May 2022 Wrap-Up and June TBR

It’s been a very slow reading month for me – life got in the way and I only managed 6 books, putting me behind in my Goodreads Challenge on 46/120.

Still, onwards and upwards! I’ve now got many half-read books that I hope to finish in June along with some new additions to the TBR.

My Books of 2021

I’ll finish 2021 on about 130 books, way ahead of my Goodreads Challenge target of 100 (yay!)

I just thought I’d take a few minutes to share some of the BRILLIANT books I’ve read this year – 5 fiction, 5 non-fiction. Hope you find something to pique your interest here, just in case Santa didn’t bring you enough books!

This will be my last post of 2021, so wishing you all a Happy New Year and I’ll see you in 2022. Thanks to everyone who has visited my blog this year or chatted to me on Twitter – it has been an absolute pleasure.

I’d like to thank the heatwave for making it impossible for me to do much else other than read. I am eternally grateful that this coincided (happily) with time off work!

I’m now at 81/100 on my Goodreads Challenge.

WWW Wednesday: 21st July, 2021


WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Taking on a World of Words. Anyone can take part and it is a great way of sharing what you have just finished reading, what you are currently reading and what is next on the TBR.

The school term is now finished and I am free to read! It is very sunny and my pale gingery self can’t cope so I’m looking forward to hiding from the sun with a cold drink, a huge pile of books and the ever-present (but not long-lasting) family pack of Fruit Gums!

I’m now at 73/100 on my Goodreads Challenge.

WWW Wednesday: 14th July, 2021


WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Taking on a World of Words. Anyone can take part and it is a great way of sharing what you have just finished reading, what you are currently reading and what is next on the TBR.

Since I last did a WWW Wednesday post, the school term has finished and this teacher is now reading whatever and whenever! I’m now at 70/100 on my Goodreads Challenge.
