Revamped

January 22, 2023January 29, 2023 ~ Kyles ~ Leave a comment

Hello readers!! Welcome to my revamped blog. Its taken me two whole weeks and every spare minute to redesign 'Bookish Me', making it a little more like the present me. With a completely new look - all girly and floral in my favourite colour - purple - I'm excited to begin blogging regularly again. For … Continue reading Revamped

So it’s been a while…

January 10, 2023January 22, 2023 ~ Kyles ~ 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 ~ 2 Comments

THAT IS THE QUESTION! The question that keeps me up at night.........whether or not I should write book reviews on my blog. I mean, who am I anyway? Is there anyone who even cares what I've got to say about a book beyond my star rating? Do people even read book reviews any more or … Continue reading To Review or Not to Review

That book stash

April 10, 2019January 22, 2023 ~ Kyles ~ Leave a comment

Hello, my name is Kyles and I am...... was.... a book hoarder. I love the feel and the smell of books. 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 ~ Leave a 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

It's been such a long time and I'm ready for a new beginning and a new look.
Ended 2020 with this ⭐⭐⭐⭐ read - The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters by Balli Kaur Jaswal, author of Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows.
Finally picked up a book...or two. Grabbed these 2 while second-hand book shopping with hubby....can't wait to start reading again.
Cats make the best reading companions. Sarabi supporting as I get back into the habit of reading after too long of a break....I think she just likes it when I sit still.
Currently reading The Rearranged Life of Oona Lockhart by Margarita Montimore...started this book a while ago - read 1 chapter, got sidetracked by my Kindle app, read 3 other books - but now I'm determined to read and enjoy this book. 🤞
Currently reading Happy & You Know It by Laura Hankin.....currently singing If you're happy and you know it clap your hands....can't look at this cover without breaking into song...
I may or may not have been book shopping....
Throwing back to one of my favourite reads of 2019....Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.....so many mixed opinions about this novel within the bookish community but I loved it...definitely lived up to the hype for me.
Cats make the best reading companions....
