Do you ever start books and then just don’t finish them...Not actively DNF’ing because you enjoy them but then something else comes along and before you know it the book is firmly back on the shelf and you haven’t picked it up for months?

I have a lot like this from last summer where I got like ten chapters in then just hit a slump or fancied a change or switched formats...

Thorn is one such read for me. It was part of a book club read and I started off so well but then just...stopped. I’d love to finish it soon!

I don’t tend to eat snacks when I’m reading. I am however trying to have a snack mid afternoon as I am feeling my energy levels slump right down. Some mixed nuts and some water are my go to because they’re quick and easy. Sometimes I might even brew a fruity tea. Wild.

What is your ultimate comfort read?
The world of Caraval is absolutely that for me. I am just in awe of the magic in this book.

If you haven’t read it yet it’s a trilogy by the wonderful @stephanie_garber that has such an interesting setting, a great sister relationship, magic, some enemies to lovers romance, the most amazing dress to ever not exist and is set in a game where the MC, Scarlett, goes on a dangerous quest but remember, it’s only a game.......

I remember the first time I listened to the audio and I was just drawn in completely. It was unlike anything I had read up to that point, I love Scarlett’s character so much and the game of Caraval was dark, deadly and so compelling. The series just gets better and better and I can not wait for Once Upon a Broken Heart later in the year.

I love this collectors edition of Caraval, it’s such a cool
design. I have two hardback copies of this one, the ebook and the audio because I just can not get enough of this world.

I got this one as a gift from Adam when it came out but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I devoured the first two books last year so I’m hoping the mood will strike soon so I can finish this series.

Did you have a favourite read last month? I think A Court of Silver Flames was mine. I have a review on the blog but it does contain spoilers so if you haven’t read it yet you may wish to avoid. If you have read it and want to talk about it then feel free to take a peak at my readalong review.

The Nesta and Cassian candle is from the wonderful @emberstagcandles and I’m sure you will agree it’s just gorgeous! The scent is Orange Blossom, Neroli and Clove which is a lovely mix and perfect for this couple (I think!)

1st March - I’m feeling really positive for Marc

1st March - I’m feeling really positive for March. I really want this to be a happy, productive and feel good month for everyone. I feel a little brighter than I did this time last week.

How are you feeling about March, is there anything coming up that you’re looking forward to? For me, it’s the last week of homeschool for my eldest who is craving being back in school with her friends and having some semblance of routine back in place. I’m hoping I can get some work done, get some blogs organised and be a bit more consistent overall.

Speaking of which there is another new chatty vlog up on YouTube. If you feel like chatting with me and talking about the books on my TBR this month then you can click on the link in my bio and I’ll see you over there...

I went through the magical maze and found a lovely little backpack that was a little bookish 📚

It’s been a draining day. We’ve done a big food shop, meal planned and decluttered one of the cupboards in the hall. Our old broken and bartered sofas are being collected tomorrow and new ones coming Saturday morning. I’m very excited.

Just need my copy of A Court of Silver Flames to make this stack complete. Do you have a lot of bookmarks? Where do you keep them? I keep mine in one of my hidden books.

I love the @illumicrate character art bookmark sets 😍
