Looking back at last week where I managed to both do some reading and get out into the big wide world.... What I finished: I managed two this week, a bit of entertaining true crime and an engrossing mystery Alice Diamond and the Forty Elephants: Britain's First Female Crime Syndicate by Brian McDonald I was … Continue reading My Week – 15 May edition (just a wee bit late)

It’s time for another book haul
I'm trying quite hard to cut back on buying new books. Long-term readers will be aware that I rarely buy physical books now because there is no more shelf/floor/window sill space chez Bride, but it's just so easy to click that order button when browsing Kindle editions, so I need to work on that even … Continue reading It’s time for another book haul
April so far…..
How did we get halfway through April without me posting anything (yes, I know my posting "schedule" is always erratic at the best of times)? I'll tell you why - coming down with the dreaded lurgy, that's why. Saying that, I should make it clear that I am not talking about Covid, just your common … Continue reading April so far…..
February wrap
Well, after a fairly ordinary January, I found myself devouring books in February for no particular reason other than picking some really absorbing titles and, if I'm honest, finishing a couple of books that didn't quite make it the previous month. Photo by Monstera on Pexels.com The Stats Books read = 10 (I know!) Pages … Continue reading February wrap
My Week – 26 September edition
It has been a very quiet week chez Bride, partly because I've been feeling a bit under the weather and consequently lethargic, which has meant watching YouTube videos and sleeping. That also means not much reading, though I did manage to finish The Eleventh Day which I mentioned in my post last week. Photo by … Continue reading My Week – 26 September edition
No more looking back…..
I think that I may be coming out of my reading slump but I'm still a little wary of declaring victory just yet. I've also made decisions on my backlog of reviews and I've decided to dump the lot - the long list is making me anxious which is something I don't need right now, … Continue reading No more looking back…..
My Month in Review | May 2021
I can’t believe that we are already at the end of May (or the start of June when this will be published); almost halfway through the year. So much better than this time last year. The Book God and I have both been fully vaccinated, we’ve ventured out to a restaurant for the first time … Continue reading My Month in Review | May 2021
Looking back on my week, ending 25 April
Part of me is thinking "How is it nearly May?", but the other part of me, the one who was out in our tiny back garden today (Sunday) planting in the warm sunshine, was convinced that we are well into late spring! This is a good thing. Photo by Michael Dziedzic on Unsplash And, despite being a little … Continue reading Looking back on my week, ending 25 April
Updating my week (ending 18 April)
We've been graced with beautiful sunny weather over the past few days which is guaranteed to lighten my mood, but last week didn't start that way. On Monday 12th we woke up to sleet, of all things. Anyway, despite that the signs of spring are increasingly evident, and the photo here shows the view as … Continue reading Updating my week (ending 18 April)
Looking back at my week | 17 January edition
So this week we finally took down our Christmas tree. We normally do this around Twelfth Night (as is both traditional and difficult to spell) but self-care demanded that twinkling lights were required for a bit longer. Sad to see it go, but it did dominate the room and it is nice to be able … Continue reading Looking back at my week | 17 January edition
