Memo Pad: August Wrap up

I MOVED. Okay so I mentioned that briefly in the last post but it's been a wild ride. We left the UK behind on the 21st of August and the last three weeks have been BUSY. So much paperwork and hoops to jump through to try to get everything sorted. We are only about half…

Best Books of 2019 So Far!

AKA a mash up of the Mid Year Book freak out tag and a rundown of the best 5* reads of 2019 because what are rules? I've had an amazing year of reading this year so far. The most books I have ever read in a year was 68 but I have already managed to…

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…

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…
