So it’s been a while…

January 10, 2023January 22, 2023 ~ Kyles - Bookish Me ~ Leave a comment

And it kind of feels like a do-over in that it's been over two years since I have created a blogpost. I have still been reading, albeit sporadically, but I haven't had either the time or the motivation to share my bookish thoughts. Life has been crazy busy and everything has been changing. My children … Continue reading So it’s been a while…

To Review or Not to Review

March 13, 2020January 22, 2023 ~ Kyles - Bookish Me ~ 2 Comments

I love to line them up on shelves around the house; arranging and rearranging them according to colour. I love to be surrounded by the written word. I love to go to bookshops and … Continue reading That book stash

Oh to read…again

January 16, 2019January 22, 2023 ~ Kyles - Bookish Me ~ 1 Comment

Oh how I have missed reading….reading for enjoyment (not study); reading for knowledge (of the non-work related kind) and reading as self-care….time spent sitting with a book completely engrossed in a story, coffee in hand and the rest of the world switched off. Reading is, and always has been my favourite form of self-care...even as … Continue reading Oh to read…again

I’m Kyles – lover of books, mother to humans and furbabies; educator; coffee addict; introverted; insomniac – sharing the books I love and inspiring bookish conversations.
