My 2019 in Books
My 2019 in Books, a round-up. I’ve read 88 books, a few more than the challenge I took this year, of 75 books. In the reading challenge that I took, I planned to read three books and I’ve read only one of those, Lolita. I…

A-Z Puzzle Book
When my husband and I were grocery shopping I saw this A-Z Puzzle Book on the supermarket’s shelves. It looked interesting and I thought it would be fun, so we got it. My husband and I did just shy of 20 puzzles from it and…
British History 1485-1603
Update on the post I published in October last year, about my reading list for University – British History 1485-1603. I studied this subject during the Michaelmas term and at the beginning of the Hilary term. The books you can see in the picture were…
Women in History
This is a round-up of the books I’ve read and I’ve enjoyed. The topic of the round-up is Women in History. I gave all the books at least 3 stars. For each recommendation I’m writing a very short description. All the books are non-fiction, of…
Regency Novels by Mary Balogh
Mary Balogh is my favourite regency novel author. So, I’m sharing today a round-up of the regency novels by Mary Balogh I’ve enjoyed last year and this year as well. Besides these books, I’ve also read the Bedwyn Saga, that boast 8 books. I’ve loved…
Books on Holocaust
I’ve read quite a few books on Holocaust, so I’m making a round-up of them, with a few details about each one and links to the reviews. In this round-up I included all the books I’ve read on Holocaust and I will update this post…
Pubs in and around the Yorkshire Dales by Paul Chrystal
Pubs in and around the Yorkshire Dales by Paul Chrystal sounds like a very interesting book, read just before the Summer, so I can pick up some pretty lovely locations to go to in our days out in the Dales. Who knows, I might create…
Mary Balogh
I’ve decided to make a special post about Mary Balogh and update here all the books I’m reading by her, as most of them are in series. It will be also easier for me to link to only one post and update this one instead…
The big book review 2018 Tag
I’ve made a post about the books I’ve read in 2018, but these questions are different. I did enjoy reading the answers Kezzie wrote on her blog, hence me answering to them as well. Also, very little information from the previous post is mentioned here…

It’s early January, so the perfect time to set up a new reading challenge. Last year I had a reading challenge of 30 books, that I’ve updated to 52 and again to 60. In the end I’ve read 85 books. This made me confident to…
My 2018 in Books

Allegory of the Cave by Plato
Allegory of the Cave by Plato was my favourite thing (and the only one I could remember) I learned at Philosophy in high-school. So, I wanted to read it again. It’s part of Plato’s Republic. It was hard to decide what to say about this…

Mary’s household tips & tricks by Mary Berry. Your guide to happiness in the home. I’ve made a post about the tricks I’ve learned from the book, see here. Now I’m going to talk about the book and why I think it would be a…
Lost in a Book Tag
I recently saw the Lost in a Book Tag on Helen’s blog, at teainthetub. and I thought I should give it a go. I’ve answered a few questions from this Lost in a Book Tag in the “about me” post, but not all of them.…
Brain Games for Dogs by Claire Arrowsmith
The main reason I gave it 2 stars is because the name of the book says Brain Games for Dogs. If the book would have had the name Brain Games for Puppies or for beginners, it would have been a 4-5 stars, without any doubt.…
Philippa Gregory
A couple of years ago I’ve discovered Philippa Gregory. I enjoyed the first book I’ve read written by her, so I’ve continued reading. Now I can say I’ve finished two series by her: The Cousins’ War and The Tudor Court. I though it would be…
