Monthly Round-Up! May 2020

Monthly Round-up, linking everything that has happened in the last month, posted on the last day of said month. This Round-up May 2020. May was the second month of being furloughed and it still is really strange to not get up and go to work. I honestly cannot wait until I can back to my old routine. The good news is that it has given me loads of time to sort out my blog and do all the admin that I have been putting off for months, if not years. Hopefully you can all see the changes? Another thing I’ve been doing is putting my reviews up on Goodreads, which I had not realised that I was so far behind on. So much so that this happened. Yep, for a brief while I was #2 top reviewers and #7 top reader in the UK! Has anything great happened to you blogging or book wise?       Currently reading: Reviews:   Blog Tours:   Bookish Gossip:   Pastime Pleasures:   Challenges: As per usual I’m participating in the Goodreads Challenge.   […]
