Happy Saturday!! And the sunshine seems to have remembered how to stay out!! Yay! Making the most of it as I’m sure the rain clouds will return soon! Nice to see the butterflies about again too! And the sunshine seems to have made me read more!! Managed to finish 6 books this week, have added 1newbie to my Netgalley shelf and was lucky to win a book via Twitter/X! Here’s my look back!
It’s that time of year ALREADY!! I was super happy to see the lovely Cathy at 746Books posting up the other day that it’s the return of 20 Books of Summer!! My favourite time of year haha!!
If you’ve not joined in before the premise is very simple!
Do you fancy getting 20 books off your TBR in three months? Think of the joys that this challenge brings:
Want to swap a book? Go for it.
Fancy changing your list half way through? No problem.
Deciding to drop your goal from 20 to 15 (or even 10)?
Choosing your list of books is half the fun, as is following along with everyone’s progress on this years new #20booksofsummer24 hashtag.
This year I am kicking off on Saturday 1 June and finishing on Sunday 1 September.
So it’s a no brainer that I’m in and I do like to set myself a ‘theme’ for my reading challenge!! And this year I’m going for BOOKS WITH ANIMALS IN THE TITLE! I was thinking I would split this between physical books and e-books but, very scarily!, I discovered that there are 20 books on my Netgalley TBR shelves that fit the challenge!!! So decision made then!! And it’s going to be a good thing to clear these books from my overcrowded Netgalley shelves so win win!! Here’s my initial list… changes may be made over the Summer but I’m normally pretty good at sticking to my original list! Click on the heading for more info on each book.
So there’s my list!! Liking the look of them as they seem to cover a variety of genres…. have you read any of these?! Which one should I start with?! And are you taking part in 20 Books this year?! If so, good luck!!
Hello! Happy Star Wars Day!! And let’s hope it’s a lovely month ahead for us all! Some settled weather would be nice! Rather nice thunderstorms overnight this week kept me awake!
On to books, and it’s been a productive week! Managed to finish 4 books, avoided Netgalley, but had a little bookish spending spree – whoops! Here’s my look back!
Hello and Happy Saturday!! I am now another year older so please bare with me!! My reflexes are slower and I want to go to bed even earlier than before lol!! Had a lovely birthday, spent bookshopping and eating cake!! The perfect combination!!
So my bookhaul is looking ‘healthy’ this week, and I’ve managed to read 2 books off my TBR pile so that pace needs to pick up! 1 newbie has been added to my Netgalley shelf too! Here’s my look back! Click on the book titles for more info!
Hello! Happy Saturday! It’s bluebell time of year so I’m happy! Distracts me too from the fact that I’m going to be another year older in the coming week…. can I just be 21 again please?!
And on the book front this week it’s been a very slow one for me and I’m not sure why! Just 2 books finished and only 1 new addition on Netgalley! So here’s my very quick look back! Click on the book title for more info!
Hello! Happy Saturday!! Spring is in the air and I’m back to stalking butterflies! Saw this lovely Brimstone this week!
And i’ve been stalking books too!! It’s been a very good reading week with 6 books finished!! I’m still avoiding Netgalley though, but have had a couple of nice bits of bookpost!! Here’s my look back!
Hello! Happy Saturday!! Not too impressed with the weather so far in April! I think we’ve had enough rain now, and winds too!! It’s full on in the garden too at the moment as I’m growing a few plants…. the ‘grow your own cat’ seed seems to have turned out well!!
And on the book front it’s been another good week – a plus side to the crappy weather! I managed to finish5 books, received a book in the post to review and treated myself to another book! Here’s my look back! click on the titles for more info on each book!
Hello! Happy Saturday and HAPPY EASTER!! May the easter bunny bring you lots of chocolate!!

Hello! Happy Saturday!! The build up to Easter continues and spotted this lovely chick and bunnies on a nearby postbox this past week! I may have bought myself some mini eggs this past week too!!

Hello! Happy Saturday!! It’s feeling more springlike here, after a soggy start to the week, so I’m hoping the sunshine and warmth continues!!
