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 […]
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, […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up December 2014
Books: First up, the wonderful Stefani @ Caught Read Handed spoiled me for Belle’s EBE. I was the only UK blogger to take part, and it was a fabulous experience! I’ll be saving some pennies so I can do it again in 2015 as well as a few other exchanges! I would highly recommend more UK […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up November 2014
Books I Bought: I had a bad book-buying month, in the sense that I bought books when I’m supposed to be trying to reduce my TBR, but I had a good book buying month because I got lots of lovely new books very cheap! 😀 (For full disclosure, I should also let you know that […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up October 2014
Happy Halloween to all of my fellow bloggers, readers, and Book Geeks! Books I Bought: I thought I hadn’t made any purchases this month, but I made one. Just a little one though. I picked up The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. I haven’t read any Mitchell yet, though Cloud Atlas is on my to-do […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up September 2014
Books I Bought: Well. I truly fell off the wagon this month. Brace yourself, Book Geeks, because imma hauling! Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire and The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J Maas. I finally took the plunge with this series because you guys picked Throne of Glass for me in my Top […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up August 2014
Books I Bought: The (Im)Perfect Girlfriend – I’ve recently recommended a couple of reads to my Sister, who then surprised me by recommending a read to me (I was very excited by this!). The book she recommended was 50 Ways to Find a Lover. Of course, a third of the way in I was getting deja vu […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up July 2014
Books I Bought: The Infernal Devices Trilogy – After finishing up The Mortal Instruments series last month I needed a Shadowhunter fix. I’ve been told amazing things about this series, so I’m really looking forward to it, and I think it’s my first Steampunk novel. Under the Never Sky Trilogy – This is a series that’s been on my radar […]
Stacking the Shelves & Wrappin’ It Up June 2014
This has been a good month for me book-buying wise. I’ve managed to not purchase too many, which is always a bonus, and usually means that I have an excuse to splurge next month… I’m going to try not to (unless it’s a pre-order) and that way I might actually make a teeny tiny dent in […]
Stacking the Shelves May 2014
When I started blogging I already had a substantial TBR pile, and finding out about highly-rated, great new books through blogging meant I was adding to that pile pretty regularly. I was also very lucky to be approved for some popular books on NetGalley. This was great, I was doing loads of reading and felt […]
Stacking the Shelves April 2014
I spotted a meme called Stacking the Shelves and thought I’d join in. As a typical Book Geek it’s not just books that I love, and adore, and have far too many of, I’m a also a movie, TV show and DVD geek too, so I’m including my DVD purchases this month (and bonus points – they’re mostly book related), so here we go…
