An Update – What's been happening to me?!

Posted June 24, 2016 by Emma in Blog / 8 Comments

Hello Everyone it’s been a while or at least it feels like it to me. I mean my posts have been here there and everywhere, there’s no consistency to my blogging life at the moment which sucks for me as I do enjoy it! Some days I can’t be bothered to write and review and others I just want to write a short review as I really don’t want to do such a long one. Then I question myself because I never get to say everything I want to in a short one. You can tell I’m babbling here, but you know what I mean right!?

I’m still reading, I’m a little slower than usual and I think I reading what I fancy at the mo too. A lot of my posts these day’s on my blog is for blog tours, which although I love doing I find that is all I seem to be doing these day and I need to break that habit. I’ve just finished reading Under Rose Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall which is about mental health, OCD and agoraphobia and I am absolutely loved it. Lately, the likes of Holly Bourne, Louise Gornall, Caitlin Moran they seem to be the books I’m enjoying at the mo a lot. I think for me it’s interesting to see how a minds working and how they differ from every individual. 

When I haven’t been reading I’ve been swamped with work which is getting even worse by the day these days and just taking all the enthusiasm I once had for the job. I’m also starting a new qualification soon which will take some of my time too. But aside from the boring work and study, I have been on holiday too for a whole week and it’s been a long time coming for it. It’s just a shame it’s all over now. I had the best week in terms of weather and I did get burnt too. Uh oh. Plus I suffered from prickly heat which was horrible. No tan for me. Haha.

What I’m watching…
So I guess I’ve been binge watching a load of series I love! Especially some Big Bang Theory which I need to catch up on – I stopped at Season 6 can you believe that!!! And I sort of have Netflix now which also eats up my time too. Enjoying so witches as well, the classic ones which are the Charmed ones! And of course Game of Thrones and Penny Dreadful!
What I’ll be reading next:
I recently just got Love Song from my work and this is the first by Sophia Bennett book that I’ve read so I’m hoping it’s a goodin’. Plus you need a good summer read with the terrible England are having – I mean floods, we’ve just had the first day of summer – typical. Anyways, my next current read if What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick, I hoping this is going to be slightly better than the first book! *fingers-crossed* The Witch’s Kiss is for a blog tour that I can’t wait to read and finally book and the best book by all has to be Holly’s latest book which I seriously can’t wait for. Lottie has been such a character from the first two books and I can’t wait to get to know her.  
I will be back next week with a review of Under the Rose-Tainted Skies. Until then have a great weekend and happy reading.

EXCITING NEWS – A SPINSTER CLUB SPECIAL by Holly Bourne

Right now I am on holiday but I received some exciting news in time for me to schedule this very special post. You don’t need me to explain how I adore Holly Bourne’s novels and especially that of the Spinster Club series as well. It has been an incredible and inspiring series of the last couple of years and it’s started a feminist revolution on how we perceive ourselves through Holly’s writing – I hope it continues to be a sensational series for years to come and I know she has only started. She is a literary hero to  me […]
