Far From Perfect is actually a reread for me, purely because I didn’t realise that there were other books in the series. I knew that the last time I read this book I wasn’t massively impressed with the writing but it’s a complete guilty pleasure read. That opinion has not changed, the writing and the actual plotline isn’t great but I love that it’s an easy read and I don’t have to think too much when I’m reading it. Which was […]

I have started this process already by writing out all the books I need to read in 2019, but I wanted to have a more structured approach to my reading this year and I want to take part in more challenges! So I’ve been through and decided which challenges I want to be a part of and any other reading goals I want to achieve, including my Goodreads challenge for 2019. My Goodreads Challenge This one is a hard one, […]

I realised that my blog is a little light on information about me. I don’t even have an “About Me” page. Which is definitely something I’m going to be remedying but I thought that this will be good to do in the interim. So I’ve picked some questions that I think will give you a good idea about me as a person. What’s your name? – Jordann How old are you? – 25 What do you do as a living? […]

I have had Maus on my shelf for actual years, I have been meaning to read it from the moment I heard about it. I finished The Tattooist of Auschwitz and thought that it would be a good time to jump into this one. I have to say it’s a completely different feeling than The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which I think is because of the different perspective, for me Maus felt less raw and less emotional but in some way […]

The Book Blog Life has been around for nearly 3 years now, and every year I like to sit down and really think about what is important for me and the blog. Everyone likes to see the numbers go up and in that regard I think that this year has definitely been a good one for growth. But I think I’m finally finding my stride with my writing and reading. I am enjoying blogging more and more. Plus I think […]

I did this last year and it worked really well I ended up reading a lot of books that I wouldn’t have thought of reading and they would have been still sat on my shelf. That’s not to say all the books I read were good, in actual fact some of them were automatic unhauls because I really didn’t enjoy the book or couldn’t get into the story. BUT I thought it was a great way to push me to […]

Captain Corelli’s Mandolin was a book on my 2018 must-read list, and I am so glad that I actually took the time to read this one. I wasn’t sure only because it was a book that had been taught at school and I wasn’t exactly sure what it was I was getting into. Safe to say this book blew me away and I actually learnt so much throughout this book about WWII that I hadn’t even thought about or was […]

So this is my list, some of these books are already on my shelves and others I’ll have to buy! So there’s my list of […]

This is a little bit of an upside down post because I very rarely get bought books for my actual Christmas presents but I spend my own money and get vouchers sometimes. So this is actually the list of books that I am going to treat myself to over the Christmas period! So there are a just a few of the books on my list. I’m hoping to make a bit of dent this year, either before the actual event […]
