The dream right?


Reading challenge…with a twist!

I’ve decided that 2019 is going to be a big reading year for me. I usually set myself a challenge on Goodreads (my holy grail app!) and I still will, but this time around I’m going to reward myself – for every book I finish, I’m going to pop €2 in a jar. At the end of the year, I’m going to take whatever money I have made, and (hopefully) go on a book buying spree with it!
I read about this idea on Facebook and loved it! Reading is a rewarding hobby anyway mentally but it’s fun to put a little monetary reward there too!

I may move to Iceland..
Happy Christmas to…me!
In the name of research (ahem..) I decided to treat myself to some books that I’ve been dying to read! I already cannot wait for the delivery to arrive and to sniff that new book smell. Have any of you read any of these books? What did you think?
Hello and welcome
Welcome to the Reading Nook – my long coming book review page. I’ve been reading books for as long as I can remember – you can regularly find me curled up on my couch, hair up, book in hand.
I’ve long thought about setting up my own page to review the books I read, for a few reasons – one, for myself so I can read these reviews in the future to revisit my opinions on a book – I tend to read so many that unless it’s an amazing book, or one that really touches me, I forget what it was about. Secondly, just to share my opinions with everyone who stumbles upon this page – not a lot of people in my immediate circle enjoy reading, so my thoughts and opinions on a book go unheard and one of the big joys of reading is being able to share how a book touches you or moves you or causes you to think in a certain way.
I won’t be reviewing only new and current books – I am a loyal member of my local library which, while charming, isn’t the most up to date, so a lot of what I read has been out for a while, may be slightly older, may be well known, or may not be known at all. Books can be expensive, and while I would happily spend my entire month’s wages in the book shop, unfortunately life and all it’s other expenses get in the way.
Either way, be it new or old, I hope you enjoy my reviews, my opinions, and I hope if you read this page, you get involved in the comments, I’d love to hear your views, and recommendations!
