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.

In today’s post I’m sharing a bit of a book haul with you. This is most of the books I’ve picked up this year (I’ve added a few more since lol) and I thought I would show you what I picked up. This is a mix of both brand new and preloved books.

Ready Player Two Book Review

15/06/2021

Today I’m back with another book review but this time I’m reviewing Ernest Cline’s sequel to ‘Ready Player One’, which is ‘Ready Player Two’. I’m sorry this one is quite late posting, I’ve been meaning to share it for weeks now but I’ve been sick on and off and just haven’t yet gotten around to posting it. But never fear you will now be able to read my thoughts on this subject.

If you read my review for ‘Ready Player One’ you will know that I really enjoyed it so ‘Ready Player Two’ had a lot to live up to when it came to being at the same level or better for me to enjoy it as much as the original. Spoiler it did live up to my expectations but let me tell you a bit more about it first.

‘Help Self’ By Tanya Hennessy Book Review

25/02/2021

Tanya Hennessy has to be one of my favourite Australian social media personalities and comedians, I find her extremely hilarious and when I watch her content or read one of her books, I know I’m in for a good laugh. But I also feel that she is very down to earth and quite relatable.

In this post I’ll be sharing my review of her new book ‘Help Self’. I loved her previous book ‘Am I Doing This Right’ which I have listened to a quite few times on Audio book, so naturally when I found out that she had a second one going to be released I made sure to add it to my wish list right away.
