January – March 2021 ~ TBR

After reading mostly festive books in December I'm excited to jump back into some more varied reading and cracking on with some shiny new reading challenges. Let me know if you've signed up to any in the comments. Some of the books below are library reservations, unfortunately where I live is currently under England's tier…

December 2020 TBR

Usually I do quarterly TBR posts but for December I wanted to do something a bit more festive themed. This might look like quite a long list but quite a few of these are really short or  anthologies that I'll work my way through across the month. What's a bit different this month is that…

October/November 2020 TBR

Usually I do a TBR post for the next three months but I've decided to do December separately because Christmas. I've been really looking forward to this part of the year; for me its all about cosy blankets and lots of tea!Throughout October I'm trying what I'm calling 'One at a Time October' where I…

Magical Readathon ~ NEWTs 2020 TBR

Throughout August the 2020 Magical Readathon is continuing with the NEWTs, G has already said this will be the last round of the NEWTs with plans for the readathon to move away from its Harry Potter theme going forward. If you want anymore info on the readathon or the prompts you can see the video…

Galleyathon Round Two TBR

Galleyathon is back for a second round, running from 10th - 16th August the main aim is to get ARCs off your Netgalley shelf and onto your Goodreads read shelf. I really enjoyed the first round back in June so was excited to see it brought back so soon. The main prompts are the same…

April – June 2020 ~ TBR

The Magical Readathon is happening throughout April and I have a separate post of the books I'll be reading for that here so I guess the list below is more for May/June. The Switch* ~ I mentioned this in my Most Anticipated Books of 2020 post so did a little happy dance when my Netgalley…

Magical Readathon 2020 OWLs ~ TBR

The Magical Readathon is a Harry Potter themed readthon that takes place in two parts, just like Hogwarts students you'll take OWLs and NEWTs relevant to your career ambition for when you leave school; OWLs run in April and NEWTs usually in August.  I saw a lot of videos/posts about people taking part in this…

January – March 2020 ~ TBR

Going back to Quarterly TBR's for the start of 2020, I find these put a bit less pressure on than doing them monthly; I've been through my Goodreads TBR shelf and removed some books which I no longer feel excited about reading. Winter ~ My aim is to get through the rest of Ali Smith's…

First Line Friday ~ 13th December

First line Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Wandering Words. The premise is all around judging a book by its first sentence rather than its cover.  Simply choose a book from your TBR or one you're currently reading and copy the first line(s), just enough to try and hook the reader, then reveal the…

December 2019 ~ TBR

Happy (nearly) December! I'm throwing in a single month TBR for December, mainly to get in those slightly festive reads but also to set myself up for the new year.  I'm planning some extra posts this month and shocker, not all of them are book related! Twas The NightShift Before Christmas ~ Adam Kay's festive…
