I may have overstretched myself this month, in fact I've overstretched myself so much I don't really have time to write this, but sometimes you just need to decompress. So, I've set myself the challenge to read 9 books this month, it wasn't intentional its just how things have panned out. Which is handy as… Continue reading August TBR – a Challenge and a half
Praise be to wet weather and mandatory face coverings. A slow day at work means I'm now back on track! I had 'The Communist Manifesto' as my prompt for 'a book beginning with the word The' It's a short read so I had planned to read it today anyway as I knew I wouldn't have… Continue reading Reading Rush 2020: day 6
Officially it's day 5, in my mind it's day 4.5 as I finally finished yesterdays goal. I finished 'Frankenstein' today, but due to social engagements I didn't get a chance to start any other books, as a result I am now a day behind schedule. So, today no little anecdotes, or interesting little factoids, just… Continue reading Reading Rush 2020: Day 5
Had a day off today, so it was well and truly a day dedicated to The Reading Rush. Managed to participate in a couple of Twitter Sprints, one of them led by the lovely Claire Fenby. I first encountered her during a Twitter Sprint last year, and subscribed to her Youtube channel. I later found… Continue reading Reading Rush 2020: Day 3
Another work day for me, so all spare time devoted to reading and Instagram challenges. No Social Media play today. I've got tomorrow off though so hopefully can join in some Twitter sprints then. Day Two's book was 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro' by Ernest Hemingway. I've read a few of Hemingway before, so I think… Continue reading Reading Rush 2020: Day 2

It's a collection of Poems, stories and essays based on the experiences of young refugees. I used this book for the 'Genre I want to read more of' prompt because I… Continue reading Reading Rush 2020: Day 1
It’s that time of year again! It’s Reading Rush time! I know I’ve only joined in this once before, but I enjoyed myself so much last year I have literally been looking forward to this all year. Add to this the fact that The Reading Rush team have gone all out this year, and I’m… Continue reading The Reading Rush 2020
It’s mid July we’re over halfway through the year, so how about a reading challenge update? I’m quite happy to report that I’m on track with the challenge. By the end of June I had read 30 books and completed 25 out of 50 prompts. It’s my first time doing a journal for these challenges,… Continue reading Popsugar Summer Reading Challenge 2020
Any followers will know I participated in my first proper reading challenges last year, I had a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoyed myself. So of course I was keen to really hit the ground running with challenges this year. Of course there's my Goodreads challenge, that goes without saying. I haven't taken part in… Continue reading The ULTIMATE Book Challenge
I'm a bit 50/50 on my feelings at the end of today. I don't feel like I've read much today, but because I'm ahead of schedule I have actually finished my TBR pile and completed all the badges I'd aimed for AND started another book. Maybe it's because I know we're getting to the end… Continue reading Reading Rush – Day 6
