This is always an exciting post – it’s great to look forward over the next six months and find out which new releases are just around the corner! I discovered a few I had no idea were coming out so soon (or at all) and I am now extremely impatient! So without any further READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | THINGS I MISUNDERSTOOD AS A KID
I don’t have a single proper example for this – I have a lot of very vivid memories from my childhood, but they are completely random. I don’t remember any major misunderstandings that I was then shocked to find out the truth about. But I do suspect that I tended to misunderstand a lot. READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS ON MY SUMMER 2024 TBR
Yet another of the endless opportunities to make a TBR that I have like 0.1% chance of reading a single book from! But hey, that’s part of the fun right? The anticipation? Let’s see what I’m most anticipatory about today! READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I haven’t finished any books this week, but I didn’t do a post last week so I do have one from last week to include! I’m still working on a few books, not sure which will actually get finished. My garden is starting to grow, though, so I think the lack of reading time READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | CHARACTERS I SEE DIFFERENTLY NOW THAN I USED TO
This is a really interesting question. It’s hard, because I don’t think there have been that many in the books I’ve re-read in the past few years, mostly I have the same view on the characters as I always have. I think the only shift I have noticed is which characters I identify with. READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKISH WISHES
There are always so many books I want, that this kind of post is laughably easy. These days I’m trying not to buy many books – no more than one a month in physical format. But there are always some I’d love to have, and others I’d be fine with in any format. These READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKS THAT ARE TEARJERKERS
This is not a very difficult prompt, because I have read some books in the past few years that hit my tear glands hard. Three of them are non-fiction, but there’s one lone novel in the mix as well: I feel like most of you have READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I HAD VERY STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT
Oh, well this is going to be interesting. I am a very emotional reader. I have a hard time reading books that don’t have a strong emotional component. I’m going to look through and try to pick the ones I remember being some of the strongest, so we’ll see what I come up with! READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I finally have that feeling back. You know the one, when you’re reading a book and it takes over a part of your brain such that when you’re not reading, part of you remains in the world of it, with its characters, and anxious to return to the story. It’s a relief when this READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES I’VE VISITED
I’m not a huge art gallery and museum person, so most of the ones I’ve visited I’ve either been dragged to by my parents or I’ve visited because of a particular artist, or I like the building. The best building I’ve been to is the British Museum – I love the curved glass roof READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I WAS SUPER EXCITED TO GET MY HANDS ON… BUT STILL HAVEN’T READ
This is a dangerous post for us bookworms. I’m sure every single one of you reading this is having a mild panic attack because a) you know you have waaaaaaaaay too many responses to this, and b) you do not want to admit to the whole world just how long that list is. But READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Well, I did finish a book last week, but I’m back to only a little bit of reading this week. But I’ve had a great week of gardening, watching things grow, seeing new seeds sprout and enjoying the bees busily collecting nectar from our rhododendrons and the kale I let flower so they’d have READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | HOW I FEEL ABOUT STAYCATIONS
How do I feel about staycations? I freaking love them. I hate packing. I have never loved traveling since becoming an adult and no longer being able to curl myself into an airplane chair. Now I have a back injury, anxiety and allergic asthma that is triggered by everything from strong cologne and perfume READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | AUTHORS I’D LOVE A NEW BOOK FROM
There are so many authors whose books have given me a gift that only that one book could give me. That gift is a new perspective, a new experience, a new turn of phrase, a good laugh – sometimes all of those things. Those books leave me wanting more of that experience, so inevitably READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I’ve been spending most of my free time out in the garden, digging, pulling weeds, planting seeds, loosening packed earth, potting on seedlings, watering, chatting to the neighbours over the fence and watching fuzzy bee bums as they explore the few flowers that are in bloom. It’s a magical time of year, and the READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | FAVOURITE BOOK QUOTES
I’m doing an odd mix of quotes on a couple of topics this week. No rhyme or reason, no real point, just a meander through some that I liked or that I felt I could connect to. So here they are, in no particular order: Book quotes “My alma mater was books, a READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
What a surprise, I didn’t read any books this week either! The busy times continue as we had birthdays, mother’s day, and lots more to do in the garden! I snuck in a little more of one of my audiobooks, but that was really it. I have been watching old episodes of Who Do READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKS, MOVIES & TV SHOWS I WOULDN’T REVISIT (& WHY)
This is an interesting one. Normally I think about which shows I would like to watch again, but rarely do I think about which I wouldn’t. So this one has taken some thought and I’ve only come up with one so far. The Walking Dead. I enjoyed the characters in this, I was READ MORE
