Time to look at the books I added to my shelves this week with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews! Not necessarily books I bought – also includes books I borrowed, was given or otherwise ended up with. Weeks where I don’t buy books I’ll scramble around my shelves and find some books READ MORE

LINK-UP | A to Z 2014 READING CHALLENGE HOSTED BY SOCK POPPET AT PLAY
I like the randomness of this challenge. For every letter of the alphabet, a different book element has been picked, and it’s a pretty eclectic mix. Here’s the list: A is for April (the month in which you read the book) – The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow by Rita Leganski B is for Bathing READ MORE

LINK-UP | READING BINGO – YA AND ORIGINAL – HOSTED BY RETREAT BY RANDOM HOUSE
I am super excited about this challenge! The idea is to get a row, all the outside squares – or the entire card! I’m not clear on whether you can use the same book for more than one square, so I’m going to try to do a different book for each one. But I READ MORE

LINK-UP | BOUT OF BOOKS READ-A-THON
I just came across this awesome idea while perusing Books of Amber’s blog post. I hadn’t heard of this particular Read-A-Thon before, but I think it’s a really fun idea!

BOOKISH SURVEY | CAST AN HP SPELL – PART 2
Here’s Part 2 of the HP Spell Survey created and hosted by Flip That Page. In case you missed Part 1, here’s what it’s all about, in the words of its creator (aka Jasmine): “So how does it work? Basically, it’s a survey of sorts, where I give you a certain spell from the READ MORE
LINK-UP | 2014 READING CHALLENGES
I’m pretty sure every single reader out there has this problem: A huge stack (or stacks, in my case) of books we keep meaning to read, but don’t. Usually because a shiny new book distracts us. Yes, booklovers are basically magpies. So Bookish Blog is hosting a 2014 reading challenge to encourage us to READ MORE

I’m hopping on the 2013 End of Year Book Survey train with Jamie from The Perpetual Page-Turner! I gotta admit, I’m pretty excited about this one. It’s a chance for me to look back through the year and think about the best of the best. I love book surveys, and this one is a good READ MORE

LINK-UP | STACKING THE SHELVES #1
Time to look at the books I added to my shelves this week with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews! This week I got a fair few new books – partly books I’ve put off picking up from the bookstore over the holidays and partly because… well, it’s Christmas week! Here are the READ MORE
BOOKISH SURVEY | CAST AN HP SPELL – PART1
I came across this bookish survey on Flip That Page and it totally appealed to me – partly because I just love surveys, and partly because… well, Harry Potter. Because there’s no way I can explain it better than the creator of the meme, here’s what Jasmine had to say about it: “So how does READ MORE

TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS ON MY WINTER TBR LIST
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is a seasonal one – the 10 books on my winter TBR list! I’m not entirely sure what this means. Does it mean books that are cosy for warding off a winter chill? Books about winter? Christmas books? I’m not really sure, but I’ve READ MORE
