Hmm. I enjoy laughter, but it take a fair amount to make me laugh out loud. Usually my type of humour is on the darker, more irreverent, usually sweary end of the spectrum. British and all that. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to give examples of shows I found funny or share some READ MORE

TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS ON MY FALL TBR
I feel the need to say, yet again, though all of you who come here often already know, that I am not good at being told what to do. This applies to people in authority who I do not trust, but also to myself. I can choose a list of books I’m super excited READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKS TO PUT IN A TIME CAPSULE
This week’s challenge prompt is books to include in a time capsule and why. I’m having a bit of trouble with this one. I think because the idea behind a time capsule is to capture a particular point in time and save it for posterity. But we’re in the middle of a global pandemic. READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WITH NUMBERS IN THE TITLE
I was expecting this to be so, so hard. I was picturing scouring my shelves with growing stacks of fruitless picks all around me, my hair disheveled and muttering incomprehensibly to myself as we approached Monday night. Surprisingly, it was incredibly easy! I just searched my cover images by one number after the other READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | WHAT I DO TO RECHARGE
This week’s topic is what I do to recharge. And if I’m honest, after more than a year and a half of COVID-19, I don’t really know anymore. I feel like I’ve been functioning on like 25% of a charge for at least a year and 5 months of that. I vaguely remember something READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS THAT’LL MAKE YOU SMILE
This week’s prompt was books that will make you smile, but let’s face it. What we all need right now isn’t a half-hearted little smile. What we need is some raucous belly laughter. So I’ve tried to pick some of the funniest books I have read. These oughta do the trick! READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Slightly better reading week than last week, though still not as good as the week before! I managed to finish four books, and am part way through a couple more. I even really enjoyed them! Just shelved: I have been hearing great things about Aristotle and READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | CHARACTERS AND AUTHORS I WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH
This week’s topic is literary crushes, which I don’t really do. I’m not much for romance and don’t really have much interest in falling for people who don’t exist. It’ll just further frustrate me to deal with real people. So instead this week I’m sharing some of the characters and authors I’d love to READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
This week wasn’t as good a reading week as lat week. Not even close. I tried several books, but I had a hard time getting one to stick. I finally settled on the one below, but that was pretty much it! Just shelved: I had heard really mixed reviews of this one READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I WISH I COULD READ AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME
There are so many books I wish I could enjoy again for the first time. To recapture the magic I experienced while immersing myself in to a world that welcomed me with open arms and said, “you belong here.” These are just a few of them. READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I’ve had probably the most prolific reading week ever this week. I managed to get through seven books in as many days, something I don’t think I can claim to having managed in the past! I have no idea why or how. But I definitely enjoyed it! There were even some new favourites in READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | FAVOURITE PLACES TO READ
This week’s topic is favourite places to read. When it comes down to it, these days I don’t really have many options – it’s my bed, my armchair or my kitchen barstools. But throughout my life, there have been lots of places I’ve really loved curling up or lounging with a good book. So READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I didn’t have the best reading week – I’m not really sure why, I just wasn’t in the mood to read as much as usual. But I did finish one book early this morning, and it’s one from my TBR list last week! Yay! Just shelved: I enjoyed Harold Fry. It wasn’t READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHO DESERVE MORE LOVE
Hmmmm. This is a tough one. It shouldn’t be – I know there have been hundreds of characters I’ve come across in books and wanted to know more about. But for some reason I’m blanking on this one, and given that I’ve been sitting with it for over a week now, that seems unlikely READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MEET MY CAT
I’ve had several pets in my lifetime. I’m not going to pick a favourite, because that wouldn’t be possible or a fair thing to ask for. But I will introduce you to one of my current cats. His name is Opie, and he’s a tiny ball of fur who is super friendly and really READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | TITLES AND COVERS THAT TICKLED MY FANCY
Oh man, I’m going to pretty much just do this based on the bookshelf that is right in front of me as I type this, because there are SO MANY. I’m hugely attracted to books based on the title, cover or description. I will either be interested or not in a book immediately, if READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I had a decent reading week this week. I finished a couple of books I’ve been working on for a while, and I really enjoyed one of this week’s reads in particular. Just shelved: I loved Alone Together. It’s a selection of writings by various authors from the US READ MORE
WEDNESDAY WEEKLY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | CHARACTERS I’D LIKE TO BE
The actual prompt for this week was a TV shows/books/movie that could be about me, but I couldn’t really think of any. So instead, I’m choosing a few characters I’d like to be, either long-term or for a day. People who either have some character trait that I admire or who get to do READ MORE
