~New blog post~ 8 of the best kindle ebook bargains just now ✨ http://thewritingfinch.blogspot.com/2018/07/8-of-best-99p-kindle-bargains.html?m...
So excited to be able to tick some books off my TBR list soon now that I have purchased a whole load of them for just 99p each. Most excited for Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda! Narrowed it down to 8 recommendations for you all! #bookhaul #bookblog
An exciting parcel to arrive home from work to!!! Just finished re-reading A Court of Thorns and Roses after reading it for the first time last summer and forgetting to buy the next books in the series. It was just as good this time around and I have very high hopes for book 2 (rumour has it it‘s the best one so we shall see) Anyone else read the series? What did you think? 😍😍😍 #currentlyreading #bookhaul #summerreading #acotar
Anyone here a blog reader?? I‘ve just started a book blog!!! Granted, it looks rather bare here, because when I say just started I really mean JUST. If you are interested in longer reviews and general ramblings then please please head to thewritingfinch.blogspot.co.uk (named after the one and only Atticus of course) #bookblog #bookworm #bookreview
It‘s been so long since I posted! I have a two week Easter break from university so I have come with my family to Spain for a relaxing fortnight of pure sun and reading — it literally doesn‘t get better than this. Noughts and Crosses has been in my TBR list for a long time and then I seen it reduced to 99p on the kindle store so finally giving it a shot. So far so good! Any other holiday reading recommendations? #holiday #currentlyreading
I had one of the old versions of the Kindle that didn't have a touch screen and it was getting so slow, so my mum upgraded me to the Paperwhite for Christmas ☺️☺️ but I keep forgetting its touchscreen and having to find my place again when I skip too many pages...
pickThe PRETTIEST cover ever. I have to say, this was a little too basic and 'young' for me, but I still have to rate it as a 'pick' because I know how much 14 year old me would have absolutely adored it. A perfect last minute Christmas present for your little sister, niece, cousin, or yourself!!
pickI have been pleasantly surprised by my sudden love for Oscar Wilde after reading The Importance of Being Earnest, the first work of his I have ever read. His wry wit and hilariously shallow characters make this a short but incredibly enjoyable read. Not normally a fan of reading plays but it was the perfect form to tell this story! #currentlyreading #university
pickThis was AMAZING. You have to actually keep reminding yourself that this incredible woman is writing about her own life and real experiences. I've not long finished reading The Help, and this was like a far more graphic version. I can only be inspired by Harriet's unbelievable and unwavering courage to gain freedom for herself and her children. So glad this semester finally introduced me to a new favourite!! #currentlyreading #novemberreading
Saw this on Twitter and knew exactly what to do with it...come straight on here and find people who would also love it!! On a side note, will I ever get to read anything again that's NOT for my english lit course? #currentlyreading
Essay things 😴😴😴 also, can we talk about how it is Starbucks christmas cup time already?!?!
Essay writing while gazing longingly at more exciting books that are desperate to be read... #amwriting #novemberTBR #TBR
Can't stop googling literary inspired tattoos and this one seriously speaks to me. Oh Atticus, you old gem (haha, Jem, get it).
On a side note, TKAM is always what I say when I'm asked what my favourite book is and that results in an eye roll and a "really? an english lit student and that's the best you can do?" What's wrong with appreciating such a MASTERPIECE?!?!
What's your go-to answer for that question?
(also those prickly legs look itchy)
So apparently it has been 3 months since I last posted? Where did the time go?
October was a very slow and uninspired reading month for me. It meant reaching the halfway point of semester 1 of my third year at uni and motivation/confidence has been lacking all round tbh. Here's hoping November picks things up a bit!
For now though I might actually try read a book from my syllabus. This looks to be an interesting one!

This felt too appropriate right now not to share. Miss Skeeter is searching the newspaper for job adverts and sees ones for pretty young salesgirls, secretaries that don't even type and finally, a junior stenographer at $1.25/hr, which she circles. Continue on to the male section and there is bank managers, accountants, and that same stenographer job for 50 cents more per hour. Will things ever change?

So apparently I inadvertently stuck to a colour theme when it came to my favourite books of July? Each of these were PRETTY different to the others, apart from maybe The Power which did have a bit of a Handmaid's Tale feel to it. Really enjoyed trying out some new authors this month.
1. In my bed, of course (Scotland) // 2. There's been a few good ones but really loved I'm Not Scared by Niccolo Ammaniti and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale // 3. The Help, Kathryn Stockett // 4. All of the books in the Mystery series by Enid Blyton // 5. The Harry Potters // 6. The super secret book that Ally Carter is working on which I think is set for release in 2018! ------- have you done this tag? Let me know! #letstalkaboutbooksbaby
One week post-vacation to Spain where I read 10 books in the 2 weeks I lay by the pool, and haven't read a page since. Maybe it's because I read so much while I was there, practically all day every day. Tell me, is it possible to read TOO much? Bought this little beauty today though (I do love a good literary pun) and it seemed to remind me what I'm missing and I just want to fill it with bookish thoughts, so I guess I need to get started again?
This ARC courtesy of Netgalley is a *little* bit full of stereotypes and clichés, but that kinda makes it perfect for my current setting, don't you think? Will give a full review when I finish. Expected release date is around October this year, I think. (SPOILER ALERT: His name isn't actually Bob. Which is good, because what writer would choose that for a young guy. No offence to the hot Bobs out there) #currentlyreading #perfectsummerread
The first page, if anyone is interested. Like I said, I haven't read much of this but I can already tell it's going to be a good one! #currentlyreading
Just started this and I'm only a few chapters in but it is already so gripping. It's told in short snippets from four main characters, switching between them at regular intervals to tell the story surrounding the suspicious death (ok, murder) of their fellow student in detention. They are all suspects, and the lies are slowly unravelling. I've heard this compared to Breakfast Club a lot too. Anyone read this? No spoilers please! #currentlyreading
So, I have to be honest, I have absolutely zero clue how to work Litsy. I'm on holiday in Spain and seen it mentioned in the magazine that I read on the plane on the way here. It seems like Goodreads, but with photos? Or like #bookstagram on Instagram (obviously)? Anyway, what better way to start than the first book I finished while I'm here. How did it take me so long to get round to reading this???? Every human needs it.
