Let’s see if we can get rid of more books, shall we? Most of these have been, for a while, from August 2013, which seems like an exceptionally long time ago now. That was not a good month for me, so maybe I sought comfort by scrolling through Goodreads and pretending I actually had timeContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #28”

Book Review: Christmas with Hamish by Sophie Penhaligon
Format: DigitalRelease Date: October 27th, 2021 Rating: 3/5 Stars This one was okay, sitting firmly in ‘middling’ for books for me. It’s another of my 2021 festive reads, and I picked this up almost immediately after Humbug (which I loved), which was always going to be a tough act to follow! Verity’s sister is aContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Christmas with Hamish by Sophie Penhaligon”
That Dreaded TBR #27
Yep, another one. 5 more books, let’s see how well I do this time at getting rid of some on my Want to Read. I don’t think I’m doing too bad at the moment – the first book for today is number 66, but with 26 lots of 5 I’ve actually gone through 130 books!ContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #27”

And do we have some exciting things coming up in the next few months! So I thought I’d just take a moment to talk about that and of course withContinueContinue reading “Coming Up on Divination Hollow”
Topic: Top Rated Classics
‘Classics’ are a very tricky topic of conversation, partly because some people seem to feel so passionately towards them! For me, I don’t think anyone HAS to read any so-called ‘Classics’ book, and it’s worth acknowledging sometimes what we define as a ‘Classic’ is non-inclusive. Still, before I got really into reviewing, I did manageContinueContinue reading “Topic: Top Rated Classics”
That Dreaded TBR #26
More of this today, while I’m also working on getting more reviews up for you all and finishing off reviews from books I read in 2020. One thing I’m hoping to do this year is make a start on some of the oldest books on my Want to Read that I’ve kept on, so fingersContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #26”
Book Review: Humbug by Amanda Radley
Publisher: Bold Strokes BooksFormat: DigitalRelease Date: December 8th, 2021 Rating: 5/5 Stars I loved this book, and it’s probably my favourite of my 2021 festive reads. And not just because the main character shares my name! In all fairness, the publisher Bold Stroke Books are putting out some excellent work, and as much as aContinueContinue reading “Book Review: Humbug by Amanda Radley”
