Wow! So last night was a wild one, hence the reason I’ve made the wise decision to postpone this post until today.
I want to talk about Spotify, and you must be thinking how does this relate to books? Well, everything has a way of relating to books if you try hard enough. So today’s post is based on book recommendations for six of my most listened to artist/ albums on Spotify.
I’ve seen this Read, Rewrite, Burn Book Tag on a fair few bookish YouTube accounts, in which they do a longer video with many many books. I thought I’d do a modified version where I take three books I was sent for review and am yet to read, and chose, based off the blurb and first chapters alone, which book I will Read, Rewrite, and Put Down (because burning seems to harsh for a book that I have yet to read).
The books I have chosen are all from a very similar genre and have all been sent to me by Allen & Unwin (this post is not sponsored).
Today I am bringing you a pretty long book tag. I’m not 100% sure where I found this tag but I remember seeing it somewhere, thinking it was the coolest thing ever, wrote down the prompts then forgot about it for a year.
Due to the draft of this post being three pages in my A5 notebook, I won’t ramble for too long. So without further ado, lets begin the tag!
Yes it is that time of the week again where we pull another tag from the internet and plop it on the blog!
Aside though, I’m lying in bed and I sang out an intro song to this post, and it makes me really think how much YouTube I’ve been watching lately and how maybe unhealthy it is for my blogging…
Anyways back to the tag!
Today I will be doing the Festive Christmas Book Tag! Because it is never too early for some Christmas cheer! Also it’s December 2nd. This tag was created by GirlReading on YouTube.

What is this!? Two posts in one week??? I think I’m finally starting to get my sh*t together, and the sad thing is I have so many brilliant ideas for posts on this blog written in a cute pen in a cute pink notebook, that I stupidly keep procrastinating.
But enough of that! Now I have a cool new phone, big enough to type up blog posts and make posts on the go I wont have to make excuses about not having my computer on me to post.

Now that that little rant is over with, I want to tell you all about how my NaNoWriMo writing month went.
It went….. okay.
So I went into this with an already started story that I was origionally writing and I felt like I needed a reason for myself to put more effort into it.
The book started with around 1,500 words, and over the course of the first week, which consisted of studying for Uni exams, procrastinating said studying, and many mental breakdowns, I managed to raise my total word count to 3,257 words. I made my personal goal 15,000 words because there was no way I was going to reach 50,000 words like most people.
It all went downhill from there.
Today you’ll be hearing a story about how I got sucked in, braved my fears and started watching the gripping Netflix original: Stranger Things.
Season 2 of Stranger Things aired last week in America on the 15th of October (because here in Australia we have to wait a whole year for a new season to be shown on our t.v.s), dead set in the middle of the year! If you haven’t started watching, please do, then we can all fangirl/boy together.
I use the streaming service 123movie.to (or Go Movies as it is now called) to stream all the Netflix originals, t.v. shows and movies.
Long time no see my friends!
I’ve been waiting for that day that I’d have enough time and mental effort to come back here and share my reading life with you all; which up to this point has been pretty much non-existant. I’ve had to lower my Goodreads Reading Goal down from 50 to 23 books, as I have been stuck on Nevernight since New Years, and Uni has left me beaten and dying with only 14 books to my name.
But, Never Fear! I am back and reading and as determined as ever, taking part in the Tome Topple Readathon!
This Readathon was created by Sam from Thoughts On Tomes on YouTube, and it is in its 5th round! There are many hosts, including our very own Australian; Caz from The Little Book Owl. The hosts will be doing reading sprints on twitter @Tome_Topple, if you wish to follow.
The Readathon begins
It is Tag Time! In this post, you will get a little insight into how crazy I would be if I were The Ruler of Books.
I’ve seen this tag done by many of my favourite YouTubers, and I wanted to have a go. Luckily I happened to stumble across Caroline’s blog – Just Another Bookish Blog – and found the questions (and this cute graphic) to make this post possible.
The BookTubeAthon starts tomorrow at Midnight! My friend Tracy (@trufflebooks) dragged me into this and now I’m going to attempt to read 7 books in 7 days!!
The prompts for the books are as listed below:
So with the Tracy’s help, I managed to chose 7 books which I hope to, but most likely will not finish within the seven days of the challenge.
