I am not going to be writing every day on here but I do want to maintain a somewhat regular writing habit as I have really enjoyed engaging with my blog again and I hope you have enjoyed it too. When I started blogging way back in 2008, I use my blog as a memory-keeping… Continue reading Five Goals for February

Reading Round Up
So far this year I have read five books. Three of these were on Kindle (Below Zero, Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour and Reminders of Him), one was a physical book (The Lost Tide Warriors) and one an audiobook (The Office BFFs). According to Goodreads, I am ‘on track’! My favourite book so far is… Continue reading Reading Round Up
Tiny Book Review
Book 1 of 2023: Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. Although I love writing and I love reading, I do not really enjoy writing book reviews. I think I find it difficult to convey my thoughts about a book without spoiling it and I tend to only want to write about the books… Continue reading Tiny Book Review
New Year Reading
I have updated my annual Reading Challenge page so you can see what I read last year as well as keep track of my reading throughout the year, as I will update it from time to time. I was reflecting on the fact that I have not managed to read as many books this year… Continue reading New Year Reading
October Reading
It has been an odd year for reading for me. My usual goal of reading 50 books - which I have managed for the past two years - is almost certainly out of reach.

Reading a book (or fifty)
Last year, I set myself the usual challenge to read 50 books. Since I managed to do this in 2019, I was determined to keep the streak going and I did! I enjoyed a wide range of books. I re-read some books - the most in a year I think (Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert,… Continue reading Reading a book (or fifty)
Reading Challenge for 2019
Last year, I was so pleased to beat my previous personal record by 6 books meaning that I managed to read 48 books in total. The elusive target of 50 is still taunting me though and I feel I must be getting closer to being able to achieve it, surely?! I will be tracking my… Continue reading Reading Challenge for 2019
50 Book Challenge Update
We are just over a quarter of the way through the year and I have read 15 books which I am pretty happy about. According to Goodreads.com, I am one book ahead of schedule and I have read a fair variety of books including these two which have become new favourites: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray… Continue reading 50 Book Challenge Update
