Memo Pad: July Wrap Up

I think I should just start pretending I mean to post my monthly wrap ups in the next month rather than keep saying it's late. What do you think? Anyway. What happened in July? I'm asking myself that question because at this point I can't remember! Writing wise, I managed to get the first two…

Memo Pad: April Wrap-up

I know I keep saying that this ridiculous run I'm on with my reading challenge is going to end soon but this month has been another scarily awesome month for books. Not only did I read the eight books I've been averaging a month so far this year but I actually ended up reading….13? Granted…

Aspec April Readathon Wrap Up

The last two weeks I've been talking part in an amazing readathon hosted by Kitty. Her blog post about the readathon is here but it's mostly been hosted over on Twitter under the @AspecApril. There are lots of discussions over there and also author interviews over on her blog. The readathon spanned two weeks, the…

Memo Pad: March Wrap Up

I'm late with my monthly wrap up. Oops. It's April already. Luckily I am currently still a European citizen so things could have gone worse (although there's still time!). I read a lot of books in March which is the main reason this post is late. While I haven't found it difficult to fit reading…

Memo Pad: January Wrap up

I've had an excellent start to my reading year this month. I finished a whole 6 books and that's only because I made myself stop reading towards the end of the month so I wouldn't have too many reviews to write! Four of them were five star reads although towards the end of the month…

New Year, Same Me

I kind of hate resolutions. Especially the ones that say to do something different. New year new you. Those never work for me but I do like seeing goals. Things I want to achieve which are normally a continuation of what I'm already doing. I guess my biggest struggle is to keep doing things not start (anyone who knows me know I start too many things!!). And goals help to keep me motivated and not give in.

Memo Pad: October Book Wrap Up

Phew. It's been such a busy month for me! And I cannot believe it's almost Christmas already. I am not prepared. Somebody press pause, please! Probably the biggest thing that happened this month is that I got diagnosed as autistic. I've discovered so much out about myself and I still am finding and figuring out…

Memo Pad: Holiday Books

So last week I shared my holiday TBR with you. It had eight books on it and I knew I'd never read that many but I was hoping to read six of them while I was away. That didn't happen as I got sick halfway through my holiday and my brain basically died so I…

Cyxus Blue Light Filter Glasses – Review

I don't think anyone would argue that looking at screens all day isn't so good for our eyes. For me this is amplified by my illness. Bright lights are difficult for me and within about ten minutes of looking at my phone screen (on the lowest brightness setting) I start to get a headache. Last…

Memo Pad: November Books

This was a bit of a weird reading month for me. I previously mentioned I didn't want to read any fantasy books as it confuses me when I'm writing the same genre as I'm reading. And seeing as I am writing a fantasy for nanowrimo that was out. I had quite a few contemporary books…
