Oh dear, is it really week 10 of the weekly (reading) update?? That’s absolutely crazy! I spent the whole day today in the garden, clearing out the outside lounge area, ready for me to start garden reading time very shortly. It’s the little things in life, huh 🙂 I’m so happy that the outside space is starting to come together, ready for the bright summer evenings. Judging how quickly the first 10 weeks have gone by, summer will be here before we know it. BOOKS This week has been pretty good! I’ve finished two books! First one was Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams; Queenie is a woman with many problems and…

Weekly (Reading) Update | 2021 | Week 9
Happy Sunday! This week has gone so quick, I’ve finally managed to wash down the garden lounge chairs ready for March warmer days and lunchtime reading time in the sun. So exciting. This week I have almost nothing to report. for the weekly (reading) update.. Sorry! There will be more to say in my monthly wrap up next week though, so do check back in. I’ve also got exciting announcement at the end of this post, so do keep reading! BOOKS I’ve had little motivation to read recently and the majority of the books that I do have on the go at the moment are audio books. I did manage…

Weekly (Reading) Update | 2021 | Week 8
Hi friends! We had glorious weather this weekend, albeit I enjoyed it from the comfort of my living room, but it’s comforting to see the change in season and know I’ll be able to spend the majority of the time out in the garden very soon! Cannot believe it’s week 8 of my weekly (reading) update post already. Time sure does not seem to be slowing down! BOOKS It’s been an odd week. I’ve found it incredibly hard to concentrate and my mood shifts almost on an hourly basis, which has made sticking to a book incredibly difficult. I am therefore still slowly creeping through Home Before Dark by Riley Sager…

Weekly (Reading) Update | 2021 | Week 6

Weekly (Reading) Update | 2021 | Week 5
Happy Sunday friends! As usual, today’s post is my weekly (reading) update, cannot believe it’s week 5 already. It’s the end of the longest month of the year and it continues to blow my mind how it simultaneously dragged its feet and flew by.. anyway, here’s what I got up to in the past week: BOOKS I’m still reading The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah. I keep getting distracted by the absolute worm hole that is Tik-Tok and any progress I make with the book is worth celebrating! I make it my goal to finish it next week. @bookshelfraiders announced their February book club prompt (Number in the title), so…

Weekly (Reading) Update | 2021 | Week 4
Happy Sunday, friends! The day is here to give a weekly update about what I’ve been reading, watching and listening to throughout the past 7 days. But before I start can I just put it on record that it was snowing in London town today! The boyfriend took me on a nice lunchtime walk. It’s the first time in months that I’ve left the house with no actual reason other than wander around aimlessly and get some exercising in! And it felt good. I even made a mini snowman! The whole park was full of life-size snowmen and it reminded me of home so much. Every winter our town would…

Weekly (Reading) Update | 2021 | Week 3
Happy Sunday, friends! How has this week treated you? As is the case every year, January seems to last for many years, but somehow the weekends come around very quickly.

Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin (3.5/5) – review to come this week 🙂…

Weekly Reading Update | 2021 | Week 2
Good everting friends, how are you doing? I’m doing okay and am just jumping on here to give the briefest reading update for this past week. To be honest I’ve been pre-occupied with a ton of TV shows and done very minimal reading this week. The boyfriend and I binged on the Serpent (BBC) and that was a ride! I love shows based on true stories. If you haven’t watched it yet, I recommend you do. You won’t regret if you’re a true crime junkie, like me! In addition I finally felt bored with the layout of our living room and we spent an evening moving the TV cabinet to…

Weekly Reading Update | 2021 | Week 1
Good evening friends! How are you all doing? I’ve been busy watching lots of trash, but also somewhat enjoyable, movies on Netflix and generally just chilling. I have been off work since Christmas Eve and it really has been a much needed break. However, as quickly as Christmas arrived it was done and over within, in what felt like, minutes. It’s back to the grind tomorrow and I am NOT looking forward to rolling out of bed to do some actual work at all. So to distract myself from the fact that it’s Sunday, and I had planned to post a weekly reading update today, here I am. Week 1…
