s…
