In some ways February has lasted forever but in others it seems to have disappeared! I think because work has been so busy, this term has left me exhausted. This has all confirmed that I definitely do not want to be a teacher! I can't wait to go back to my normal teaching assistant job.… Continue reading February wrap up
So this year I'm trying to save money and keep thinking about cancelling my subscription to Book Box Club but then they announce their themes and I just can't bring myself to! I look forward to their boxes every month. They just do too good a job! The theme for January was At the Masquerade… Continue reading January Book Box Club
So I’m going to review the trilogy as a whole rather than each book, mainly because I read them one after the other so they’ve all kind of merged into one! So be warned there may be spoilers ahead for Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising. My mission for this year is to read… Continue reading Shadow and Bone Trilogy
Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s theme is: Purple, Yellow and/or Green covers (in honour of Mardis… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Purple, Yellow and/or Green covers
The Guest List by Lucy Foley was one of my impulse Tesco purchases after work last year (because yes, even in the first lockdown, schools weren’t closed) and after seeing it praised so much on bookstagram it just accidentally ended up in my basket. Not helped by their 2 for £8 deal. I didn’t know… Continue reading The Guest List
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for a free e-ark in exchange for an honest review. ★★★ Going Green is an adult contemporary by Nick Spalding. I’ve never read anything by Nick Spalding so went into this with no expectation other than distant memories of reading contemporaries back in my teen years (think Sophie Kinsella… Continue reading Going Green
I feel like I've actually read quite a few books this month to say how tired I've been. All my reading has basically taken place over the weekends because I'm too tired to do anything when I get home. I even had to bail last Thursday on the Book Box Club group chat because my… Continue reading January wrap up
A massive thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for a free e-ark in exchange for an honest review. ★★★★ I'd read Chalk Man from CJ Tudor last year and, although I don't remember much about the plot, I do remember enjoying it, which is what made me request The Burning Girls. I also… Continue reading The Burning Girls
Happy New Year! Yes I am a week late but can you blame me with the week we've just had in the UK? I went into work on the Monday (luckily an inset so it didn't disturb the children's routine too much) to be told Monday evening that schools will be closed and we're going… Continue reading Happy New Year!
Just a random shelfie I've felt so poorly this week that I've barely done anything other than watch The Office (US) for the first time and binge watch BooksNest YouTube videos. Definitely recommend her videos! She has also made me order Animal Crossing. I did finish knitting one pair of socks right at the beginning… Continue reading Weekly Update
