My February 2022 Reading Round-up

A couple of factors added into the fewer amount of books I managed to finish this month: mostly a combination of different forms of isolation from Covid. This meant that I didn't have as much time to plug in to my audiobooks which is generally how I get through as many books as I do.

My 5 Most Read Blog Posts from January 2022

Features, Monthly Round Ups

At the start of each month, I highlight the best performing posts throughout the previous month. I only include articles I actually posted throughout that month and they're written in order. I don't do this to brag, it is to highlight what posts work well and which possibly don't for those prospective bloggers. Here are the most successful blog posts from the month of January 2022. November was a month in which I tried to some slightly different articles. As I run out of a backlog of books on my Goodreads to review, I am writing more original content that I hope will help people. These include Blogger Spotlights which I hope will give other bloggers a great platform, How-tos and Tips and Tricks for other bloggers and Bookstagrammers and…

The Seven Spectacular Books I Read in January 2022

Features, Monthly Round Ups

In the first month of the year, I decided I wanted to start the year off strong and pick up some of the thrillers that had been sitting on my TBR list for far too long. On top of this, I also stumbled across two corkers that I hadn't even heard of until about a day before I bought them. As well as a huge array of thrillers, I managed to finish the penultimate Harry Potter book and also squeeze in a book that many people say changed their lives - but did it change mine? Find links to all of the books I've reviewed below and links to pick up your own copy too if you so wish.

The Four Fantastic Books I Read in December 2021

Features, Monthly Round Ups

Rounding off the final month of 2021, I managed to finish four books in December. Not the most I've read in a month, but a month that contained the longest Harry Potter book so I think I can let myself off. Also, it was a month where for a solid week I did no reading as I was eating, with family or drinking! However, I did read a couple of great books in December and some not-so-great books too. Keep swiping scrolling to see which is which and whether you agree with my final verdicts and whether you've read any of these books either.

The Four Books I Read in November 2021

Features, Monthly Round Ups

November was a slightly slower reading month for me as I picked up some slightly longer books and my life took over a little more than usual (I actually had plans). However, two of the books from this month were up there as some of the best books I've ever read and have gone right into my top five books of all time. Despite not reading quite as many, I feel like this made November one of my favourite reading months! But what were the four books I actually read?

I've brought back the Blogger Spotlights to highlight some of the fantastic blogs out there who want a larger audience, I've read and reviewed some truly fantastic books, and I've picked up some older books I read a long time ago and gave my verdict on them.

The Seven Spectacular Books I Read in October

Features, Monthly Round Ups

In October I read a wide array of books including thrillers, mysteries, a crime novel and the first book I've been sent directly by the author. This month featured three five-star reviews, three four-star reviews and one three-star review. It was a great month of reading filled with a wide range of genres and quality of books. I also hit my 50-book reading goal towards the end of the month which I didn't think I'd hit, let alone with a couple of months of the year left!

My 5 Most Successful Blog Posts from September

Features, Monthly Round Ups

September has been a great month for my blog setting the second-highest amount of views in a month I've had (the first was July when the Goodreads vs StoryGraph article went a little viral). This is good news as it inevitably means the blog is growing slowly but surely. Here's to October being the biggest month I ever have! [caption id="attachment_1211" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Pin me to Pinterest[/caption] Do note, the list below are the articles that have been most successful for me that I posted in September. Oddly, The SIlent Patient review got the most amount of views this month, though based on the large number of spammy comments it gets, I feel this is because it may have fallen onto some spam radar, unfortunately. Please note that this article contains…

The Seven Spectacular Books I Read in September

Features, Monthly Round Ups

In September I read four five-star books, one of which is an absolute classic, one of which is a sequel to a hit book from 2020, one of which is a truly life-affirming book and the final of which is a contemporary masterpiece about the struggles of love and class set in Greek mythology (take a guess!). I also read three other books which I've given summaries of below.
