January 15, 2021

all the books I read in 2020

2020 was a weird year, and it felt like it flew by! Despite how fast it was I managed to read more in the year that shan’t be named than any other year. From young adult fiction, to important non-fiction reads, I read a real mixture this year. In total, I reached 71 books, which is over double the books I read in 2019! So let’s get into the books I read!

My Gilmoreathon TBR (A Gilmore Girls Themed Readathon)

November 12, 2020

gilmoreathon readathon reading tbr

Welcome to today’s blog post! Today I’m going to be talking all about my TBR for the Gilmoreathon. The Gilmoreathon is a week-long readathon starting on the 15th of November, inspired by Gilmore Girls. It was created by four booktube creators: Liv, Desi, Mckenzie, and Heather (so make sure you check out their channels once you’ve finished this blog!). As a lover of all things Gilmore Girls I knew I had to participate in this readathon as soon as I saw Desi’s video about it. So I’m going to talk you through what I’m reading for each prompt!
