November 2025 round up
My last round up I noted that we were stamping books for December 1st which was three weeks away. Today (Thursday as I start writing this) is three weeks until Christmas (though we’re not stamping the 25th on loans, that … Continue reading

After somehow failing to post this last week I took it as an omen that I should take the week off, but at least try to prep for this week. Did I prep for this week? Actually I did, a … Continue reading
November 2024 round up
The last round up – or the penultimate round up, depending on how you look at it – of the year! What I read I am at 143/150 (having added the one I proof-read as it is out now – … Continue reading

December is nearly upon us. Normally this is about the time I’d turn on the snow fall effect here, but sadly WordPress took it away a year or two ago. We haven’t had any real snow yet, just a lot … Continue reading

It’s Sunday evening as I write this and that’s good for me as I often write it on Monday itself, which is never my plan. What’s not so good was the little conversation my brain had with itself this morning, … Continue reading
November 2023 round up
It’s December so it’s time for me to write up what I did in the penultimate month of 2023. What I have read I carried on with a few witchy-themed titles I had left over from Halloween, and then decided … Continue reading

I see the Monday number creep up every week (or occasionally every other week when I miss one) but I don’t really pay attention other than making sure the last digit is one higher. Somehow I noticed it this week … Continue reading

After last week’s little step into Christmas I’ve decided to just make the leap right into Christmas. The Christmas playlist has been downloaded from Spotify – and played, a Christmas movie has been watched on Netflix… but I really need … Continue reading

I’ve decided just to give in and embrace Christmas, not that I took much persuading. Obviously I’ve started my posts about Christmas Stories, but on Sunday we also visited a Christmas shop (and Brodie persuaded us we needed a new … Continue reading

My big Christmas blogging project gets underway this week. It’s a little early (though perfectly allowable seeing as it’s November), but I anticipate it will take at least the 7 weeks (!!) we have left until Christmas. My similar series … Continue reading
November 2022 round up
What I have read I didn’t manage to read an awful lot in November as I was ill for over a week and didn’t read anything at all other than listening to one audiobook. But as I hit my goal … Continue reading

Here we are in the last week of November already. We didn’t wait for December to put our Christmas tree up. We put it up yesterday which was the first Sunday of Advent. I’m not entirely sure what that means but I … Continue reading

My first Christmas post of the year went up last week. There may be more yet, there may not, as I might have exhausted the Blyton Christmas material that I have! While I figure that one out I have come … Continue reading

Two weeks ago I marked ten years of the blog. Then I came down with tonsillitis (very florid tonsillitis according to my doctor…) and wasn’t up to doing much of anything for a week. Not a great start to my … Continue reading

October 2022 round up
What I have read I reached 100 books in September but of course I kept on reading. I haven’t updated my goal yet, but I may still do. Currently I’m at 109/100. What I have read: Charlie and the Great … Continue reading

In case you missed yesterday’s post today is the day that Malory Towers series 2 comes to BBC iPlayer! Stef and I are going to have a watch-along of at least the first couple of episodes tonight (yes, we live … Continue reading

Last week I managed to post the right things, so I’m hoping that will happen again this week. My 2021 gift guide is more or less finished, I just need to agree a night (or nights) with Stef to write … Continue reading

Last week I think I said I’d put up my October round up, and then got carried away working on the final part of my Five Go to Billycock Hill review, and posted that instead. I will try again this … Continue reading
