Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne | Book Review

05/07/2023

Being a longtime fan of science fiction, reading some of Jules Verne’s works has been on my reading bucket list for quite some time, which is why I decided to add ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ and 20,000 Leagues under the Sea’ to my reading list. Though I have seen the modern movie adaptation of ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ I still really had no idea what to expect when I actually read the book.

2021 Reading Challenge – Conclusion and Plans for the New Year

14/01/2022

I’m so behind with posting this conclusion to my 2021 Reading Challenge, honestly, I’ve been putting it off because I didn’t know what I wanted to write or include in this. I have found that quarterly check-ins don’t really work for me though, both of the reading challenges that I have done in the last couple of years I’m good with one maybe two and then I don’t keep it up, oops. Anyway, in today’s post, I’m going to go through how many prompts I managed to tick off ( I did more than I thought I would) and what I read, maybe include a few thoughts and links to any book reviews.
