My Bookish & Reading Goals For 2024

January 23, 2024

Welcome to my first post of 2024! It’s a sunny January morning while I’m writing this entry. Everything outside is frozen and wet, the air cold with strong winds, and my red scarf flies all around me whenever I go outside to get some January sun on me. I love this weather, those rare windows … More My Bookish & Reading Goals For 2024

My favourite 23 books of 2023

December 29, 2023

This year, I read 84 books, my original goal was 85, but I didn’t make it to the finish line. Goodreads says that I’ve read 29,055 pages, so yay! My average book length was 345 pages, with A Court of Wings and Ruin being my longest book, with 703 pages.  … More My favourite 23 books of 2023

September 2023 book wrap up

October 1, 2023

It’s incredible to think that September is already over. I’m currently in Spain, visiting my family for a while and staying at my parents’ house. I’ve gone from the gloomy and rainy cold weather in England to the hot and sunny Spain. If you’ve been on this blog before, then you’ll know I prefer the … More September 2023 book wrap up

August 2023 book wrap up

August 31, 2023

I’m celebrating in my head because we’re so close to autumn. I can already feel it; the air is getting colder, some leaves are turning, and I’m starting to see Halloween products in some shops. But with the summer ending, one of my favourite shows ended too. Nancy Drew ended too soon, leaving me sad … More August 2023 book wrap up

July 2023 book wrap up

July 30, 2023

July has been my most productive reading month this year so far, I read nine books, and I think it’s primarily thanks to the weather. While most of the world was going through record-breaking heatwaves, in England, we’ve had 31 days of non-stop rain and cold wind. With this autumnal atmosphere, I’ve spent most of … More July 2023 book wrap up

Bookish diary: Using a street library

July 23, 2023

Last October, I moved out of the city centre where I had lived for the past four years and settled 25 mins away in the “people in their 30s town”. Besides it being full of local shops and following the three-bakeries-per-street rule, this small town seems to be a place made for book lovers. There … More Bookish diary: Using a street library

A bookish mid-year review

June 30, 2023

It’s the end of June, which means we’ve gone through half of this year already. Time is going by so fast. January feels like years ago, although, so does May. The summer months are here, and I’m trying to remember what I did during winter and spring, but it’s all a blur. As a bookish … More A bookish mid-year review

April 2023 book wrap up

April 30, 2023

April has gone by shockingly fast. I read 6 and a half books, the half being The Climate Book by Greta Thunberg, which I’m still tackling, I’m learning a lot, but it’s also so depressing I have to take a break after every few essays. … More April 2023 book wrap up

My Spring Moodboard, Bucket List And Books

March 19, 2023

When I was planning my spring moodboard, two books came to mind, both by Rachel Griffin. Her books always explore magic with nature, creating worlds where witches are tied to the natural elements. … More My Spring Moodboard, Bucket List And Books
