My Reading Wrap-Up 2022

Another year, another reading wrap-up – another apology for not blogging more! Alas, life is busy. We’re currently trying to buy a house (hellish) and I’ve picked up a whole new hobby (heavenly), both of which have really reduced my blog-writing capacity. Fortunately not my reading time, though. Shall we dive in? (You can read…

15 Word Reading Reviews: Autumn ’22

Another few months, another few books. I’ve resigned myself to this being all I write about for the foreseeable! I hope you guys aren’t yet bored of bitesize reviews, as I have a few more for you based on my last three months of reading. The Angina Monologues (Samer Nashef) - Heart surgeon memoir. Full…

15 Word Reading Reviews: Summer ’22

Here we are again. Another three months have passed, and a little voice in the back of my head tells me I really should post on my blog again. But what on earth do I have to talk about?! I wail, silently. Then I remember how much you guys liked my last round of 15-word…

Reading Update & 15 Word Reviews

I used to post these kinds of things pretty often, where I would tell you what I’ve read recently and how much I liked it. I’ve been a bit lax lately because I’ve been busy with work, and time for blog-writing has been surrendered to reading and walking. However, I am still reading a good…

My 2021 Reading Wrap-Up

Hello, greetings and salutations, my friends. It sure has been a while. My laptop has been near-unusable for months, and of course I began a full time job in the summer which severely impacted my blog-writing time. You know what didn’t suffer (luckily)? My book-reading time. Boy howdy, did I get through some books this…

Jeans Shopping in Primark

I wrote this last December but mislaid it in the end-of-year excitement. Six months later, I hope my pain brings amusement to you all. Last week, my work jeans ripped in the crotch. It wasn't a great start to my Thursday, especially since I then had to work seven hours with an unwelcome breeze around…

Quarterly Reading Review: Spring 2021

I've done a lot of posts in the past called Recently Read Books, where I'd write up quick summaries and reviews of whatever I'd been reading lately. I love seeing what other people have been reading, and sharing my latest reads was enjoyable too - hopefully for my readers as much as me! However, as…

What I Learnt During 50 Miles of Walking

I walked a lot in February. In fact I walked a grand total of fifty miles in February - and that's just the Formal Walks, not including all the to-and-from-and-around-work distance I covered. I know. You can go ahead and give me my medal now. (I am getting a medal thanks to Race At Your…

My 2020 Reading Wrap-Up

2020 was a weird year. So weird, in fact, that I can't begin to do a wrap-up on it. What am I supposed to say about this year that hasn't already been said by celebrities, comedians, or the Queen? Suffice to say, I've been filled with gratitude for the people I love and the precious…

I’m Not Excited About My Wedding Day

It's not a secret that I got engaged earlier this year. The event itself is a blur in my memory but I think I swore a lot, and then we watched The Simpsons Movie because my instinct in any high-emotion situation is to watch The Simpsons Movie. It's been a little tricky navigating it all…
