Monthly Round-up, linking everything that has happened in the last month, posted on the last day of said month. This Round-up August-December 2021. So since I last reviewed my blog, I have moved jobs closer to home. You would think that this would mean that I would have more time for reading and blogging, but in fact the opposite has happened. Instead I have read a lot but lost my enthusiasm for blogging. So even after the Christmas break I am still not caught up with my blog reviews. My plans are to catch up on the reviews that I should have done ages ago. Once that is done I can deal with new posts. So wish me luck! Currently reading: Reviews:   Blog Tours:   Challenges: As per usual I’m participating in the Goodreads Challenge.   So what do you think of my round-up August-December 2021? What have you read this month? Let me know in the comments below! Subscribe to Blog via Email Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by […]

So with Halloween only a week away, I thought that I’d be super organised and decide which 5 films I’ll be watching Halloween 2020. I am not one that goes in for gore and horror. I hate films that make me jump. So let me assure you that these will be family friendly. 1. Original Jumanji. There is something creepy about the 1994 film. Whether its because Peter’s transformation into a monkey is weird and he ends up looking more like a wolf. Or if it’s Van Pelt’s determination that the game shall not end. I’m not sure. But one thing is I am glad that I was not playing this game! 2. Hocus Pocus. What is Halloween without Witches? And these three are hell-bent on getting their revenge. But they have not quite anticipated how the world has changed in the last three hundred years and it leads to some hilarious results. 3. Casper. I love all the Casper films. So while I’m saying Casper I mean all okay. Probably Casper the Friendly Ghost is my favourite. But I […]

Today is my Birthday 🙂 So today I’m going to share five bookish things I will be getting up to for my Birthday. From food, drink and games, let me know if you have any more suggestions or if you will be trying anything out! 1. Have Cocktails, Literacy inspired. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I love a good cocktail. How about, One Flew Over the Cosmo’s Nest or Tequila Mockingbird or Are you There God? Its Margarita what ever your tipple I’ve got you covered with Tequila Mockingbird filled with some gorgeous cocktails to set you on track. 2. Read a Book I’m never far from a book and almost always have one one on the go. This year I’ve requesting some books I’ve been meaning to read for ages so hopefully I will wake up to that smell of new books. 3. Eat book themed cake! Whether you’re a cake fan or not everyone needs cake on their birthday. And there are so many that you can do. Whether is an open book, a character […]

Recently, I’ve noticed on my social media that a lot of people are being questioned over their review etiquette. Whether its for promoting their review, showing of a haul or even communicating with other bloggers. Some of the things that people have been told off for include, tagging a person in a five star review. Being tagged in a book haul. And even being told off for publishing a negative review (the person who the review was about was not tagged or anything). Yes, it is a balancing act. On the one hand you have to be honest and truthful, on the other you don’t want to cause offence. Although it seems more of the case the offence has been taken indirectly. So, I’ve decided to thrown my opinion into the ring and list my own review etiquette, let me know what you think! And if there is anything I can improve on. 1.  Only tag the person being reviewed in a positive review. This to me is only fair. You wouldn’t like waking up one morning to find that […]
