August reading felt like a struggle after the excitement of completing my Goodreads Reading Challenge last month; with only 5 books read – 2 ‘physical in my hand books’, 1 book on my Kindle and 2 audiobooks. But I am hoping September will see me get back in the swing of reading for Spring. I’m excited for the warmer weather and being able to take … Continue reading August Reads 2019
With the end of July comes the completion of my Goodreads Reading Challenge for 2019….yay!!! I am so excited to have read over 50 books so far this year and I’m looking forward to reading so many more. July saw me read 10 books – 6 physical ‘hold in my hand’ books, 2 books on my Kindle app and 2 audiobooks: Mrs Everything by Jennifer … Continue reading July Reads 2019
June has been a massive month of reading, writing, bookstagramming and blogging….I have been making lots of bookish friends and have even joined my first buddy read. I am pretty pleased to say that I have read 43/50 books on my Goodreads 2019 challenge and am wondering if I should have challenged myself to read slightly more. I had no idea when I started reading … Continue reading June Reads 2019
Wow! That month went fast! And just like that, it’s already time for my May wrap up and reading challenge update. I feel like I’ve had a really slow month reading wise. I’ve struggled, particularly at the beginning of May, to find the inspiration and motivation to really devote myself to reading. I started the month with a book that had so much promise but … Continue reading May Reads 2019
April has seen me reach the halfway mark of my 50 book reading challenge (YAY!!) with some truly amazing reads and a couple of so-so ones. At the very top of my list Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Hard not to fall for Daisy, broken, beautiful and self-destructive; aching to be heard, to be loved. Daisy Jones & the Six is … Continue reading April Reads 2019
It’s already that time…the months are flying by and now it’s time to share my favourite books for March. But first I need to say I think I should have made my reading challenge a bit harder for myself. Since getting back into reading, I am devouring books at such a rate….I have truly found my ‘reading self’ again and it feels AMAZING! With 19/30 … Continue reading March Reads 2019
And just like that February is over and it’s time to share my favourite reads again. This month I branched out a little, signed up for Audible and downloaded my first audiobook. Not really sure how I would feel about being read to, or not being able to hold the physical book – smell the new pages as I turn them, feel the spine soften … Continue reading February Reads 2019
You may (or may not) remember that at the beginning of the year I issued myself a challenge to read at least (but hopefully more than) 30 books in 2019; hoping to rekindle a long lost past-time that I truly cherished. In case you missed it, you can find the reading challenge blog post here: https://lifeiswhatyoucreateit.com/2019/01/16/oh-to-read/ Now, as January comes to an end, I am … Continue reading January Reads 2019
