Hello!!

Huzzah, and welcome to my own little corner of the internet! This first post, and indeed this whole blog, is a project which has been a long time in the making. I was first introduced to this wonderful thing called ‘the blogosphere’ a few years ago, and haven’t looked back since. The awesome, quirky, quotable,…

TV Christmas Films 2020 – Preview Thoughts

So... I've been a tad MIA when it comes to publishing posts focused on Hallmark here lately; while COVID does shoulder some of the blame, I've also been feeling a bit of derth of excitement and inspiration in this space. THANKFULLY, however, the wonder and magic of Christmas has come to the rescue, and there…

Top 10 Tuesday – Books I Love But Have Yet to Review

While finding the content for this week's topic was a bit of a last-minute job, I'm pretty happy with the collection I've compiled below of books I have found great enjoyment reading, but have not as yet produced any officially reviews for on this blog. Hosted as always by That Artsy Reader Girl, I hope…

Top 10 Tuesday – Big Screen Stories

For this week's Freebie theme as set by That Artsy Reader Girl, I've decided to tackle a topic previously used for this tag in May of last year, Books I Loved That Need to Become Movies. A fun idea I've thought about often, there are MANY stories I've encountered over my bookworm life just begging…

Top 10 Tuesday – Books That Bring Joy

The theme set by That Artsy Reader Girl this week 'Books That Make Me Smile (For any reason! Maybe tell us why? Submitted by Julia @ pagesforthoughts)' feels like a perfect choice as a heavy rain-front has just started coming through where I live, and what better thing to do while listening to it than ruminate on…

Top 10 Tuesday – Most Read Authors

When it came to filling out this week's Top 10 Tuesday topic by That Artsy Reader Girl, 'Authors I’ve Read the Most Books By', I had a pretty decent back-catalogue of beloved writers I could choose from. I did manage to keep myself down to a respectable 10 however, haha, & also listed some of…

It's a little hard to believe we've reached the middle of this crazy, upside down year, but here we are, with yet another slate of brilliant books to highlight and discuss that we are looking forward to in the second half. For this next instalment in That Artsy Reader Girl's Most Anticipated series, I decided…

L. M. Montgomery’s Anne Series: Mini-Reviews

Arguably L. M. Montgomery's most famous character, Anne Shirley-Blythe is not featured solely in the book Anne of Green Gables (which many people seem to think is a one and done story), but also the next 7 books after it. In an effort to shine a bit more light onto these unfairly overlooked gems that…

Top 10 Tuesday – Literary OTPs

Top Ten Tuesday Turns 10! With 2 options given by That Artsy Reader Girl for this milestone week, I've elected to go with the second one, 'Pick a past TTT topic you wish you’d done, but didn’t get a chance to do', and chose 'Favourite Couples in Books' from the extensive back-catalogue. As evidenced by…

Top 10 Tuesday – Want-To-Read Hidden Treasures

I've decided to tweak That Artsy Reader Girl's chosen Top 10 Tuesday topic this week, Books I’ve Added to my TBR and Forgotten Why (stolen from Louise @ Foxes & Fairy Tales), by taking off the why and replacing TBR with Want-To-Read. Keeping a record of my WTR books through Goodreads, the number at the…
