Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 October was a weird month for me. The days are getting shorter, the clocks went back, and everything feels dark and a little gloomy. I've spent most of the month wishing I could stay in bed. I can really feel the autumn/winter reading slump lapping at my heels, and it shows. 📚 = TBR book 📝 = 25 in 2025 challenge 🔁 = reread ❤️ = favourite 🎧 = audiobook 😸 = OOCZ Challenge…

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 I'm still working on my October wrap-up, but I thought it would be nice to share a little update about what I'm reading at the moment. Mostly I just wanted to gush about my most recent book purchase. What are you currently reading? Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell & Faith Erin Hicks | I missed my annual Halloween reread, but it’s better late than never.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 How are you all doing this fine Wednesday? It has been an effort to get myself back into a good space with blogging, but I feel like I've done a lot of healing recently. So I'm easing myself in with a nice weekly blog meme. What are you currently reading? The Only One Left by Riley Sager…

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 What a month September has been. I spent the first two weeks of the month on a life-changing trip around the Mediterranean, baking in Spanish temperatures. Then I got home and the mornings are dark, pumpkin spice lattes are back, and it feels like autumn is already in full swing. Don't get me wrong - I'm certainly happy to embrace the later half of the year.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 Oh, August. A month culminating in me taking my first trip abroad in 14 years. So it's safe to say I have spent most of the month running around in a terrified panic. Who let me be responsible for a whole trip outside the country? 📚 = TBR book 📝 = 25 in 2025 challenge 🔁 = reread ❤️ = favourite 🎧 = audiobook 😸 = OOCZ Challenge…

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 It's officially time for my favourite tag of the year! Thank you so much to the lovely Caro @ The Bookcheshire Cat for tagging me and reminding me it's the best time of the year! I'm a little bit beyond the middle of the year since I'm writing this up in July August, but I still can't believe we're already halfway through 2025.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 If you’d told me a year ago that I would have a gym membership and be doing Pilates workouts before work, I would’ve laughed you out of the building. But this seems to be the reality I’ve found myself in! And I’ve found it’s slowly helping me care for myself more, loosening the hold my bad habits have over me.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 I've been feeling so sick of my doomscrolling and lack of motivation for reading and writing, so I though I would attempt to kill three birds with one stone and throw my effort into another Read With Me post! It's been months, and I really miss these fun little updates. They really work wonders for helping me drum up the enthusiasm to both read books and write about them, so I thought it would be the perfect way to…

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 April and May were both months that felt sort of like a write-off in a lot of ways. And by the time June rolled around I was tired. Especially tired of feeling like I was wasting my life being addicted to a toxic relationship with my phone. When the scrolling started to make me feel noticeably worse rather than (briefly) better I decided it really was time to start being present more in my life.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 May has been a weird month. I've been up, down, and generally all over the place, and it has truly felt like this month lasted forever. I'm looking back at the beginning of the month and I can hardly reconcile that it's only been a matter of weeks since then. 📚 = TBR book 📝 = 25 in 2025 challenge 🔁 = reread ❤️ = favourite 🎧 = audiobook 😸 = OOCZ Challenge…

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 We are long overdue for another book tag, in my opinion! Luckily, I have one for you today. I'm definitely a little late to the game on this, since it's supposed to be about Q1 and we are now firmly in the middle of Q2, but I'll stick to answering the questions with book from January-March.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 Spring has sprung! The weather is getting warmer, the days are longer (though I'm still feeling the consequences of losing an hour for daylight savings) and I have my first mini getaway of the year. 📚 = TBR book 📝 = 25 in 2025 challenge 🔁 = reread ❤️ = favourite 🎧 = audiobook 😸 = OOCZ Challenge…

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 Today’s post is a bit of an impromptu one, courtesy of a new release I didn’t even know was happening. If a sign was ever needed that I don’t keep up with current events, it’s the fact I didn’t even know an adaptation was being filmed for one of my favourite book series of all time.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 Well, March has honestly been a bit of a blur. But in a good way! I'm getting settled in to my new routine with work, although it's still tough adjusting to the lack of free time. Cooking a meal on a night is about all I feel I have time for - though I could definitely get more hobbies in if I didn't keep getting sucked into watching TikTok.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 I just wanted to hop in with a little WWW Wednesday and update you all on what I've been reading lately! I have to say, my reading the past two weeks has come almost entirely in the form of audiobooks. I'm very much still learning how to manage my free time around a 9-5, so I'm getting it all in on my drives to and from work.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 How are you all faring? This month was a busy one - I got a job offer, turned 25, and started training for my new position. This has meant a lot of change, new routines, and finding solace in audiobooks. 📚 = TBR book 📝 = 25 in 2025 challenge 🔁 = reread ❤️ = favourite 🎧 = audiobook 😸 = OOCZ Challenge…

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 It's been a while since I last did a book haul post, (my last one was in 2021!!) but I think they are a really fun format, and I have very fond memories of writing that one. Since I was documenting all the books I bought in my monthly wrap-ups, I suddenly realised I had all the data to make a list of every book I acquired over the entire year.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 How is everyone doing? February treating you well? I started my new job this week, so I haven’t had a huge amount of free time while I’m adjusting to a completely new schedule. I’m waking up at 6:30 and I still haven’t figured out what time I need to go to sleep at to not feel totally exhausted in the mornings.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 Since this is my last week off before my new job starts (I got a job!), I thought I’d get one last week-long reading challenge in! This is one I was first inspired to try months ago, when I read Morgan’s post about swapping screen time with reading for a week. I’ve toyed with the idea since then but never actually started it.

Hello, my lovely lemons! 🍋 So, if you saw my December wrap-up, you’ll know that I was destined for a New Year of job hunting. And it gets a little more challenging than my previous ill-fated job switch, because I’ve decided I want an office job. All my little heart desires is the comfort of a 9 to 5. I adored my time in hospitality but I’m so tired.
