Life update + Mini Review: ‘The Tea Dragon Society’, #1 by Kay O’Neill

What's going on in my life - reading and otherwise! Hi, hello, how are you? It's been a while... I know I've been really quiet on here recently with posting and blog-hopping - I've been working all January (and most of Dec) on my PhD applications so I've just been too exhausted to do much …

Update: Recent posts, blog hops and signposting anti-racism posts

Well, May seems to have evaporated and the May/June crossover has just blurred into a nightmarish landscape of surreal chaos...the latest being Rowling's disappointing comments (again) about trans people. (See the JKR debacle section below for some great posts about it.) Recent posts: A lot of 'The School for Good and Evil'-related content: my review …

Update: Current read, New ARCs, Upcoming Posts and Lizzy Bennet’s sass

Wow, how is it nearly mid-May already?! (And yet, the weather has decided to take a trip back to February.) Quite a lot has been happening for me lately so thought I'd share a blogger-y update! I also want to say how impressed I am with bloggers who can post daily. I've been blogging every …

Update: ‘What We Deserve’, new books, TBR and fanart

Update: ‘Carry On’ fanart, Starting ‘Chaos Walking’ and Discovering Overdrive

How has another week passed just like that?! Maybe the freakishly strong winds blew the days along... Hope everyone's safe from the storm!

Hello February: Star Wars candles, Heartstopper fanart, TBR and Upcoming Posts

This last week has been jam-packed for me - I submitted my first PhD application, finished a Star Wars readathon, received my 'A Galaxy Far, Far Away' candle box from Midnight Flame Candles (of which I'll be sharing an unboxing soon), took the first steps towards making Heartstopper fanart, and actually got around to producing …

Update: Current read, TBR and Upcoming Posts

I know I've been pretty MIA on the blogosphere lately - I've got a big deadline coming up on the 31st so I'm spending almost all my time on that. I've got another one on the 21st of Feb but hopefully after that, things'll clear up - and I'm super excited to then start my …

Current read, TBR and Upcoming Reviews

Hello everyone! Hope you've had a great start to December. My Monday was pretty good books-wise, I finished The Queen of Nothing (expect a review soon!), finished The Usborne Fairy Tale Treasury (mini-review below), and also hit up the library for a few great graphic novel finds! Current Read: Red, White & Royal Blue What …

Current Read, TBR and Upcoming Reviews

October was an incredibly slow reading month (I finished only one teeny - but great! - graphic novel - my review here), and November got off to a sluggish start. However, in the past two weeks I've managed to whistle through four books, which I'll review shortly! Check the list at the bottom for my …
