The Book Corner: 2016 Recent Reads – Part 1
These past few weeks have been great ones for reading, so far I’ve read 8 books and counting. If this continues then hopefully I can complete my GoodReads challenge this year, rather than fail miserably. Which is what happened in 2015. So far this year I’m making more use of my commute and even taking… Read more »
The Book Corner: A Few Favourite Reads
Let’s talk about books. It’s been a while since we’ve had a bookish conversation around here. In truth I fell out of reading at the end of last year. Life just got too busy, there was so much going on, commutes were spent catching up on emails and other life/work admin tasks, weekends and evenings… Read more »
The Book Corner: Bookshelf Decisions
Book worm. Book lover. Bookish. Book obsessed. Those are just some of the words I’d use to describe myself. But the name isn’t important, not really, what’s important is that these words mean one thing. That bookshelves were a priority in our new house. So making a bookshelf decision is a big deal for us….

The Book Corner: The Illustrated Harry Potter
Let me introduce you to the beautiful illustrated version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. As soon as I knew that this book was planned I began anticipating its arrival. I was intrigued to see how Jim Kay, the illustrator, would interpret J.K. Rowling’s well-known, and well-loved, wizarding world. Once I had my hands on this… Read more »
The Book Corner: Holiday Read Recap
One of my favourite things about our recent trip to Portugal was the fact that I didn’t have to do anything except eat, sunbathe and read (unless I wanted to of course). And this is basically what I did for 80% of the time when I was away – talk about blissful. It was even… Read more »
The Book Corner: 36 Hours in Europe
Guys, I’m in Paris and I’m so excited about it! This Paris trip is a short stop on the way to a wedding in Pau. After all what’s the point in living if you can’t do a quick Paris trip once in a while, hey?! I’ll be in Paris for about 46 hours in total, from… Read more »
The Book Corner: Only Ever Yours
Captivating. Horrifying. Intriguing. Uncomfortable. Addictive. These are just some of the thoughts I have about Only Ever Yours by Louise O’Neill. Before I get into all my feelings on this book, let me tell you a little bit about it.This novel tells the story of Frieda and Isabel who are bred (as all girls are) into… Read more »
The Book Corner: Recent Purchases
For the last couple of months I’ve been having such trouble getting into a book. Normally I can read two books a week easily, but since mid-March I’ve only read five books, I just don’t know what is wrong with me! You’d think that with my current reading issues I’d have stopped buying books. After… Read more »
The Book Corner: 2015 books so far
Now that we are nearing the end of the third month of 2015 I though it would be a good moment to talk books. I’ve read a good handful of these lovelies so far this year, so it’s definitely about time I shared my thoughts on one or two of them. So read on for… Read more »
