Having run various blogs over the years, one of the main lessons I've learnt is to stay organised. Knowing what you want to write and when, doing any research (if necessary), keeping note of any new ideas, knowing your review deadlines etcetera... All that needs to be organised, otherwise blogging is overwhelming and not the… Continue reading How I Organise My Blogging

WDAS Life Lessons: Fun and Fancy Free.
WDAS Life Lessons has hit the sticky interwar and post-war moments in Disney history - those years when Disney didn't release full length feature films but rather package films: Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music, Fun and Fancy Free, Melody Time, and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad. Out of the six… Continue reading WDAS Life Lessons: Fun and Fancy Free.
Sarah's New and Anticipated Releases
Following the publication of my "anticipated releases" post a few days ago, Sarah asked me if I would share some of the new and upcoming books she's looking forward to reading. They're all pretty much Children and Middle Grade Fantasy so you never know, some of these might make their way onto my reading lists… Continue reading Sarah's New and Anticipated Releases
New And Upcoming Releases On My Radar
We are now a couple of weeks into the new year and round this time my mind starts wondering and thinking about all the new and upcoming releases for this year. Now I have to admit that when I looked at 2020 releases lists, I was not enamoured by 98% of the books. Hardly anything… Continue reading New And Upcoming Releases On My Radar
5 Changes To My Reading For 2020
January is the month where we outline our reading challenges and goals for the year. It is when we actually look back on the previous year, take it apart, and change what we didn't like or what didn't work for us. I'm definitely feeling that. I've noticed over the last few years that there are… Continue reading 5 Changes To My Reading For 2020
Book Journal Spreads For 2020
The new year means a fresh start in my book/reading journal and although it is still relatively new, I have made a few new spreads to help me track my books and reading. Genre Tracking: I used to do this in one of my old journals but not in this way with different check boxes… Continue reading Book Journal Spreads For 2020
Books Read in 2019 That Weren’t For Me
Traditionally, it is usually time for the "worst of" books but I decided to scrap that idea this year because I don't really have any books that fit that category. It also seems harsh towards those books I read and didn't like so much because at the end of the day, those dislikes come down… Continue reading Books Read in 2019 That Weren’t For Me
Reading Highlights of 2019
When I look back over 2019 as a reading year, it is definitely one full of ups and downs. I've had a few months where I've read loads and others where I've read just one or two books. It is definitely a mixed bag. However, in that bag are ten stand-out books I will now… Continue reading Reading Highlights of 2019
Top 5: Favourite Christmas Films
Ah, it is now the time I start getting into the Christmas spirit and I need it to hit me with full force this year. After a rather upsetting and difficult couple of months, I'd love nothing more than to curl up under a crochet blanket with a mug of hot chocolate and a favourite… Continue reading Top 5: Favourite Christmas Films
GR: How Many Top 100 YA Books Have I Read #9 and 10.
Hello! I have a bumper Goodreads Top 100 YA books today to finally round off this series and honestly go out with a bang! Looking at the books for this post, it felt right to combine them because I would end up saying the same damn comments over and over again. It's tiring, repetitive and… Continue reading GR: How Many Top 100 YA Books Have I Read #9 and 10.
