HAHAHAHA… this is a joke right? No? Oh, well in that case, ALL OF THEM. There, that was easy. Not good enough? Man, there are so many. Let’s see if I can pick a few at random.

This is a fun one. I actually have something for this, because I’ve found a few word-of-the-day memes recently that have actually taught me some new words. Here are some favourites: Morgenmuffel – someone who doesn’t like waking up in the morning and as a result is extremely grumpy (German) Spuddle – “to be

This is always a tricky post for me, because I don’t see reading as something that I need to set goals for. I do it because I love learning, I love stepping out of my own mind for a while, I love learning about other lives and cultures, and I love the chance to

If I’m honest, I don’t really have much interest in celebrity culture. I kind of figure most celebrities either won’t live up to the idea you have of them in your mind, or won’t be half as interesting as they seem. So there are some I enjoy watching, some whose talent I admire, some

If I’m honest, I haven’t got any idea about books coming out this year. So I’ve had to do some quick and dirty Googling to find some for this week’s prompt! Here’s what I came up with. No date announced yet: February March

So last time I wrote one of these posts I bemoaned the fact that it had been nearly a month. HA. It’s been more than two. So I should officially stop pretending to be surprised by these gaps in my reading and just get on with it. I always have a couple of down

Well I guess we made it through another year – welcome to 2024, and happy new year if it means anything to you! We’re back with the first topic of the year – hobbies I used to enjoy. This could very well be quite a long post if I’m not selective – as you

I’ve had a pretty darn good reading year this year. I’ve got lots of new favourites, but interestingly they’ve mostly been non-fiction. A good chunk were memoirs – ones about interactions with nature, others about special interests, others about mental health or neurodiversity, and some were about more than one of these. But each

I’m going to follow my lead last week and include audiobooks here, because I don’t buy that many physical books these days! Some of these I got with credits, others were included as part of my Audible subscription. But they’re ones I’ve added to my library recently and am looking forward to reading!

This is always a hard one for me, because how am I supposed to narrow it down to just ten books???? I mean, really. It’s like whoever came up with this idea doesn’t know any readers. I’ll do my best, but I’m not making any promises! To make it a little easier, I’m going

Well, I have a lot. My TBR is basically… my whole house and most of my virtual space. I have not a chance of getting through even a fraction of my TBR, but on the plus side there’s a lot to choose from when I’m choosing what to read! There are some of the

I never used to really do that much, but I have to admit I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Christmas. I’m not religious, so that wasn’t it, but I do like the sort of cosy feel of it. It’s partly the time of year, it’s partly the twinkle

Today I decided to share some of the books I’ve read or want to read on the topic of nature. This is being used very, very broadly, as I’m pretty much using it to denote any wholesome activity that takes place outside or involves interfacing with a part of the natural world (like The

Okay, so I’ve been looking for days and it’s not going well. I’ve stopped spending much time looking at memes that would apply to TV shows in favour of funny posts about the reality of raising tiny humans, having mental health issues (only somewhat related), hitting middle age and being neurodivergent. It’s where I’m

Apparently it’s Thanksgiving in the US this week (a holiday I do not keep track of nor put much stock in, but that’s another discussion). This year’s topic is one I can certainly get behind, however – reasons to be thankful for books. Well, *cracks knuckles* let’s get started, shall we? They let me

Just a quick question. What does this mean? Does it want me to comment on how I feel about seeing my favourite things criticized (generally I’d say my reaction is on a spectrum of “okay that’s a good point,” to “don’t really care,” to vaguely annoyed, depending on the thing and the critique)? Does

Oh man. What a difficult post – to complete this we have to each look in the mirror, and confront our own failings. Not only that, but we must confront our very mortality. As upsetting as the thought may be, we will each die with books left unread, and I can guarantee that at
