Find out what books I’ve hauled, what I’ve read, and what I’ve been watching in January. I’ve also done a round-up of some of my favourite posts from other bloggers, so don’t forget to check them out!
2016 Reading Challenges!
The first time I signed up to reading challenges (in 2015), I got a little bit carried away, and committed to far too many. I’ve discovered being a mood reader can really impact on my challenge performance, so this year I’m going to try for quality over quantity!
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up November 2015
I’m so close to getting a long break off work – I can FEEL it. In the final stretch now and I literally cannot wait for some well-deserved (in my opinion) time off. I don’t even know what I did this month. I worked hard, got the majority of my Christmas shopping out of the […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up October 2015
October was so slow for me blogging-wise, but life was super busy! I’m scheduling lots of posts for November, so hopefully you’ll be seeing a little more of me this month – if you’re still here, thanks for sticking around 🙂 A colleague and I went on a bit of a road trip to Dublin […]
9 Month Challenge Check-In!
My reading and blogging has been out of whack for a while now, and I’ve been rolling with it instead of stressing over it. Natural peaks and troughs, right? But I’m very much still here, and I’m feeling a blogging bug hitting, so I’m easing myself back to blogging with a (slightly overdue) Challenge Check-In!
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up September 2015
Another month has come and gone, this year is just flying by! I can’t believe it’s Autumn again already. I don’t enjoy the darker evenings, but I do have a certain fondness for Autumn and Winter. It’s the run-up to Christmas (I know some people are Scrooges, but I’m really not!), which means I’m looking forward […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up August 2015
I had so many wonderful plans this weekend to schedule lots of posts, but as they say “the best laid plans of mice and men…”. I’m sticking with my latest fitness craze, and while that’s a great thing, it’s also eating into my reading and blogging time more than I thought it would. Sacrifices, eh? On […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up July 2015
Another month has been and gone, and now there are only 20 Friday’s left until Christmas… Mwahahaha. Sorry, not sorry. Anyways, lets get on with the monthly round up! The Books: As I predicted last month, there were plenty of purchases! The majority of the books came from charity shops though, which meant guilt-free cheap […]
6 Month Challenge Check-In!
2015 was my first chance to complete a full year of blogging (from January to December), and so my first chance to properly participate in some challenges. I’ve seen a couple of other bloggers post updates on their progress and thought it was an excellent idea to try and keep me focused and on track. […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up June 2015
We have reached the halfway point of 2015! WUT?! I feel a little like I’m back in the groove with reading and blogging, so lets see what I got up to this month… The Books: No purchases this month (that I can remember). Yus! After last month’s haul, I really didn’t need anything else to […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up May 2015
So, I was hoping for great bloggy things in May – it was a slight improvement on April, but I’m still not blogging how I want to, as often as I want to. It seems at the minute, life is determined to get in the way! I’m going to roll with it, fighting it or […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up April 2015
Where the hell did April go?!? 2015 seems to be going past much quicker than I was expecting it to – we’ll be at the halfway mark to Christmas shortly, and that is just scary! This month felt like a bit of a bust for me, but we’ll put together the monthly wrap-up anyways to see how […]
3 Month Challenge Check-In!
I started this blog in March of 2014, so I was a little late (and far too disorganized!) to sign up to any challenges last year. I knew I wanted to change that for 2015, and went about selecting my challenges carefully, making sure I didn’t sign up to too many, and trying to ensure […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up March 2015
The Books: I have a massive girl-crush on Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, so when I spotted three of her novels – Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah on The Book People for £4.99 I could not pass those up! I also got three books from Philippa Gregory’s Order of Darkness YA series on The […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up February 2015
Books: I did really well controlling the purchases this month! I did however receive some lovely gifts for my Birthday and won a competition or two! Brandie @ Brandie is a Book Junkie was kind enough to gift me Hopeless and Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover, I’ve already read them both, and the Finding Cinderella novella, […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up January 2015
Books: I recently posted about how much I spent on books in 2014, and as a result, I’m trying to be an even more frugal spender in 2015. Not because I feel I spent too much in 2014 (I was very proud of myself, actually!), but because I now own too many unread books! First up, […]
