JournalMorning ritualLeave a Comment on Morning magic

Today I am feeling inspired to share my ‘still very new, working out all the kinks’ morning ritual. While experiencing the amazing benefits of dragging myself out of bed for an early morning walk every weekday for over a month, I have been researching what else I can do to start each day with a…

A view from a walk

JournalMorning ritualLeave a Comment on A view from a walk

It has been a few weeks and I can confidently say that I am enjoying the many benefits of getting up in the still pitch black to go for a walk with my hubby each (weekday) morning. Although it didn’t start out easy, it has definitely become something that I look forward to (although, maybe…

Rising to shine

JournalMorning ritual, WellbeingLeave a Comment on Rising to shine

Here is my disclaimer: I have always been a morning person in that I wake at 6am everyday (even on weekends). BUT that’s where that ends. I rise but there is no shining….I have a coffee….still no shining….I shower and feel like I could just curl up on the couch and do not very much…

Welcome bookish peeps!!

I’m Kyles – lover of books with a mile high tbr pile; coffee addict; creative spirit and newbie blogger.

This decidedly bookish blog stems from my passion for reading, journaling and photography. Here you’ll find bookish features, reviews and other bookish stuff; as well as insights into my personal life.

I’m looking forward to sharing what I love; inspiring bookish conversations and becoming part of the book blogging community.

Happy reading!!

My first #NetGalley ARC....F*ck No! by Sarah Knight ⭐⭐⭐⭐ . . With it's attention grabbing title; and being familiar with the author's previous works/style of writing; I was quick to download this ARC....always up for a quick, no nonsense, witty read. This book about setting boundaries and saying no is perfect for people pleasers and overachievers like me. . . #decemberreads #nonfiction #2019reads #recentreads #reading #reader #foreverareader #readersofinsta #fortheloveofbooks #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookobsessed #bookstagram #ilovebooks #booklove #bookishme #sarahknight #fuckno

Attempting to get through my tbr pile by the end of the year...making way for all the bookish Christmas presents and holiday purchases on their way...

I think I found a new 'must read' author...this is my first Lisa Jewell novel...and while the audio is a bit cringe...the actual story is captivating... . Anyone else a fan? . Any recommendations for my next Lisa Jewell read? . . #novemberreads #2019reads #currentread #currentlyreading #audiobook #epicreads #reading #reader #foreverareader #readersofinsta #fortheloveofbooks #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookobsessed #bookstagram #ilovebooks #booklove #bookishme #lisajewell
Currently reading Quiet by Susan Cain...I think this one might take a while to read but I'm finding it quite interesting...I have to be a bit more switched on to read nonfiction but my concentration levels are so low atm...new medication will do that... . . #nonfictionnovember #novemberreads #nonfiction #2019reads #currentread #currentlyreading #reading #reader #foreverareader #readersofinsta #fortheloveofbooks #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookobsessed #bookstagram #ilovebooks #booklove #bookishme
⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Mother's Promise by Sally Hepworth....a touching story of the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter....and the lengths a mother will go to to protect her child. Made even more emotional because I have a teenage daughter around the same age as Zoe. I really enjoyed this book...it was a compelling read with well defined characters and a interesting plot that covered a variety of issues - loneliness, fear, social anxiety, abuse, infertility, illness and death - in a sensitive way. I loved how all of the characters stories came together...even though it was obvious how they would intertwine before I was very far into the book. This is not my first Sally Hepworth novel and it definitely won't be my last... Are you a Sally Hepworth fan? #novembertbr #novemberreads #2019reads #tbr #recentreads #fiction #reading #reader #foreverareader #readersofinsta #fortheloveofbooks #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookobsessed #bookstagram #ilovebooks #booklove #bookishme
Adultery by Paulo Coelho has been sitting in my tbr for years...but this week I decided to get it read. Unfortunately I didn't love it...I know Paulo Coelho has an almost cult following but this is the second book of his I have read and not enjoyed. It was a quick read...and to some extent unputdownable...like looking at a car crash...you know you shouldn't, you don't want to but you feel compelled to anyway. That's how it felt...I wanted to stop reading, I wasn't enjoying it but I had to know what happened. And now I know, I'll be donating this book back to the thrift shop. ⭐⭐ . . #novembertbr #novemberreads #2019reads #tbr #recentreads #reading #reader #foreverareader #readersofinsta #fortheloveofbooks #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookobsessed #bookstagram #ilovebooks #booklove #bookishme
