A New Year, a New Challenge: BOOK BUYING BAN!

Hi Everyone! Yeah, that's right. Somehow, I managed to go an entire year spending less than £100 on makeup for myself as a result of the lipstick ban due to a knock-on effect on the rest of my makeup. I did notice, however, that I acquired a Very Tall reading pile that I haven't touched…

Another Catch Up

Hi everyone! It's been a good month and a half since my last post. I made sure to take some time off after exams to chill then ended up diving into part-time work in a slightly drastic change to my routine that took some time to adjust to. I've managed to get a little bit…

Books of 2018, #3: A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

Hi everyone! I am slightly behind on my reading schedule of a book per month. A lot of the books I have are actually quite bulky or read slowly and with university studies and work, and the hectic week before Easter, March was almost completely devoid of reading. I'd been making my way through the…

My Current TBR Pile, as of March 2018

When I first sat down to write this I was thinking that this would end up being a very long post. This was because it seemed like my TBR pile had finally reached the heights of my G-Dragon poster. Then I realised that I could split the pile somewhat. I tend to leave my current…

Books of 2018 #2: Golden Son by Pierce Brown (and also getting to meet him!!)

Hi everyone! Last year, I was gifted Red Rising by my best friend, Tray, and really enjoyed it. However, I'm really bad with series and often never pick up the next book in the fear that it just won't be as good. This is often why I reach for standalone books instead. I heard that…

Books I’ve Started and Will (Eventually) Finish

Recently, I was putting all my TBR pile together to take photos and it was looking to be a very long post, but then I took the opportunity to split my pile up a little and it ended up like this. I currently am actively reading two books, so they aren't included here. The books…

Books of 2018, #1: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (The Illustrated Edition)

Neverwhere was probably my first Neil Gaiman book. Either that or The Graveyard Book. I read it years ago and I can't remember what I thought of Neverwhere only that there was a London Below and a Door and an Angel and that the book was Good and somewhere on my positive scales and that…

The March/April TBR

I quite like how I am doing these posts bimonthly, so I think I'll stick with this kind of schedule for the time being. However, the TBR pile has grown more than it has shrunk, and I still have so much to read!  I'm on a book ban at the moment because I don't really…

Reading Round-up: Jan/Feb 2017

So, this is my attempt to tackle this huge TBR pile from the start of the new year. Red Rising by Pierce Brown [Goodreads Progress Updates] About: A miner on Mars harvesting an all important material to allow for the planet to be colonised, discovers that it has already been colonised by people who view…

Under My Christmas Fairy Lights, because I was too lazy for a tree this year.

Christmas changes a lot as you grow older. When I was little I was definitely one of those kids who went through the Argos catalogue and pointed out what I liked. Then I noticed it was always what I wanted when I pointed it out to the parents, and then I became more aware of…
