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,…

Top 10 Tuesday – 2020 New-to-Me Authors

After taking a break from Top 10 Tuesday last week, this week's topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, New-to-Me Authors I Read in 2020, is one I was supremely excited to get into and resulted in what was a very fun list to put together! Thanks to my first foray into the wonder that is Kindle…

Most Anticipated Book Releases for the First Half of 2021

Much like last year, there is again a MASSIVE amount of brilliant books set to release in the first six months of 2021, and I am HERE FOR IT!! In fact, there are so many this year, the number on this list is up to 25!! So, without further ado, let's get to it :)…

Top 10 Tuesday – My Year in Books (2020)

Another year is almost in the books! That being the case, this last That Artsy Reader Girl given Top 10 Tuesday post for 2020 will be focused on, (what else!), a list of my Favourite Books of 2020!! So, while I ended up purchasing pretty much all of the physical books listed in my Most…

Top 10 Tuesday Topics – The Joys of Re-Reading

To kick off the month of Christmas, this Top 10 Tuesday post will be fashioned around the theme of re-reading, an activity I am very fond of, and take part in frequently.

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

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…
