Not lots of reading happening this week. With the working year coming to an end, reports sent out and Christmas crafts a-plenty; there have been many early nights. I'm excited though that I managed to finish one book that I have been plugging away at for weeks. Books read: Quiet by Susan Cain ★★★ - … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 15/12/2019

Hope you've had an amazing first week of December. I've been busy with lots of Christmas shopping by day …and plenty of reading by night. Books read: The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell ★★★★★- This book was brilliantly written and definitely one of my faves for the year. F*ck No! by Sarah Knight ★★★★- This … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 8/12/2019

It's December!!!! But first lets wrap up the last week of November. Books read: The Girls by Lisa Jewell ★★★★ - oh this book was so good and the perfect escape from the every day stuff. The Probable Future by Alice Hoffman ★★★★ - History, magic, family dynamics and a little romance....what more could a … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 1/12/2019

Better late than never....this week has been a bit of a jumble with too many books in various stages of being read. I finished 1 book and started quite a few more. Books read: The Mother's Promise by Sally Hepworth ★★★★ - A touching story of a mother's love for her daughter and the lengths … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 24/11/2019

It's been a few too many weeks since my last Weekly bookish wrap up; while I've been focusing on self-care and trying not to place any pressure on myself to create content. I've spent hours reading...and plenty of time scrolling on Bookstagram and Pinterest ….dreaming and admiring other people's gorgeous accounts/pics. I even spent a … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 17/11/2019

In honour of my blogiversary last week, I've spent more than a few hours giving the blog a little minimalist makeover...nothing too drastic...(I wish I knew how to make a nice header but I don't think this template lets me do that)...but that has meant less reading. This week has definitely been about quality not … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 27/10/2019

Happy Sunday peeps!! I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. I'm sitting in my partially organised reading room....books spread all over the floor (still waiting for my bookshelves to arrive); the essential oil diffuser going with the gorgeous scent of Lemongrass, Juniper Berry and Cedarwood and a hot caramel latte in hand as I … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 13/10/2019

This week's wrap up is a bit late because..... it's the long weekend...Yay!!...so even though today is Monday, it still feels like the weekend....and I'm not ready to wrap it up just yet. My hubby is making homemade pizzas and the smell is amazing; the whole house is opened up for the warmer weather that … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 6/10/2019

Books read: The Overdue Life of Amy Byler by Kelly Harms ★★★ - I can't say I loved it and maybe the cringy narration was partly to blame. I actually ended up switching to reading on my Kindle app; the narration was so annoying. I thought the book was a bit of a nothing book...no … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 29/9/2019

My week has been pretty amazing....busy but amazing. I'm feeling a bit better anxiety-wise and I think it's partly due to being able to find time to read. I finished 3 books and started one other. I'm also reading a non-fiction The Mind-Gut Connection by Emeran Mayer, MD on and off...taking it slow to take … Continue reading Weekly bookish wrap up: 22/9/2019
