I just realised this evening that it's September. I mean, I knew it was September, but I realised that it was several days into the new month and I hadn't written up my recap on what I'd read for August. I can't believe we are now in the last quarter of the year! I thought … Continue reading A Month of Reading: August
My Reading Life
Thinking Out Loud: Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf. Up until last week, unread by me. Now I can say I've read her, but am I richer for the experience? I buddy read Mrs Dalloway with a friend, which was a good thing because I might not have persevered without the back and forth chat confirming that my reading experience of Mrs … Continue reading Thinking Out Loud: Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
A Month of Reading: April
It was a bit of a slow reading month for me throughout April. I only clocked seven books in total, six of which were five star reads though, so once again, quality is winning out over quantity. All seven were review books, so no progress on my 22 in 2022 and the classics shelf remains … Continue reading A Month of Reading: April
A Month of Reading: March
Is eight the new magic number for me? Eight books in February and now eight again for March. I made inroads with my 22 in 2022 challenge, ticking off another two books read for that. Still no classics... Total books read for March: 8 All eight books were five star reads. So the quantity may … Continue reading A Month of Reading: March
A Month of Reading: January
The first month of the year already gone. In some ways it's flown by, in others, it's felt like a year in itself. Reading wise, I'm off to a good start, because for the first time in at least a year and half, I have read 12 books for the month! That used to be … Continue reading A Month of Reading: January

A Year of Reading: 2021 in Review
I'm not doing a best of or favourite books list this year. I have read too many terrific and memorable books to be able to narrow it down so I'm just going to do my reading year in review using the Goodreads stats, partly because they look nice, but mostly because they have done all … Continue reading A Year of Reading: 2021 in Review
A Month of Reading: November
24 days until Christmas...ho, ho, ho! 🎄 Total books read for November: 6 Four of these were quite thick, so I'm claiming that combined with a busy schedule and extra work hours as my excuse for there only being six for the month! Until next month, which will be on the other side of Christmas! … Continue reading A Month of Reading: November
The Week That Was…
Delighted and honoured to have a cover quote on the newly re-released copy of The Truth and Addy Loest by Kim Kelly. The rest of the week was work, eat, read, sleep, repeat, with a splash of this thrown in yesterday while football trials were held at the coast. I did buy a full conference … Continue reading The Week That Was…
