(All of the music in my videos is from Epidemic Sound)how reading has changed for me as a new mum (& my current reading routines)reader in a reverie2024-10-19 | Reading looks quite different for me since becoming a first time mum.

In this video I wanted to bring you along with me for my first official week as a stay at home mum.
Please remember as you watch this that these are the highlights of my week. I don't record the wake ups through the night, the many many dishwasher runs, the many many many kitchen clean ups, and the tiredness in between. What I hoped to capture was the little moments of joy to be found in amongst the beautiful busyness of motherhood. And, of course, the reading I managed to do along the way! That being said, I hope you enjoy sharing in these moments along with me.

I recently decided to challenge myself to see how many books I could pick up with the tiny budget of Β£5, as I have been devouring books lately and needed to find a way of getting lots of books for not a lot of money. I also wanted to search carefully for unique books - particularly books I had never heard of before. Thankfully there are plenty of charity shops nearby, and lots of people donating their unwanted gifts from Christmas, which made for a great haul!

I finally read the very hyped "romantasy" novel: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, and it got me thinking about what makes a BookTok book so popular...
I have been using Goodreads for quite a few years now, probably over a decade, and so I've built up a decent amount of "read" books on there. I was intrigued to see which books were the "best" and the "worst", according to their Goodreads average rating, and whether I agreed with them.

I'm sorry for the radio silence over the last couple of months. The truth is, I've been hiding a little secret...I'M PREGNANT!
In between the horrible morning sickness, and the complete exhaustion when I reached the weekend, making videos had to be put on the backburner for a little while.
Although I'm still not feeling that second trimester glow that people speak of, I really wanted to get back to making videos. And what better way to do that than to go book shopping!

A while ago I made a video in which I organised all of the books I wasn't sure whether to get rid of into a box. The idea was that in 6 months time I would go through the box, and see how I felt about them, having not had them on my shelves for the last few months. It's 8 months later, and I finally went through that box!

(All of the music in my videos is from Epidemic Sound)Spring Weekend Reading Vlog ππͺ΄πΌ cosy books & simple joysreader in a reverie2023-04-16 | It's mid-April here in Cornwall and the sun is finally beginning to emerge from it's hibernation! Spring always seems to settle much more slowly than I expect. Perhaps it's social media's portrayal of all things spring as soon as March arrives, or maybe it's just my own daydreaming mind that gets a little lost in the fairytale of brighter days and sunny picnics on the beach. Much of Spring is still filled with grey clouds and rain here, and it can be easy for me to forget to make the most of the Spring that is in front of me, and long for the "aesthetic" spring. There is so much beauty to be found in the everyday ordinary. In this season of new life, hope, and glorious nature, there is so much joy to be found in the simple things. And simple joys are what, I feel, Spring is all about.
All this to say, I hope you enjoy this video of cosy reading and enjoying the simple things, like tidying my house with an audiobook, buying myself tulips, and time spent with friends.

Welcome to a cosy weekend reading vlog, where I finally read the beloved Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. After about a decade of having this book on my bookshelves, occasionally picking it up to read a page or two before putting it back on its shelf, I am so glad that I got the push to actually read this great classic.
I hope you enjoy spending a weekend with me and hearing my thoughts on this story. π

Today I'm taking on the slightly daunting task of finding all of the unread (or partially-read) books on my bookshelves.
Just a little disclaimer here that the majority of these books were either bought as gifts or bought from charity shops/second hand. I'm only putting this here because I don't want anyone to watch this video and feel like they should have more books, or that they don't have enough. I used to spend a lot of my money on books, but have recently found this hobby to be sustainable by buying a lot more second hand, or relying on those Christmas and Birthday book vouchers! Please don't feel that you need to accumulate more books in order to be a "reader" or spend lots of money to enjoy collecting books. Okay...pep-talk over.
Now when to find the time to read ALL of these books???
