My unplanned participation in this readathon has actually been quite close to a success. Two days did turn out to be a bit of a write off due to health but actually I am pretty proud of what I managed to achieve. This post is going to be a little different as I’m going to do a day by day breakdown of what I achieved! Continue reading “BoutofBooks 17.0 Wrap up”
So its almost time for me to start my second year with the OU, doing my final 60 credits for level1, and I am ready and pumped to start. Last year definitely showed me a lot of areas I need to work on in order to be successful this year, so I’m hopeful for an even better learning experience. Continue reading “Pre Year 2 with the OU”
Yet again, I have made the last minute decision to join in with a read-athon. I wasn’t sure whether to or not with this one, as don’t know until tomorrow whether or not I’m going to be working the later part of this week, plus I’m probably going away this weekend for a little break. But ha, I woke up today and decided, why not at least try during the beginning part of this week! Continue reading “Bout of Books 17 TBR”
A sequel to Alice in Wonderland, with dark themes; and secret magicians, giants and men that turn into wolves- what could be better? Continue reading “‘Alice’&’Red Queen’ by Christina Henry”
This could be a long one as I’ve actually been doing a lot of reading! YAYY! I even attempted my first readathon, although I did very badly at it. I read a total of 4 books, which I feel is pretty good as I didn’t really read for the first week in July, and then only managed to finish one book during the booktubeathon… Continue reading “July&Booktubeathon Wrap Up & August TBR”
Here I go again, I think I have the readathon bug!! I didn’t do very well at all, which I will talk about further in my wrap up later, but it has made me want to try another readthon. So as you do, I googled and found that the 7 in 7 readathon started yesterday, so ha why not jump in a day late… Continue reading “7 in 7 Readathon TBR”
This has been the hardest review for me to write. I just can not come up with the words to describe just how well written, developed and unique this novel was. So lets start by thanking the lovely Titan books for sending me this gorgeous book to read and review, thank you. Continue reading “This Savage Song- V.E Schwab”
Well this is a very last minute post as I have only just decided that I am going to attempt to participate in the BooktubeAThon 2016! I have never done a readathon, so this will be a brand new experience for me, but as its looking like I’m going to be off work again tomorrow, that give me plenty of time to read- with the exception of Friday and Sunday. I have formed this TBR following the reading challenge that have been set, however I do highly doubt I will get through them all….So the first challenge is ‘Read a book that has yellow on the cover’. For this I have chosen Terry Pratchett’s ‘Colour of Magic’, as nearly the whole cover is in fact yellow.
June was a highly successful reading month for me, reading a total of 6 books. I seem to of fallen into a YA fantasy mood lately so other than my first book, they were all in this genre- plus most of my July TBR is also. As I have said previously, I am not normally one for setting a TBR as I’m very much a mood reader, and like to choose what I read when it comes to it. But I have decided to set a flexible TBR in order to keep myself focused… Continue reading “June Reading Wrap up & July TBR”
FINALLY, the reading slump is over! MY little plan of reading children’s books appears to have worked and just in time- I have a stack of arcs to get through. I managed to complete four books during the month of May, admittedly, 3 were children’s books, but still.. Continue reading “May Reading Wrap up”
