During my long absence from blogging the wonderful Veronika of Wordy and Whimsical tagged me in some posts and both times it made me kick myself for not blogging already. I don’t know what it is but it’s almost flattering to get tagged in these posts because it means other bloggers have thought of you after they’ve created a post and is there anything nicer than that to see? Another bonus is it gives me some easy content to post (I say easy, this post genuinely stressed me out, especially when it came to thinking about facts about myself, this was meant to be easy!).
My first tag post is the Liebster Award, and this one made me do a lot of thinking to get it all ready. I’ve actually been tagged in this one before but who cares about that? It’s an excuse for us to get to know each other and talk about some books after my time away. What’s better?
The rules of this are simple:
- Acknowledge the blog that gave it to you and display the award
- Answer 11 questions that the blogger gives you
- Give 11 random facts about yourself
- Nominate 11 blogs and notify them of their nomination (not gonna lie, I won’t be tagging anyone, I am the person where a tag ends)
- Give these blogs 11 questions to answer (again, not tagging but if you want to do this and want some questions from me I will think of some for you, promise)
So let’s get to the questions I was asked, there are some good ones in here.
If you could be put into any bookish universe, what would you choose?
This one is easy, Harry Potter every time. I have wanted to be a part of the wizarding world ever since I read the first book at the age of eight. I was sad not to get that letter when I was eleven and it would be awesome to live out my childhood dreams and finally get to see it all. See Hogwarts and all of that. I will never be ready to let the magic of that world die, no matter how hard JK Rowling has tried to ruin things for me.
Are there any genres you wouldn’t read?
I don’t think so? I’ve never really ruled out a whole genre, seems harsh. I definitely stick to certain genres because I know I enjoy them but I like to think I’m pretty open-minded. I suppose I will overlook books from genres I don’t really read. Horror has never really been my reading jam. That may just be I’m not reading the right books. I would honestly be open to any and all recommendations from genres as long as it was from someone I know has decent reading tastes anyway.
What’s your favourite winter read?
I totally missed the season for this question, didn’t I? Oh well, my answer still works. I’m not a seasonal reader. I know some folks always a have a book they just know fits best for a season but I’ve never been like that and I think it’s because I’m such a mood reader. I suppose I get summer reads, but even then it’s all down to my mood. I think the only books which will always be solidly winter reads are any Christmas books because I’d prefer not to read those when it’s not around Christmas. I want to know what you guys constitute to be a winter read, though Do you read by season?
Did you enjoy any compulsory high school readings?
Now, this is a good question! Honestly, I hated most of my required reading at school. I do want to say I think required reading in the UK is a little different, though. We tend to focus on one or two texts throughout the whole school, year because based on which paper you’re being put forward for you are given a particular book to study and you read it to death until everyone hates it. For my GCSE we did Great Expectations and Lord of the Flies. I hate both with a passion now. For AS Level I remember studying Wuthering Heights, also hate that book, it should have ended at the halfway point. Honestly, a book filled with awful, awful people. 1000% do not recommend. It’s not all doom and gloom, though, there are two books I did enjoy which I studied and those are King Lear and The Handmaid’s Tale. I actually read The handmaid’s Tale before we studied it so maybe that’s why I enjoyed it? It was different from anything I’d read at that point. I recommended it to everyone after I finished. And King Lear? I think it was the first time we’d studied Shakespeare and I actually got why his work at lasted so long. We watched a filmed stage play and I think the performance really helped bring the story to life. Have I read King Lear since? No, but it was nice to finally get Shakespeare and enjoy the story.
What’s your most disliked popular book?
This one I didn’t even have to think about. The Grisha series is the worst. I mean, it’s awful. I read the first book and it was ok, good enough to keep me reading, but the second book was just bad. I hated Mal. He was the worst and it ruined everything for me that the romance was all about him and I was like dude he’s the worst, sack him off. He was so unsupportive and terrible. I think I have the third book, but why waste my time on that? I have better things to do than read bad books.
What is your least favourite thing about blogging? (Or the most difficult thing?)
Well, considering the long, looooong break I took from blogging I would say keeping yourself motivated is one of the worst things for me when it comes to blogging. Sometimes I just don’t want to blog and I have no ideas, but I can easily put it off for too long and then my long break happens. But the other thing I hate is thinking of new ideas. Reviews are easy enough (although, I felt like mine have gotten a bit samey, but I am rusty at all of this) but trying to think of fun posts is also something else I hate. I work full time, and blogging I often like a second job. Sometimes my creativity is all dried up and I don’t have any good blog ideas and that’s always frustrating.
What’s your favourite book series of all time?
I don’t want to say Harry Potter because, although I love Harry Potter, I don’t think it’s my favourite now, it’s my favourite from when I was a kid and reread the series with every book release and just read for a week straight to finish all the books in time for that final book release. Now? I don’t know. I want to say Lucy parker’s London Celebrities series because those books are my favourites now. When I’m feeling down I go grab Act Like It or The Austen Playbook off of my shelf and settle in for an enjoyable few hours of romance and snark which will leave me grinning at the end.
What book has made you truly angry?
Angry? So many things make me angry, I’m a ranter by nature… but books making me angry? Well, you’ve read the Grisha rant above, right? But even then it’s an annoyance, not anger. I just can’t think of a single rage-inducing book. I suppose, normally because I put them down before they get to that point. I do feel a lot of rage towards Wuthering Heights, I suppose, but I feel a lot of rage to plenty of school related things so that’s nothing new. Have you ever been enraged by a book? I want to know.
What’s a bookish trope you wish you wouldn’t have to see anymore?
Bookish tropes will always lead to romance tropes for me because I know there are plenty of recurring tropes seen in all books, but I’m a romance reader at heart so that’s where we’re going. The trope I am not a fan of and would happily not have to read will always be friends to lovers. I know there are plenty of good ones out there, I do, I’ve read some of them as well, but I am never excited to read them. Like ever. I might enjoy it by the end but even the blurbs sound bland to me. I just can’t get excited about reading them.
What’s your most underrated favourite novel?
Underrated favourite? I had to turn to Goodreads to help me with this one because I feel like I’ll think a book is underrated only to find out that thousands of people agree with me. On Goodreads, I’ve sorted my books with the fewest ratings and there are a couple of authors on here who I would expect to have way more ratings. Therese Beharrie and Ainslie Paton both have books with relatively few Goodreads reviews, what is this? Those guys are awesome. I recommend Second Chance with Her Billionaire from Therese Beharrie. it was my first book from her and still my favourite, it’s a shorter Mills and Boon read so you can easily read it on a quiet evening and honestly, I loved it. but check out any and all of her books. And she’s so nice as well. And my favourite Ainslie Paton book? Well, there are a few good ones. You want to rage against reach people and their awfulness? Read One Night Wife and the rest of the books in that series. It’s a fake relationship book so you know One Night Wife was right up my street. But Also read The Love Experiment, that book surprised me with how good it was and I totally need to reread it now I’m talking about it.
Which character would you like to swap lives with? And for how long?
Swapping lives? Under normal circumstances, I would say I would want to swap lives with any book characters because I don’t want to limit myself to experience one life and world when I get to read about them instead. But right now? I would swap lives with any character that can go back to normal and get outside without worrying about being questioned for being out and about. Any character who can pop over to a friends house for a catch up would be the character I would want to be.
Now to get to know each other (or for you to reacquaint yourself with me anyway). I’m going to say, 11 facts about myself should be easy but honest to God, despite living with myself for the past 29 years turns out I’ve not done much to be able to think of random facts. How tragic is that?
1. I’m scared of spiders. I feel like I’ve gotten a lot better about it as I’ve gotten older, I’m not quite at the ‘burn the house down’ stage of terror. I’m more like the ‘it’s the spider’s house now’ level of terror. I do hate killing siders, though. I can capture them (sometimes) but I’m too scared to then release them when I’m outside because in my head that will backfire and they’ll attack. I used to get my mom to do that for me (she did sometimes) but now I live alone… I’m not gonna lie, I’ve started hoovering them up. I know, I hate myself too. I just can’t do the release bit. It’s the reason why I’ve never bought one of those spider trap things, too scared for the release portion of things.
2. Whilst we’re on the topic of fears. Can’t stand wasps. I actively run away from them when they’re about. It means summer is the worst for me. I was stung as a kid and I think it really ingrained a fear in me. Can’t even help myself. I try and sit still and remain calm… but can’t do it. I actually discovered one in my bathroom the other night and became too scared to go to sleep. It wasn’t moving so I couldn’t decide if it was sleeping or dead and ended up vacuuming it up (it works for spiders) and honest to god it was moving in the vacuum. I had to empty it outside and leg it back in the house in case it attacked. I then Googled wasp nests and became convinced I had one in the house. That is the level of fear I have for wasps.
3. I only started to cook for myself properly this year. I know, I went to uni I had to fend for myself for three whole years there, but I pretty much lived off of toast, pasta, cereal and frozen food. It was deeply tragic and it wasn’t just because I was poor that I ate so badly. I think part of it is I’m a fussy eater and I am terrible for trying new things. I am attempting to be better and slowly branching out but being fussy makes it tough to find new things to try I will not eat anything with mushrooms in. I hate them. And I don’t eat any red meat, I used to only eat chicken (and turkey which a friend of mine like to call Christmas chicken) but I have branched out to gammon and bacon. I just don’t do most meat is all. I have discovered an awesome recipe for some homemade oven chips and a really tasty pasta dish. I’m trying to be better. Don’t judge me.
4. I can’t drive. I’ve probably mentioned it before on here, but I cannot drive a car even slightly. I’ve not ever had a lesson or even sat behind the wheel of a car and I’m ok with that. Sure, it’s inconvenient at times and I do feel bad that my friends and family occasionally end up driving me about (they offer I rarely ask) but I just feel like I can’t justify it to myself.
5. I am terrible at telling my left from my right. I have a decent enough sense of direction. I learn quite quickly my way around new places, but ask me something which involves turning left or right and I will have to hold my hands in front of me for a second to figure out which way that is.
6. I hate silence. I am the person who will keep rambling on if there’s no conversation going (it means my boss hates me a little). But I also hate meeting new people and will be weird and awkwardly silent until I feel comfortable with them. I know, it’s an issue.
7. I hate small talk and often avoid going places I know I will have to suffer through it. Hairdressers? I hate going with a passion and my hair hates me for it. Honestly, people don’t get why I dislike the hairdressers but it’s honestly an awful experience every time for me even though I appreciate how my hair looks at the end.
8. I’m surprisingly good at flatpack furniture. This was a skill I was grateful for when I bought my house but I didn’t realise until I was putting all the furniture together. I suppose I’m decent at following instructions, but most people are confused by the pictures and they just make sense to me. I find them strangely satisfying (although very frustrating around the middle portion when you’re wishing you invited someone over to help you hold everything in place while you’re screwing the bigger pieces together.
9. I really love drawing/painting/fun crafty things but haven’t done any in ages. It’s something I really miss and need to start doing again but it’s finding the time. I guess now all I have is time. I have always blamed my art GCSE for ruining my enjoyment of arts and crafty type things. I was decent enough at it but when you have to do something it loses some of the fun. honestly, school ruined my enjoyment of so many things. Maybe the UK needs to review it’s education system because all it did was suck out the fun of stuff I actually liked.
10. I like to think of myself as a bit of a gamer. I’ve always had a games console of some sort ever since we had our first family PlayStation when I was a kid. I play The Sims obsessively, love my little farm on Stardew Valley…. but games which have an actual storyline… I’m not very good at finishing them. I have a weirdly short attention span and I blame that but I can count on one hand the number of games I have actually finished. I always get bored partway through and by the time I want to play again instead of picking up where I left off I start a new game. I make no sense! I’m the same with book series if I stop reading partway through when I want to go back to it I start from the beginning. And TV shows. Why am I like this?
11. Final fact…. I can do this…I cannot be so boring that I cannot think of 11 facts about myself. Ok, I have a random one for you, the fact I normally whip out when you’re at a work introductory thing and they want random fact about you. When I was 17 I went to Madrid on a college trip and our trip happened to coincide with the High School Musical 3 premiere there and we got to stand in the crowds and watch the celebs walk the red carpet. We were interviewed to maybe go on TV but I think our interview was so bad we never got aired or anything. We had no clue who any of the characters were, one of my best friends was in love with Zac Efron she was the true fan. I just went along with it.
And there we have it. Do you feel like we’ve got to know each other a little better? I thought it was quite fun anyway.
What would some of your answers be to these questions? And do you have a weird fact you like to bring up when you’re forced to do an awkward introduction to people?
What better time to return to blogging than when the world is in utter chaos?
I won’t go into details. We all know what’s happening out there (out there being outside where I actually want to be, for once) and so what’s the point of me going on about it to you when we’re all more than aware of what’s happening? I will say stay safe, social distance, be good, be kind, and stop touching your face (don’t lie, you probably were, it’s small nightmare to try and stop).
Now I’ve got all that positive malarkey out of the way let’s move on to some deeper stuff. There is one simple reason I am getting back in to blogging now. OK, I’ve actually been trying to get back into blogging for like two months now, I even have another ‘I’m Back’ post typed up and ready to go. I did graphics and everything… but I didn’t manage to write any posts to go along with the return post. It kind of defeats the point if you’re back for one post and disappear again (trust me, I’ve done that before). But the reason I’m back now for one simple reason, I’m lonely and stressing myself out with continually checking the news. The world is not the most fun place to be lately and one place where I have always been happy (although occasionally slightly stressed) is here in the book blogging world. We are all so nice and kind to each other and I never feel lonely here because there are so many of you to chat to. It does mean I have to put the effort in to catch up on the many, many posts I have missed while I’ve been gone. But I’m stuck at home all by myself I have plenty of time on my hands to do that. I mean, I am working 9-5 still, but working from home means I can hop on here during my (many) coffee breaks and see what’s happening. So more fun for me and great for you guys,
Case in point of the niceness of other bloggers is the below tweet:
@afoolsingenuity is just a cool person and nice and always so enthusiastic in her book reviews when she likes a book, I love it!— Kristen (Metaphors and Moonlight) (@whykristenburns) April 1, 2020
This really gave me the boost I needed to crack on and get blogging because I’ve not posted in like three months yet I still see things like this! I’m not crying, you’re crying. But seriously, this is why I was stupid to go away (for various reasons we won’t get into today) and this is why I will keep coming back.
Coming back won’t be easy, though. Honestly, the past few weeks I’ve both been obsessively keeping track of news updates (I even watch the governments daily news conferences) but also I’ve been wanting to avoid reality at all costs because it stresses me the fuck out. It’s harder to get a healthy balance of the two since I live alone (yep, well done Becky. Great time to decide to move out and live alone) I don’t have the distractions of other people. That’s kind of what I need you guys for. You are the outside world distraction which will hopefully stop me going insane. Between you guys, my friends here, and obviously my family, I am hoping that I will find a new balance and won’t have a breakdown from it all.
And that is my return to blogging. Damn, this post does not read as fun and upbeat as I hoped it to be. It’s ok, I’m off to work on posts that won’t reference being a lonely (honestly, I am ok) and hopefully won’t talk too much about the outside world because we all need a break from that. Hopefully, we can all get through this together and give each other that distraction we all need.
What have I missed while I’ve been gone? Give me life updates, books recs, general chit chat. I want it all!

A Netflix Original Series!
Welcome back to Virgin River with the book that started it all…
Wanted: Midwife/nurse practitioner in Virgin River, population six hundred. Make a difference against a backdrop of towering California redwoods and crystal clear rivers. Rent-free cabin included.
When the recently widowed Melinda Monroe sees this ad, she quickly decides that the remote mountain town of Virgin River might be the perfect place to escape her heartache, and to reenergize the nursing career she loves. But her high hopes are dashed within an hour of arriving—the cabin is a dump, the roads are treacherous and the local doctor wants nothing to do with her. Realizing she’s made a huge mistake, Mel decides to leave town the following morning.
But a tiny baby abandoned on a front porch changes her plans…and former marine Jack Sheridan cements them into place.
I am not going to lie, this wasn't a favourite and I'd seen the show before reading the first book in this series and couldn't help but compare the two. I didn't hate it, though, and did end up finishing it quite quickly because I was invested in Jack and Mel and their relationship... but I've read better. This is not a new favourite and I think maybe the show worked better for me.
First off, I found at times the description of women and their bodies to be a little uncomfortable. Jack instantly was eyeing Mel up when she was in his bar. She was rain-soaked and not exactly in a chatty mood. I mean, the checking out wasn’t questionable, at a bar folks check each other out. But some of the descriptions used when he saw made him sound a little skeevy. And then when you see how he views Charmaine, his booty call woman he has in Clear River, and then I began to dislike him. She's referred to as older and a little past it and he basically says she looks a little trashy and I'm like ‘dude, you're sleeping with her yet you're being a dick about her. She's too good for you’. He did later mention that appearances are deceiving and that she is actually such a good woman but it was so critical. And then Mel looks at a 14-year-old girl and mentions the way she dressed has her thinking she should be on birth control but she'd hardly spoken to her. I guess it made me a little uncomfortable at times. I know we can all get a bit judgemental initially meeting folks but I didn’t like it. Thankfully, my rough start to the book didn’t carry on through. Things got better and Jack grew on me. But Mel and Jack are not my favourite couple ever. If the show is to be believed, I do want to read Preacher’s romance as that sounds interesting.
Then there was the fact Mel fell so easily pregnant when it was mentioned she struggled with her husband. It just didn't feel believable. It was a convenient ending that was nice but did have me rolling my eyes.
It wasn’t all bad, though. I liked the differences to the show. Jack was more likeable in that he split with Charmaine before growing close to Mel. I know I said he felt a bit skeevy eyeing up Mel as soon as he met her, but I also found that he was more respectable. he didn’t emotionally cheat on his girlfriend and he wasn’t messing her about. He was honest with what he wanted and when it seemed like he could have feelings elsewhere he did something about it. And Doc was easier to like in his grumpy ways in this book. You get to know him and although he’s a curmudgeon, he was nice from the very start. I did miss the relationship between Doc and Hope in the book, though. That added a nice dynamic between the two and explained Hope’s motives way better. We hardly got to see her in the books.
Look, it’s a mixed bag one with this one. I did enjoy it and I’ll probably continue reading more of the books… but the show definitely ironed out a couple of things… but then the book did other things better. It was alright, and I read the whole thing and did enjoy myself so that’s the main thing. But the TV series? It was just kind of bingeable and maybe not the most ground-breaking show, but you know those shoes you end up curling up watching in your PJs? This is one of them. I suppose the books are the same, they aren’t groundbreaking but you end up curling up in your PJs and speeding right on through to the end and you’re always left happy by the end.
Have you read this? Tell me your thoughts if I should continue the series. And what was the last book you read where the TV/movie adaptation was better?

Welcome to my first review of the year and it’s reviewing the first book I read this year. In fact, the first book I read in about a month. And it was a good one.
This was my longest read in a while. Not in terms of length but just the amount of time I spent reading it. A major slump hit, while I was reading yet it in no way, impacted my enjoyment of this book which is an actual rarity. Usually, the longer I spend reading the book the more chance of me getting bored (I know, for shame). Although I can't call it unputdownable, I could tell if my slump hadn't hit I would have flown through reading. I think I might have preferred reading it at a slower pace. I so rarely spend my time reading books slowly so I felt like I was savouring the story by experiencing it in smaller chunks. I felt like my connection to Meg was stronger for spending longer with her. And Reid? I felt like I was over analysing things as if he was a man I liked. I spent so much more time thinking about where their romance would go next it was sort of like the anticipation for the next date. When can I get my next dose of Meg and Reid cuteness?
This book really made me want to sit down with my bullet journal and just get creative. The book just felt inspiring and I feel like it was the way it was written. I was in Meg's head and her creative thinking was catching. I wanted to write and draw and plan! I love a book inspiring you along with an awesome story. And it made me want to go out walking. To look at signs and see the lettering around me. It also made me want to drop a whole bunch of money on a flight to NYC (again). So, you know, inspirational. This book was inspiring and I just wish that level of inspiration had stayed with me for longer than a couple of weeks. I do still keep trying to walk about and noticing the things around me, though. So I guess this book changed me? We’ll see how long that lasts, though.
I did love how although Meg was quiet and averse to confrontation she did totally call out Reid when he cracked on with the potential mansplaining. And then later on you learn his ways aren't rude that's just his awkwardness coming through. It was so lovely seeing them both grow and come out of their shells and the twists and turns in each of their stories was wonderful to see. They were just these adorable awkward couple who had so much going on and it was nice to see a couple slowly coming out of their shell and once you realise they’re both crushing on each other and that’s why there’s something weird going on because they’re holding back from letting all of their feelings coming out. And then you later learn there’s more going on with Reid and that’s why he’s been reserved and almost shady.
I won’t lie. I did wonder when I started if I was gonna be reading a romance with no chemistry. Thankfully they had that spark but it was slow to come out. It was subtle. At first, they were skirting one another and they slowly had this small connection. Then, like I said, it all came out and once they’d admitted their feelings I was loving the romance. I think that’s where my reading picked up when they admitted their feelings and I was loving them together even though there were obstacles to their relationship.
Ugh, I’ve probably epically failed with this one reviewing. I don’t want to give any spoilers away on the story because I honestly loved being surprised and going into this one pretty blind. It was such a charming, creative read and I don’t know if it was the characters giving me that vibe or the writing, but whatever it was it worked for me. I am so glad I began my reading year on a high and definitely recommend.
Have you read this, what did you think? And what was your first read of the year?
I feel like I have done so many ‘I’m back from hiatus’ posts lately. Oh well, I won’t apologise for it. Life fully got busy and sadly, the blog was the thing that had to be pushed to one side while I focused on other stuff. It’s cool, I’m back now and hoping to post one or two times a week,
How is it the middle of January already? I actually did intend to come back to blogging the beginning of this year… or actually, the end of last year and then the beginning of this year and now here we are. Like two weeks into the month and I’m here and ready yo chat to you guys So let’s catch up! Why have I been gone? What have I been doing?
I bought a house!
I know I spoke about my house shopping journey and then began to get a bit quiet about it but that’s because it was both so stressful, but I was constantly scared that something would go wrong and my purchase would fall through. I had problems with the survey revealing a possible wall removal and I was chasing building regulation certificates. Then I was constantly worried I should be doing something while I was waiting for my solicitor to get answers. I’d originally hoped to have the house before Christmas and then I fully expected for it to drag out and for me to not have it until January and then last minute the week before Christmas my solicitor was saying to me that he could try and push it through before Christmas and I had a mad panic of getting the money across and trying to sort time off from work to collect the keys and then I had a house the day before my work Christmas party!
It was mental.
It’s safe to say that it was a stressful few days and blogging and reading was not the first thing on my mind. And the house pretty much has taken over my life and will be taking over my life for weeks I do not doubt. This does mean I’ve only read two books so far this year (I’ve started a third, though) and I’ve not blogged in so long I’m a little scared that I’ve forgotten how.
Anyway, enough with this moving business, I swear buying a house has made me boring. I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and I was saying how all I seem to talk about are house-related things. I’ll get excited about the latest house purchase and talk about it constantly. Luckily for me, she’s having a baby so she’s talking constantly about her baby purchases so at least we’ve both becoming boring together.
Let’s not talk about houses, though! The other reason for my absence is because I got sick over Christmas.
I had the absolute worst cold, I haven’t felt that awful in ages. I woke up Christmas day with no voice and I’d managed to drag myself downstairs to myself a Lemsip and I had to sit down twice because I had gone all dizzy. It was not a fun time for me. The Lemsip and ibuprofen managed to kick in for me but having a cold when you want to be opening presents and enjoying yourself is not fun. I got through the day and did have fun with my family, though. I just wish I had felt better. And the cold also meant my house progress was slow. I went shopping with friends not long after Christmas when I thought I was feeling better and honestly, worst decision. It totally drained me.
So that’s where I’ve been. House shopping and feeling sick. I’m back at work now and still struggling through trying to get into a good routine but I have exciting appliance and furniture deliveries in my future. I’ve watched so many moving vlog videos during this whole process. In fact, one of my favourite YouTubers has bought a house around the same time as me and it’s so nice seeing someone else struggling through this first house moving drama. I feel a little less alone doing it, but I still haven’t braved beginning the process of redecorating, the other YouTubers I’ve been watching may motivate me with their fun DIY videos and that. I’m mostly spending my days crying that I’m poor and dreading trying to catch up on all those missed posts.
What have you been doing while I’m away? I don’t have enough hours in the day to catch up on every single missed blog post so please link me to your latest posts and I promise to stop on by.
