Is there anyone out there in bookland who hasn’t heard of this book? It feels like it has been taking the reading world by storm over the past year, and being discussed by… well, pretty much everyone.

TOP TEN TUESDAY | TEN MOST RECENT ADDITIONS TO MY SHELVES
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! READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I’D LOVE FOR XMAS
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 READ MORE
BEYOND THE BOOKS | NEURODIVERGENCE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY WINTER HOLIDAY TRADITIONS
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 READ MORE
THE SUNDAY REVIEW | THE DIARY OF A BOOKSELLER – SHAUN BYTHELL
I mean, let’s face it, if you’re on this blog reading this review, this book is going to be your cup of tea. It’s really that simple. After all, which one of us hasn’t dreamed about what it would be like to be a bookseller? To be surrounded by books all day, every day? READ MORE
