#Wrap Up - May 2020

Can safely say May was not my reading month. But I think it had to do with me ending up trying to do about 5 readathons at once. So for the rest of the year I am giving up readathons unless they are low key & have no prompts. So with that being said here is what I read in May...

Sims-a-thon TBR

For the month of March I shall be partaking in the Sims-a-thon which is a month long readathon based on the infamous Sims game & can be found both on Twitter & Youtube.

For this readathon you read book to create your sim & choose their path in the game etc. Basically like playing the actual game but instead of clicking the mouse to play your reading books instead. I have included the graphic down below so you can see the different paths to take.

#BookReview - Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Series - Outlander #1
Number of pages: 880
Format: Paperback


What if your future was the past?

1946, and Claire Randall goes to the Scottish Highlands with her husband Frank. It’s a second honeymoon, a chance to learn how war has changed them and to re-establish their loving marriage.
But one afternoon, Claire walks through a circle of standing stones and vanishes into 1743, where the first person she meets is a British army officer - her husband’s six-times great-grandfather.

Unfortunately, Black Jack Randall is not the man his descendant is, and while trying to escape him, Claire falls into the hands of a gang of Scottish outlaws, and finds herself a Sassenach - an outlander - in danger from both Jacobites and Redcoats.

Marooned amid danger, passion and violence, her only chance of safety lies in Jamie Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior. What begins in compulsion becomes urgent need, and Claire finds herself torn between two very different men, in two irreconcilable lives.

#WrapUp - January 2020

What a long month January was, is it 2021 yet?!

This month for reading has not been the greatest but now been the worst either. This has mainly been due to work commitments & then trying to get my house gutted for decorating which isn't going very well either!

Beyond a Darkened Shore by Jessica Leake - Book Review

Pages - 435
Format - Hardback


The ancient land of Éirinn is mired in war. Ciara, Princess of Mide, has never known a time when Éirinn’s kingdoms were not battling for power, or Northmen were not plundering their shores.

The people of Mide have thankfully always been safe because of Ciara’s unearthly ability to control her enemies’ minds and actions. But lately, a mysterious crow has been appearing to Ciara, whispering warnings of an even darker threat. Although her clansmen dismiss her visions as pagan nonsense, Ciara fears this coming evil will destroy not just Éirinn, but the entire world.

Then the crow leads Ciara to Leif, a young Northman leader. Leif should be Ciara’s enemy, but when Ciara discovers that he, too, shares her prophetic visions, she knows he’s something more. Leif is mounting an impressive army, and with Ciara’s strength in battle the two might have a chance to save their world.

With evil rising around them, they’ll do what it takes to defend the land they love…even if it means making the greatest sacrifice of all.

December Wrap Up 2019

Hello my fellow bookworms! Hope we all had a good Christmas. All I can say is I am more than ready for the new year. I'm currently cataloguing all my owned books & I honestly never realised I had so many.

Any hoo onto the books I read this month & their ratings...

November Wrap Up 2019

Hi my lovelies how did we all do this month? I didn't do as well as expected & only managed to read 6 books out of my rather large TBR. Think this was mainly to do with being ill for the good part of a week towards the end, so ill I couldn't read so was definitely not happy about that. Also had a brilliant time celebrating my sons first birthday this month even if he didn't have a clue as to what all the fuss was about! Any way read on to find out what books I did manage to read this month...

October Wrap Up 2019

Well October has been & went & I definitely didn't meet my reading goals.

I finally re-read the first two of The Nevernight Chronicles & read Darkdawn so the month wasn't a total wipe out just a shame after those three I hit the usual slump.

As stated above these are the books I read and their ratings:

October TBR & Reading Goals

Can't believe its October already!

 A good month of the year though. With all the big cosy jumpers, pumpkin spiced lattes & spooky Halloween vibes! Also means its my baby boys 1st birthday next month... oh dear!

Anyway on to the main books I want to read this month...

September 2019 Wrap Up

Wow what a quick month that was!

A pretty good month of reading for me. Normally after reading about 3-4 books in a row I hit a slump, not this month!

I participated in the Hogwarts House Battles Readathon in team Ravenclaw. Even though I never managed to read all the books in my TBR I still managed 6 with 8 classes complete. Was a really fun readathon and will be looking out for it again next year!
