2025 Reading Challenges Wrap-Up

Hello, hello and welcome back! This is my final 2025 wrap-up post, looking at my reading challenges and how I did on them. I don’t tend to join many challenges to be honest, mostly because my reading plans are chaotic to say the least… however, there are a few that tend to catch my eye…

Wrapping Up: The Best of 2025

Another year has ended, one that more than most has felt extremely ambivalent. One the one hand, I did so many things I’m absolutely delighted about. On the other, 2025 was also a very difficult year, and it brought a fair number of struggles with it. It’s also the year when I thought I’d found…

October 2025 Wrap-Up

Well, hello everyone! It’s been a while. October seems so far away, yet I realised I still hadn’t posted my wrap-up for the month! Honestly, life has been life-ing hard and I had to pause this blog as I tried to juggle a lot of things at once. But I have missed this space and…

September 2025 Wrap-Up

What a ride! September was honestly so full, I’m a little relieved that it’s over. Not sure I could keep those energy levels for much longer! It’s officially autumn now, and that means I can curl up under a blanket with a hot drink again which somewhat makes up for the shorter days. My highlight…

pordenonelegge 2025: Day 3

We’ll collectively agree to pretend this post went up when it was supposed to, three days ago, and not almost a full week after the event I’m talking about 🙈 I’m also going to need September to chill for a minute and let me enjoy its final few days so I don’t start the new…

pordenonelegge 2025: Day 2

It may be Wednesday, but I’m still buzzing from the past weekend and all the bookish talk I was lucky enough to be immersed in for two and a half days! On Saturday, I went back to Pordenone for three talks as well as enjoying the general festive atmosphere as the whole city partook in…
