April 2025 round up
What I read As I said in the Monday post I read a lot of fan fiction recently, which I guess counts as reading, but sadly doesn’t count towards my Goodreads goals. I’m “only” 5 books ahead now. One of … Continue reading

I failed to even watch Malory Towers last week, let alone write about it. The first-formers are really not making me eager to watch this series. I’ll try to do better this week… Letters to Enid part 69 and Malory … Continue reading

Tomorrow is a school day as the holidays are now over. It’s also going to be the first rainy day we’ve had in about two weeks! That at least means I shouldn’t have to go out and water the peas, … Continue reading

I did say last week that I had got hold of a copy of the New Famous Five book, but I haven’t actually read it yet, so that review is still to come. I am trying to work my way … Continue reading
April 2024 round up
It feels like ages since I wrote the February round up – but we are over a week into April I suppose. What I read What I have read: Five Go to Billycock Hill Witches & Words (Library Witch Mystery … Continue reading

I’m having a hard time believing it’s almost May, mostly because it’s STILL chilly. The heating is still on at home, the cosy leggings and coats are still in use. It has been a little warmer now and again when … Continue reading

The audiobook I’ve just finished listening to had two Enid Blyton references in it, not unusual, but the strange thing is that it’s a book I’ve read before yet I hadn’t made a note of it. I have this time, … Continue reading

Apart from going to work I have barely left the house in the past weeks due to a certain spotty little boy. We did get out at the weekend for a walk in the woods, though, where we experienced sun, … Continue reading

I’m back after our few days away – where we had mixed weather. One day of clouds and intermittent rain, one day of constant rain, one day which started out sunny and warm (no coats needed!) then became windy and … Continue reading
April 2023 round up
May is upon us, but spring seems to be dragging its heels. It feels like it’s getting colder instead of warmer… What I have read I mostly stuck to the theme of bookshops and libraries with my reading in April, … Continue reading

Last week I did sit down, more than once, to write about Blyton’s best holiday locations. But somehow I just couldn’t get it written. I got myself a bit tied up trying to work out how much the locations could … Continue reading

I am writing this from my new laptop! The old one isn’t quite dead yet, but it has been on its last legs for the past few years (obviously it had more legs than I thought, though). I’m now trying … Continue reading
April 2022 round up
May the fourth be with you! Yes it’s May now, the last legal restrictions ended in Scotland finally and so life is feeling fairly normal – which is actually quite weird. Jacqueline Wilson’s new Faraway Tree book comes out at … Continue reading

It was a long weekend here so I’m a bit late(r than usual). Having reviewed the penultimate Anne Digby Naughtiest Girl book last week (spoiler: it was awful) I’m just going to keep that momentum going and review the last … Continue reading

It was Easter yesterday so the house is now full of chocolate. Maybe not quite as much as we had last year where we discovered an uneaten Easter egg in the top of the cupboard at the end of the … Continue reading

I’m excited to say that there’s a copy of Zöe Billings’ next book sitting in my inbox, ready for me to proof-read. It’s the April holidays so I haven’t managed to open it yet because I want to wait for … Continue reading

A bit late in the day, but I was drawing a blank on what to write about! I’ve finally come up with something, though. PS, yes, Friday’s post was an April Fool’s. Sadly Stephen King has no plans to write … Continue reading
