January feels like it has gone by quickly but also feel like it has lasted forever. I've spent the month celebrating birthdays, reading, walking, crafting and going on a few days out. Here is what happened in January!
Month: January 2024
What I Read in January!
Somehow we are nearly at the end of the first month of 2024 already. Although it does feel like January has gone on forever. I've read 11 books throughout January which I'm very happy with. In this post, you will find a bunch of mini-reviews for the books I read in January. Here they are!
Library Book Haul!
I've worked in libraries for nearly 5 years now and I'm still not over the fact I can borrow books for FREE! Every so often I come to a realisation I can borrow so many of the books on my wishlist for free. I had that realisation a few weeks ago and it lead to me leaving work with quite a haul. Here are the books I've currently checked out of the library!
TBR Books to Tackle
ike most readers, my TBR never shrinks it just grows and some of the books on there have been there for a long time. So, I wanted to make a list of some books on my TBR that I would like to tackle throughout 2024. Here they are!
Currently I’m…
Just like usual I'm reading too many books, watching too much TV and listening to too many things. I’m always intrigued by what other people are reading, watching and listening to. I think that it is a very good way to learn more about other people and to get recommendations at the same time. So, I started doing the ‘Currently I’m…‘ posts to share my current reads, watches and what I’m listening to with other people who are just as curious as I am. Here is what I am currently reading, watching and listening to.
The Roughest Draft by Austin Siegemund-Broka and Emily Wibberley – Quote
A few days ago, I finished reading The Roughest Draft by Austin Siegemund-Broka and Emily Wibberley and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is full of so many lovely quotes. So, I wanted to do what I normally do with a book that I enjoy, which is pick a quote from it and get designing. Here is a little image I designed for a quote from The Roughest Draft by Austin Siegemund-Broka and Emily Wibberley.
What’s On My Netgalley TBR?
I've had a good start to the year and have only requested a couple of books on Netgalley. I'm still managing to keep my feedback ratio at 95% too which I'm happy with. I started writing these posts to show what was on my Netgalley TBR and to hold myself accountable when it comes to reading them. So, here are some of the books on my Netgalley TBR / shelf at the moment!
Please Read This Leaflet Carefully – Karen Havelin
was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2021. I was looking for a book that was an incredibly honest insight as to what it is like to live with endometriosis and the battle to have it diagnosed. This book was exactly that.
New Releases I’m Excited For! – February
We are already nearly halfway through the first month of 2024. That means it is time to look at the new releases coming out in February! There are so many amazing new books coming out next month. I wanted to share the ones I’m most excited about in this post. So, here are the new book releases I’m excited for in February!
Little Bang – Kelly McCaughrain
It isn’t often that a YA book discusses teenage pregnancy. It is even rarer for a YA book to tackle teenage pregnancy and the topic of abortion so head-on. Little Bang is an unforgettable and poignant story that I feel everyone will learn something when they read this.
