Woah. It's the end of February already? HOW. DID. THAT. HAPPEN. February was a wonderful bookish month for me thanks to half term. I got SO MUCH reading done in half term (I think my grand total was 7 books in half term in the end!) So here we go...  I'm currently reading... NOTHING. I've … Continue reading February wrap up!

Book tasting…

February 3, 2017January 29, 20174 Comments

Book tasting? What? Eating books? How can you be suggesting something so ridiculous?  NO. Not that kind of tasting. A bit like wine tasting... you get a taste of new wine (or books in this case) before you commit to them. You get a whole host of wines (or books) to look at and you … Continue reading Book tasting…

January wrap up…

I am really looking forward to doing these monthly wrap up posts! It'll be so incredible to look back over the month and see how much (or how little during term time) I have managed to read. It'll also be great for me, who has a TERRIBLE memory to take a look over all of … Continue reading January wrap up…

And now that it's a film, I may have to go see the film! I'm sure people have been telling me to … Continue reading BOOKBLOG: Patrick Ness
