Hey everyone.
I'm back. Ok I didn't really go anywhere but I had a couple of busy weeks where I didn't get to finish any books (shocking I know).
So this is a bit of a bumper edition to catch up on a lot of the books that I haven't yet mentioned on my blog.
Ready ...
Hands up, who's still been enjoying some lovely weather?
I was still out in my garden reading at 8pm last night, perfect light and temperature, it was blissful!
My reading pace on the other hand, not so good (well by my own standards anyway) but her are a couple of quick reviews for you ...
That's it, half term is over.
Who else enjoyed a bit of glorious sunshine?
I'll admit, I didn't do as much reading as I had planned to do, the sun made me rather relaxed and sleepy during the day (and hot and bothered at night).
I did however make a good dent in my Netgalley list, which of course means I want to request more books now.
But on to what I did read ...
Hello lovely readers, I hope you are all starting to enjoy reading in a bit of sunshine!
Last week was a bit of a slow reading week for me so I don't have an abundance of book reviews to share with you.
However this week for me is half term, in theory this gives me more time to read but we have a lot of family outings planned which may slow my reading pace down.
Watch this space.
Hello lovely bookworms.
How are we all, another week into the year. Has anyone found any lasting sunshine yet?
It was a good week of reading last year. Had to give myself a big push up the bum as I've said yes to being a part of quite a few blog tours which meant I needed to increase my reading pace (a lot).
And for that reason a lot of my reviews will be short and snappy as you'll be able to see my entire thoughts when the blog tour posts go live over the next month or so.
On that note, here are the novels I managed to read and enjoy over the last week:
I'll start this post by saying after my persistent promises, I still haven't picked up The Book of Longings again. I honestly don't know what's stopping me from reading it because I was enjoying it but other books keep getting bumped up the list.
Having said that, it's been a slow week for reading anyway.
I had the same old problem of struggling to concentrate. Too tired to read more than a few chapters at a time, perhaps my bed is too comfy to become my permanent reading spot.
However the books I have finished have been brilliant, both of which I'm joining blog tours for soon so I will get my thoughts short and sweet for now ...
Hey there fellow bibliophiles.
Well after the previous week's lack of reading mojo, last week certainly made up for it (definitely helped by the calibre of books that I chose/was given to read.
Totalling almost one book a day - I actually read two books in a twenty four hour period - and I'm nearing my Goodreads challenge total for the year already!
So what books did I read, I hear you say in your heads...
The Perfect Lie by Jo Spain 5 out of 5 stars
Hello fellow bookish people.
I struggled to write this post for my weekly reading round up. It's been a busy week working etc, which meant I forgot to post my reviews via Goodreads, which in turn meant that I actually had a hard time remembering just what I read in the past 7 days.
Has anyone else had this problem before?
After much thinking time (and going back over my Twitter page for evidence) I can now share with you the books which I now have memory of reading lol.
Hey there bibliophiles, how goes it?
Last week was another one of those weeks where I just didn't seem to have an awful lot of time to read, because of that I focused my efforts on reading the novels that I had scheduled in for blog tours (so do look out for the full reviews in the coming weeks).
In other news, I did get a fantastic new book shelf - which I've pictured below - an excuse to buy some more books right.
So I've sort of filled up my book shelves ....

It's a mix of colours, series, paperback and hardbacks
Feel like I have my own little bookshop in lounge ❤📚@bookoffimreadin @JessicaLeeke
I promised I'd tag you so here it is.#booktwitter #booktwitter #bookshelfie pic.twitter.com/OrP4cVVWjE
On to the books I did read...
Hello bibliophiles.
Another week has passed, I got the chance to visit a bookshop and browse the shelves. Even though I didn't buy anything, I felt better just for picking out books that I will be buying (hurry up pay day).
It was a good few days of reading again too which you'll see in a moment when you read my reviews.
Hey there bibliophiles, how are you all?
This weeks reading round up is a bit more substantial compared to the previous post that I wrote. I've made a good dent in the pile of books that I wanted to read during this month (even though I may possibly have more books to read now - thanks Mr Postman).
I'm also over two thirds of the way to reaching my Goodreads target this year. Ok I know the numbers don't necessarily matter but once I've set a goal I do like to reach it in good time!
Lockdown has at least been good for finding time to read.
On to the reviews...
Hello all you fellow bookish people.
This weeks reading round up is going to be a short one I'm afraid. We've started to decorate our house and stripping wallpaper has taken over my life.
Unfortunately, so much so that I only managed to read two books all week.
Hello lovely book nerds.
Welcome to another tantalising reading round up. I have a rather diverse selection of books to share with you this week. I hope you'll be adding some of them to your reading lists.
Here we are, another week has passed and this of course means that it is about time for another reading round up.
I started last week in a bad way, had to phone in sick and spent the day attached to my sofa, the next day I didn't feel entirely myself still so I lost what I feel is a lot of reading time (disappointed face).
But by mid-week I got over the hump and decided to pull up my reading pants and now I have some short reviews for you all to peruse ...
Hello there lovely readers.
Time for another reading round up.
I feel like I failed on the reading front this week. I've been reading on average four books a week this year but the last few days I just haven't had the concentration capacity to really become fully engaged in all of the stories that I wanted to read.
Therefore this round up will be short and sweet.
Here we are again.
Another week has passed, which means it is time for another reading round up. I'll be honest I didn't think there would be much of a post to write half way through last week as at that point I had only managed to read one full book.
I was struggling to stay awake and concentrate on books.
But with review deadlines looming I managed to find some reading mojo and I have a pretty decent round up for you:
Hello fellow bookworms. It is time for another reading round up.
Despite it being half term last week, I actually didn't manage to do a lot of reading, what I actually managed to do was a lot of napping instead. I guess my body relaxed just a little bit too much having a time off from the pressures of school.
I did however get some fantastic book post in the shape of A Court of Silver Flames. I'll admit I forgot I'd even pre-ordered it so that delivery made my day and my poor other to be read books got pushed to the bottom of the pile.
Here are the fantastic novels that I did have the pleasure of reading this week:
Hey there book readers.
How are you getting on with your reading goals so far this year?
The one thing I will say for lockdown is that it is doing wonders for my tbr lists both at home and online. Im a third of the way towards my own reading target, also helped by the fact that I don't sleep very well so more hours for reading.
Reading is a great way for me to calm down and de-stress, do you find that aids you in the same way?
And I must apologise as my large amount of book reading means that this post is going to be a bit of a long one ...
Hello there fellow book worms.
Welcome to this weeks Reading Round Up, and the first in February for this year. Lets hope this month doesn't drag as much as the last!
I've come to realise that I read a lot quicker when holding a physical book, for some reason when I read books on my Kindle my reading speed seems to decrease significantly. Does anyone else find this too, or am I just rather strange?
Anyway, enough of my ramblings, her's what I read in the last week ...
