The moment I saw someone post a picture of this little technological marvel slotted into a pocket Travellers Notebook (TN) on Reddit, I knew I wanted one.  And a month or so ago I caved and bought one, because  I want to stop doomscrolling, and stop getting distracted by apps or using my phone as a distraction from my...

When my Kobo Libra 2 started to show signs of failing, I looked at getting a replacement. I initially thought I would go for a Kobo colour but then I changed my mind. I wanted to go for something different, smaller, easier to load any book on and eventually went with the Pocketbook Verse Pro. I found a really good deal...

Ever since I saw the post on Alexandra’s blog for the genre I’ve been wanting to write a post. My genre is/has been/always will be fantasy. I read throughout the genre, from cosy to urban fantasy to romantasy to high fantasy, I love it all. Reading fantasy feels like coming home, the more imaginative the better. There...

In random order, because I can’t decide. These are all 4,5 to 5 star reads. 1. Andy Weir - Project Hail Mary  - This book was just so good, tense, moving and perfect. 2. Becky Chambers - To Be Taught, if Fortunate - This is a scifi novella, and it packs such a punch. 3. N.R. Walker - Upside Down - an m/m ace romance...

I have added something to my creative time: I listen to an audiobook while crafting or doodling instead of turning on the radio.It’s so good, it keeps my mind distracted while my hands create. I have several sources for audiobooks to listen to: within my Kobo subscription and with libro FM. It’s such a delight to listen...

I love to read romance novels. They are often described as perfect escapism, and they are, but for me it’s deeper. I love to read a story that has a happy end, even though it may not seem that way half way through the book. I love to read the development of a relationship, and the way the characters slowly mesh their...

Gavin reads it all, one of my favourite YouTubers, posted a video using a list called the Mid-year book freakout tag, and I thought I’d snag the list, because the questions were fun. I updated the list a bit and post my responses here. So far, I’ve read 40 books, not too far behind on my goal of 100 books this year. 1....

At the start of the year I set myself a goal to read 100 books this year, and I’m now so far behind, that I thought I’d write something to get me reading again. So, I decided to write a list of things I can do to be a better reader. Make a list of books you really want to read. As an extra challenge: Share this list on...

Spring is well underway as I post this 😃 I wanted to post my list before surgery but didn’t finish it in time. I’ve read all but one book on my winter TBR, and I definitely call that experiment a success! And now I’m so excited for my spring list! I’m adding a lot of books to my list, as I will spend the first part of...

Last year I wrote on Mastodon that on Booktube people always have the same books on their best fantasy lists, and they usually aren’t by female authors.So I decided to write a list of fantasy books by female authors. Some of these standalone, some are a series. I’ve now updated my list with some recent reads. Here it...

Each season, I share a list of books I intend to read, and then update it as I read. This means that my next list will appear in March 2025. Here is my TBR for this winter: Winter TBR Sarah Beth Durst - The Spellshop ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ Benjamin Stevenson - Everyone on This Train is a Suspect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Prayer for the Crown-shy -...
