My Month in Books: July 2024
I am so excited that we are in August! I’m not the biggest lover of Summer, and I cannot wait for Autumn to get here, and I feel like we are one step closer to my favourite time of year. I have been pretty slow in reading lately, and July was no different really. I’ve been in a huge book slump for months which has led to me changing some things. Namely, I have stepped back from the Jennifer L Armentrout ARC team. I have been a member of this team since it started, but I have been massively struggling lately to read books under a certain time frame. I…

My Month in Books: June 2024
June has been a very slow month for me. I bought way too many books and read way too little. I had a great time in terms of book events. Me and my book bestie Han attended the It’s Strange Up North event and it was truly fantastic… hence me buying way too many books. However, the slump from May continued and it’s only been the past 3-4 days that I’ve actually been reading. Here’s to July hopefully being much better.

My Month in Books: May 2024
I honestly cannot believe we are in June already. I feel like this year is absolutely flying by… and so far it’s been a year of book slumps and ‘meh’ books. May was no different and I actually didn’t read very much this month at all. It is a busy time of the year for me at work, so that is part of it but also… I just don’t feel like reading all that much. Here’s the books I did manage to get to this month. Book Haul Books Read in May 2024 Romancing Mister Bridgerton (Bridgerton #4) by Julia Quinn – 4 Stars The Assassin’s Blade (Throne of Glass…

My Month in Books: April 2024
Can you believe it’s May? I can’t… especially since the weather here is still like winter. Even as a winter lover, I’m definitely ready for it to stop raining now. I had a pretty slow reading month in April. Mainly because I was reading a super chunky book that took me a while. But here’s my month in books for April. Books Read in April 2024 Bookshops and Bonedust (Legends and Lattes #0.5) by Travis Baldree – 5 Stars An Offer From A Gentleman (Bridgerton #3) by Julia Quinn – 4 Stars Shadowstitch (Language of Magic #2) by Cari Thomas – 4.5 Stars Indigo Ridge (The Edens #1) by Devney…

My Month in Books: March 2024
Happy Easter Everyone! I hope you had a fantastic long weekend celebrating and ate lots and lots of chocolate. I’m happy to see the back of March to be honest as March for me was one hell of a slump, that I only got out of at the end of last week. Here’s hoping April will be a much better reading month for me.

My Month in Books: February 2024
I can’t believe I am sat here writing my February wrap up. I feel like the start of this year is flying by, but I’m definitely excited for some warmer weather. February was definitely a slower reading month for me, but some of my reads were quite chunky which definitely made a difference. So here’s my February update. Book Haul Books Read in February 2024 House of Flame and Shadow (Crescent City #3) by Sarah J Maas – 4 Stars Visions of Flesh and Blood (From Blood and Ash Companion) by Jennifer L Armentrout – No Rating What The River Knows (Secrets of the Nile #1) by Isabel IbaƱez –…

My Month in Books: November 2023
December is upon us… I am so excited. Christmas is my favourite time of year (maybe because I get 2 full weeks off work to just curl up in a blanket and read). November was a much better bookish month for me, my slump ended and I was able to get back into reading some amazing books. This post is coming to you a little late, as I have had the most manic few weekends, which is usually when I do all my blogging and bookstagramming but I am hoping to be back on track now.

My Month in Books… October 2023
I cannot believe we only have 2 months left of this year. I’m so sad October is over. I always love spooky season reads and due to work related stuff I didn’t manage to read ANY this year. I barely read anything in October at all! So here is my very short month in books for October. Book Haul Books Read in October 2023 The Registration by Madison Lawson – 4.5 Stars To Kill A Kingdom (Hundred Kingdoms #1) by Alexandra Christo – 5 Stars The Hurricane Wars (The Hurricane Wars #1) by Thea Guanzon – 4 Stars A Fire in the Flesh (Flesh and Fire #3) by Jennifer L…

My Month in Books: September 2023
It’s finally October!!! I’m so excited! Spooky season is my all time favourite!! I have had a bit of a slow reading month (for me) and I’m expecting this to continue into October. I’m currently doing an additional teaching qualification on top of teaching full time, so a lot of my time is currently devoted to getting my portfolio finished off. It’s due in on Halloween so I’m just reminding myself it’s only a few more weeks! Anyway here is my month in books for September… Book Haul Books Read in September 2023 A Court of Wings and Ruin (ACOTAR #3) by Sarah J Maas – 4.5 Stars *Re-Read* Serpent…

My Month in Books: August 2023
September… how the heck is is September? I cannot believe how fast the summer months have passed us by… however, my favourite season is upon us so I can’t really complain all that much. I am going to have a crazy busy September and October so the blog may be a little quieter during these months. I have some work related commitments that will be sucking a lot of my time up (totally my fault! I’ve been terrible and left things to the last minute again… oops), but I’ll post as much as I can. I read quite a bit in August, due to my being off work, and participating…
