Navigating Adulthood – One Obsessive Thought at a Time
I’ve really gotten into the swing of things when it comes to getting through my reading list. I’ve actually been trying to make an effort to get through a good chunk of my list before I invest in any more books, but it’s easier said than done. Having said that, I’ve managed to avoid buying… Continue reading June 2021 Reading Wrap Up
I still haven’t quite managed to top my record from February, but given the circumstances of that particular month, I’m not complaining. My birthday month meant I was given a rather lovely stack of books which added a fair bit to my TBR list, and combined with my compulsive spending habits, it appears that I… Continue reading May 2021 Reading Wrap Up
I can’t believe that as I’m writing this, we’re now into May. Where the hell has this year gone? I’m determined to keep smashing through my TBR list, and while I still haven’t quite beaten my record set in February, I still managed what averaged as a book a week, so I think that’s pretty… Continue reading April 2021 Reading Wrap Up
It’s time for another reading wrap up! Also, what the actual F? We’re now in April. I don’t get it.

The charity’s mission is to ensure that every child has a book of their own so they can discover the joys of reading, and it was an event I loved taking part in when I was at school.… Continue reading How Jacqueline Wilson Sparked My Love of Reading
One of the main things I found hugely beneficial for my mental health last year was reading. It was a chance to escape not only from the crap that was going on in the world, but also my own thoughts too. While listening to music and watching box sets was a great way to relax… Continue reading January 2021 Reading Wrap Up
Regular readers will know for the last few of these twice yearly posts, it’s been 6 Reads in 6 Months - however, with my anxiety taking a bit more of a front seat given the recent events, I’ve certainly been working my way through my bookcase a lot quicker than usual. So, I’ve renamed it… Continue reading 6 Monthly Reading Roundup: July to December 2020
As we enter June, it’s time for another 6 Reads in 6 Months post! It doesn’t feel like that long ago I was putting together my last one, but I guess the last few months have all merged anyway with everything going on. Since I rediscovered my love of reading last year, I’ve been determined… Continue reading 6 Reads in 6 Months: January to June 2020
I always remember World Book Day being one of my favourite events when I was at school. It appears to now be a much bigger event at schools here in the UK, with kids dressing up as their favourite characters and schools holding huge events and such, but back when I was a kid, I… Continue reading My Five Favourite Children’s Books | World Book Day 2020
