April Reading Wrap Up

# of books read: 7 Genres: 3 Classics, 1 Fantasy, 1 Adult Contemporary, 1 Non-Fiction, 1 YA Dystopian. Most of this month was taken up by reading Inda for the #Indaclub readalong, so after I finished that I mostly stuck to quicker reads and am finishing up for a re-read. I think seven is probably going to be my average number of books read for most months and I'm definitely on my way...

Cinderella Book Tag

This tag was created a while ago by About to Read, but I only went to see Cinderella at the cinema at the weekend and I've been thinking about it ever since, so I thought this would be a fun little extra post. 1. Evil Stepsisters: a book with characters you just hate Gone Girl, without a doubt. In my opinion, both main characters are irritating, deplorable people and I think their characterisation...

Weekender's Guide: North Norfolk

Every year since I was seven, my family have been going to Norfolk for Easter weekend. We stay in our caravan on a sheep farm in North Norfolk and we pretty much visit the same places and do some of the same things each year. I've gotten to know North Norfolk pretty well by now and it's one of my favourite places in the world. I thought I'd put together a little weekender's guide to tell you about...

Easter Weekend Book Haul!

Every year I go away with my parents to north Norfolk for Easter weekend, and every year I buy a lot of books. We visit a lot of charity shops, secondhand bookshops and every year on Easter Sunday we visit a book fair in Blakeney where the books are 6 for £5 so obviously a haul happened. I'm going to be doing a little weekend travel guide to north Norfolk very soon so watch this space for that,...

Review: Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig

Reasons to Stay Alive is about making the most of your time on earth. In the western world the suicide rate is highest amongst men under the age of 35. Matt Haig could have added to that statistic when, aged 24, he found himself staring at a cliff-edge about to jump off. This is the story of why he didn't, how he recovered and learned to live with anxiety and depression. It's also an upbeat,...

Reader Problems Tag

The Reader Problems Tag was created by AboutToRead. 1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR, how do you decide what to read next? I have a TBR jar with a bunch of titles I want to read soon, so I either pick something from that or I just pick something I'm in the mood for. No pressure. 2. You're half way through a book and you're just not loving it. Do you quit or are you committed? I do usually...
