• My December 2024 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: elated. December has been a month of travels, family, and fun reading. While there have been PhD tasks addressed and planned this month, it has largely been a month to sit back and read for leisure. I have been dutifully preparing my library requests for an upcoming event (more on that soon) and…

• Summer Reading: My Struggle Reading With The Heat

  I won’t be the first to say that reading in summer is not easy. Maybe you feel differently, and if so I would love to hear how you manage it, but when it comes to summer reading I lose all speed and resilience. What used to be my reading pace is now a distant memory…

• No Post Today

  Life events have muddled my time management a little so I unfortunately do not have a review or discussion lined up for today and I am heading off on a roadtrip for a wedding in half an hour so I do not have the time to whiz one up. No worries! I will be back…

• My November 2024 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: jittery. I have been busy this month which has meant I have had to separate myself from my reading stack in my room. Jokes aside, the first half of November was full of work, uni seminars, networking events and family celebrations, and as such I haven’t read as much as I maybe anticipated.…

• The End of Year Reading Crunch

  As the end of the year nears and we enter December, one thing I know will be the talk of bookish social media is the reading goals set at the beginning of 2024. At this stage though, it’s more likely the talk of binge reading to try and get the numbers up and prove that…

• My Review of Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse

  I have read the Shadow and Bone trilogy, the Six of Crows duology, and the King of Scars duology, and now it is time to review Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse as a whole. It has been some time since I last read the King of Scars duology, so I have not done a duology review for…

• Spooktober Daily Posts Debrief

  What a month it has been! I always forget just how involved daily posting is, but I am successfully on the other side and ready to have a nice long nap, or read a cosy book to gently guide me back into casual reading. Spooktober daily posting has been and gone for 2024 and here…

• My October 2024 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: preoccupied. As October has been the final month of postgrad classes, personal stuff, and the exam season, I have been rather busy. Finding the time to read when other things should take precedence can bring about a lot of guilt, so I haven’t read as many books as I thought (mainly the first…

• What to Expect From Scott Lynch’s The Republic of Thieves

  I am so excited to finally read The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch. It has been a busy month of spooky reads, finishing uni papers, work and PhD activity, and this is the kind of book you just know will be worth the wait. I started it yesterday, so this will be a slightly…

• The End of Post-Graduate Classes

  With October coming to a close, my final few assignments for my postgraduate course are due and classes have concluded. The semester has flown by – I still feel like I’m in week five following the first assignment submission, ready to delve into a new topic. It has been an incredibly enlightening experience, and I…
