The purpose of this post is really to discover if I agree with the popular opinion or not - that is to say, have I also rated the well-loved books highly? To do this, I basically went to my Goodreads shelf of 'read' books, and sorted them according to average rating. I'm looking at the … Continue reading The Highest Rated Books I Have Read
April was the month of the OWLs Magical Readathon and I guess it was somewhat successful? I read nine books in total, eight of which I used to fulfil the prompts, and that's more books than I've read for OWLs than before! However, I didn't manage to get the career I was hoping for - … Continue reading April Wrap Up
My favourite genre is fantasy, but one of my other all time favourite things to read about is the Tudors! I love this era of history so much and I will pretty much read anything about it. Unfortunately, the Tudor historical fiction scene seems to be very dominated by romance/slightly bland books that are churned … Continue reading My Favourite Books About The Tudors
It's that time of the year again! It's very difficult to believe that this is the third year of this incredible readathon, but here we are, I guess. Time flies. This readathon was created by the incredible G @Book Roast, and you can find all the information about the readathon in their announcement video here. … Continue reading OWLs Readathon TBR
This is the first post I have written in a long time, due to exams and revision and lots of other things that have been keeping me busy and unable write blog posts. But now everything has been cancelled and I have far too much time on my hands. I think it's important to take … Continue reading Books I’m Planning To Read During Social Distancing

Anne Boleyn is certainly the most popular wife to write about, from multitudes of books published about her, and you can take so many different perspectives on her life. This tag … Continue reading The Ultimate SIX Book Tag: Anne Boleyn Edition
First of all, I am so sorry for how late this is! I completely ran out of time, but here it finally is! So, August was N.E.W.T.s month and I had a lot of fun. Admittedly, I did not read as much as I wanted to, but I honestly did love lots of the books … Continue reading August Wrap Up
Eleanor: In case you didn't know, Alice and I are absolutely OBSESSED with the musical Six - which is a musical based around the six wives of Henry VIII (and we are also obsessed with the Tudors). I was so excited when I found these tags (there's one for each wife), and I just knew … Continue reading The Ultimate SIX Book Tag: Catherine of Aragon Edition
Before we start this review I want to point out that it has been 16 months since I read, and loved, Nevernight, and I have finally finished the sequel. No, I don't know what I was doing either. I knew I would love this, but for some reason I just kept putting it off. I think … Continue reading Review: Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff
I think my reading generally is a good balance of new and older releases, but I also try to keep on top of new releases that I am interested in.
