I'm from Scotland, and I'm pretty clumsy. Go figure!

  • A book that made me cry. Honestly I don’t know if I’ve ever cried over a book, however I’ve been close a few times. The one I’ve picked for this is Dave Grohls autobiography, The storyteller. I loved Dave Grohl before, but after reading his book it really gave me a new understanding and appreciation…

  • The December Book challenge Day 9, a book of short stories. So my theory behind this is a little different and this is actually a book I have not read. But hear me out. I bought this book for a friend. A few months ago, a friend, Sam, had a pretty serious car accident and…

  • December Book Challenge Day 7 being a book from my favourite genre! This obviously had to be a biography! I’ve written before about this being my favourite genre. I love getting to know people, hearing their stories and knowing about their lives! I’ve picked The sound of laughter written by Peter Kay. I actually picked…

  • The December Book Challenge Day 6 being a book I couldn’t finish! I’ve picked, The Winters, written by Lisa Gabrielle. I got this book on a deal from Waterstones. It for some reason caught my eye, even though it’s a type I wouldn’t normally go for. And unfortunately for that reason, I just couldn’t get…

  • A book that was published in the decade I was born. A good few selections here being that I was born in 2000. I’ve decided to go with The Hunger Games. Now I’ve only read the first if the trilogy but I adored it. The next two are definitely still on my list but so…

  • A childhood favourite book. There was so many that I had to pick from here but I decided to go with the Fairy Magic books. I believe there were around a hundred books in the collection but they’re so well done for a kids collection and I just love how magical and happy they were.…

  • A book with a colour in the title. My pick for this is also a book I first read in High School that really caught my attention. It’s called Small Blue Thing, written by S. C. Ransom. It’s the first in a trilogy of three books and again I believe it’s aimed at teenagers but…

  • So Day two of the book challenge is a book that I’ve read multiple times – The Bunker Diary by Kevin Brooks. Now this is a book I first read in High School. I’m not sure why, but there’s something I love about this book I love. It’s a pretty dark storyline and probably written…

  • Ive decided to get back into the grove of posting and try doing this December book challenge! So a book by my favourite author, and hear me out here – Jeremy Clarkson. Yes he is a bit of an oaf but I do get a proper laugh reading his articles and books, like cry laughter.…

  • I go through phases of reading where I’ll read daily for a few weeks and then drop off and barely read for weeks! I’m definitely going through a reading phase at the moment though. I joined the app Goodreads so I can log books I’ve read and also have a list of books I want…
