During… Continue reading Period. It’s About Bloody Time. ~ Emma Barnett

The Bookshop Book ~ Jen Campbell
320 pages ~ ★★★★☆ ~ Hardback In a nutshell, The Bookshop Book is a global tour of bookshops and has made me desperate to go and explore which really isn't helping towards my goal of reading through all the unread books I already have! I am quite guilty of defaulting to Amazon for all my book… Continue reading The Bookshop Book ~ Jen Campbell

January – March 2020 ~ TBR
Going back to Quarterly TBR's for the start of 2020, I find these put a bit less pressure on than doing them monthly; I've been through my Goodreads TBR shelf and removed some books which I no longer feel excited about reading.
