I'm not one to often make tbr's, preferring the freedom to pick and choose, but June is just around the month which means Pride Month is upon us. I read mostly lgbtqa+ books, but June is the month where I read solely lgbtqa+. Rereading is one of my favourite bookish things, but I'm trying to limit …
At the end of 2019 I disappeared from the blogging scene. This was not due to anything major, no cataclysmic event, but spurred by spinning so many plates that something had to give - something had to break. The breakage was, evidently, this. I was talking to a friend at the start of the year …
Happy autumn equinox! Happy Mabon! A couple of weeks ago, Lucy and I announced our collaborative reading challenge for October: All Hallows' Read. We're so excited for this spookiest of challenges. We were careful to create prompts that certainly had books to them, but we know that sometimes the brain just stops working when faced …

Regardless, I thought I'd share my a little bucket list I've put together. Autumn is my favourite season. I mean, I'm a redhead …
Just over a week ago I travelled down to London (seemingly my only travel destination this year) to attend YALC, or the Young Adult Literature Convention. Between the heatwave that scorched the air and the hectic atmosphere of the convention floor, it was an eventful weekend. I figured I'd do a day-by-day breakdown of the …
I was looking through my photos from my summer trip to Disneyland Paris last year, and it brought back memories of twenty-six degrees temperatures at 8:00am and things that I wished I'd known about (or known in more detail) before the trip. Europe is currently experiencing an ongoing heatwave (it was 38 in London yesterday) …
We've had memoirs, graphic novels and lgbtqa+ reads, and now it's time for something a little different. Entirely inspired by Clara's post over on her blog, thebookwormofnotredame, today I'm going to go through five books that I want to get to before the end of summer.
