When I go on holiday, my biggest concern is always if I have the right book with me. If I can’t get into a book right away then I quickly get bored so normally I try and take a book that I’ve already started but this time things weren’t that simple. I’ve been in a…
I do love a book challenge and I’ll happily take any excuse to look through my bookcase and admire it so I thought I would do the ‘Do I have that book’ challenge. It’s 20 questions that allow you to go through your bookcase and explore the books you own. 1. Do you have a…
The format of a printed book has stood the test of time for many years, only really changing when the paperback was introduced in 1935. But of course like most things in this world books can be improved on, or at least that’s what Dutch publisher Royal Jongbloed thought as in 2006 when the first…
The book was so much better than the film. This is a statement I have read, heard and said more times then I can count at this point. It’s a statement that everyone that has ever read a book that was adapted will agree with but today I want to stand up and defend films,…
So as you know my whole thing is second hand books and the main place I get my books from are charity shops. (thrift shops) This saves me a lot of money and it’s super exciting when you get a good deal on a book you want to read. But the issue is you get…

On 20th of September 2008 something that I consider very magical, something that made me the person I am today, the BBC show Merlin was first show. Now I know you’re rolling your eyes and getting ready to click off but you have to understand that this introduced me to the whole world of fandoms…
So I suffer from Anxiety (great way to start an upbeat family friendly blog post!) and this manifests itself in many way, watching films and tv dramas spike my anxiety as well things related to books such as rereading books, DNFing and unhauling books. So when I filled up my bookcase the other day that…
I’m very proud to say I am a huge fangirl, anything from Series of unfortunate events to Harry Potter to Sherlock, and fanfics (fan fiction) adds a whole other layer to these beloved franchises. I mean who doesn’t want to read about Harry and Draco getting married and buying a house? Apparently a lot of…
So I have a strange kind of love/hate relationship with Abebooks. In the past I’ve bought a lot of books from them, especially when I was a poor student and just starting to fall in love with books, but in the summer of 2018 I read a book that changed how I think about the…
