My March 2022 Reading Round-up

March was a great month for books - I read a diverse selection which saw me pick up only my second five-star read of the year which was good as I feel like this year has been slightly weak for great reads for me so far.

My 5 Most Read Blog Posts from February 2022

Features, Monthly Round Ups

At the start of each month, I highlight the best performing posts throughout the previous month. I only include articles I actually posted throughout that month and they're written in order. I don't do this to brag, it is to highlight what posts work well and which possibly don't for those prospective bloggers. Here are the most successful blog posts from the month of February 2022. Throughout February there were slightly less articles for a couple of reasons: there were two less days and also I didn\'t read as many books as I was self-isolating so I didn't actually have as much content to write about. However, there were still some very successful blog posts to discuss, including one that has gone on to be one of my most successful…

My February 2022 Reading Round-up

Features, Monthly Round Ups

A couple of factors added into the fewer amount of books I managed to finish this month: mostly a combination of different forms of isolation from Covid. This meant that I didn't have as much time to plug in to my audiobooks which is generally how I get through as many books as I do.

The Seven Spectacular Books I Read in January 2022

Features, Monthly Round Ups

In the first month of the year, I decided I wanted to start the year off strong and pick up some of the thrillers that had been sitting on my TBR list for far too long. On top of this, I also stumbled across two corkers that I hadn't even heard of until about a day before I bought them. As well as a huge array of thrillers, I managed to finish the penultimate Harry Potter book and also squeeze in a book that many people say changed their lives - but did it change mine? Find links to all of the books I've reviewed below and links to pick up your own copy too if you so wish.

The Four Fantastic Books I Read in December 2021

Features, Monthly Round Ups

Rounding off the final month of 2021, I managed to finish four books in December. Not the most I've read in a month, but a month that contained the longest Harry Potter book so I think I can let myself off. Also, it was a month where for a solid week I did no reading as I was eating, with family or drinking! However, I did read a couple of great books in December and some not-so-great books too. Keep swiping scrolling to see which is which and whether you agree with my final verdicts and whether you've read any of these books either.

The Four Books I Read in November 2021

Features, Monthly Round Ups

November was a slightly slower reading month for me as I picked up some slightly longer books and my life took over a little more than usual (I actually had plans). However, two of the books from this month were up there as some of the best books I've ever read and have gone right into my top five books of all time. Despite not reading quite as many, I feel like this made November one of my favourite reading months! But what were the four books I actually read?

The Seven Spectacular Books I Read in October

Features, Monthly Round Ups

In October I read a wide array of books including thrillers, mysteries, a crime novel and the first book I've been sent directly by the author. This month featured three five-star reviews, three four-star reviews and one three-star review. It was a great month of reading filled with a wide range of genres and quality of books. I also hit my 50-book reading goal towards the end of the month which I didn't think I'd hit, let alone with a couple of months of the year left!
