It’s time for another reading wrap up! Also, what the actual F? We’re now in April. I don’t get it. Anyway, as you’ll probably see from this month’s wrap up, I didn’t read quite as many books as I managed to in February, which I’m hoping is in part due to the fact my IBS… Continue reading March 2021 Reading Wrap Up
I thought January was a busy month reading wise - how wrong I was.

So, I’ve renamed it… Continue reading 6 Monthly Reading Roundup: July to December 2020

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
I really enjoyed looking back at my reads earlier this year, so I’ve decided to make it a thing. Therefore, I give you 6 Reads in 6 Months Part 2!

Last year, I really got back into reading. I’m not entirely sure what stopped me in the first place, but I soon discovered that it was a great outlet for my anxiety.
