General thoughts: I’ve combined days three and four together for this diary because if I’d have updated for day three it would have looked, well, like a blank post. Wednesday resulted in a grand total of zero pages read – but, I did have a wonderful day swimming around in the sea! Day four was definitely … More Day Three + Four (24 + 25/07/19) | The Reading Rush
General thoughts: So. I was adamant that I was going to be getting The Cruel Prince finished today, and inevitably that didn’t end up happening. In my defence, I had a long to-do list to get through and it proved more difficult to complete than I anticipated, so I only started reading at about 5pm! That being said, … More Day Two (23/07/19) | The Reading Rush
General thoughts: This year’s readathon began much like last year’s – successfully, but with the lingering sense that I don’t know how I’m going to top today’s page count from here on out. Still, I’m pleased with the progess that I’ve made! I decided to pick up The Cruel Prince by Holly Black as my first read – … More Day One (22/07/19) | The Reading Rush
Here we are again! Twelve months have passed in terrifyingly quick fashion, and suddenly The Reading Rush (previously the BookTubeAThon) is upon us again. This week is genuinely one of my favourite weeks of the entire year, and my Goodreads goal is in dire need of a boost, so it has come around at the … More My TBR | The Reading Rush 2019
I have been meaning to write this post for what has now become a *ridiculous* amount of time. So much so, that I’m combining three months of reading into one Reflection just so that I can finally move on to writing non-reflection posts that I’ve had in mind for ages but haven’t written due to … More Reflection: March, April & May 2019 | Also Known As… Trying to Catch Up
Back in January, I decided that 2019 would be the year in which I finally reach that elusive target of reading fifty books. Almost three months on, and I’m roughly on track, although I haven’t yet read anything that has absolutely blown me away. As expected, this term at uni has been hectic, which is … More Reflection: January & February 2019 | Uni Reading Takes Over
The new year is an exciting time. The Goodreads challenge slate gets wiped clean and the new books look at you from across the room just crying out to be read. As always, one of the best parts of January (let’s be honest, the best part, because it’s January) is looking back over all the … More Reflection: 2018 | 40 Books Later…
With the ever-present Goodreads goal looming – and me, as usual, being several books behind in it – I knew that December needed to be a big month of reading if I wanted to meet it. Luckily, I finished uni quite early, and after essays were done and submitted I could spend a lot of … More Reflection: December 2018 | The Most Books I’ve Read In A Month!
I was recently tagged by the lovely Ashleigh @ A Frolic Through Fiction to do the Jingle Bell Book Tag, which was created by Richard @ The Humpo Show. I was feeling as though my blog needed a little festive assistance, so this came at the perfect time! “All I want for Christmas is you…” … More The Jingle Bell Book Tag

The villagers depend on an ageless wizard, the Dragon, to protect them from the forest’s dark magic. However, his help comes at a … More Uprooted by Naomi Novik: A Review
