I'm slightly terrified by the fact that it's already November but I'm also extremely excited because that means this time next month it'll be entirely socially acceptable to be singing Christmas carols. I also had a great month because I hardly bought any books (actually, I bought none) so clearly October was a success. Although, … Continue reading October Wrap-Up! || 2016

Welcome back to Wednesday! Sheesh, I've had a busy day so far. I've officially got my visa sorted for working in the US next year which is super exciting! I've been out for lunch, I've smashed out a book review (for Blood for Blood, going up tomorrow) and I'm going to attempt to write an … Continue reading Wishlist Wednesday [#34]
Waiting on Wednesday is just getting cruel now - I'm basically not buying any books for a long time so I just get to sit here and sadly eat chocolate whilst I admire all the beautiful books that I won't by, *sobs*. On another, I've decided I'm going to try and read 15 books in … Continue reading Waiting on Wednesday [#46]
You might be somewhat surprised to see me doing a TBR post - I have a general rule that I don't make TBRs. HOWEVER, since I have reassessed my situation I've decided I need to have a self-inflicted intervention and make a TBR. And you have the absolute pleasure today of seeing the result of … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: November TBR
I have been so good this month. Somebody please give me a pat on the back. Be prepared to see how small the non-e-book part of this haul is. I've literally never bought so few books in my life. You may worship me now. There have been a few books given away (e-books) on various … Continue reading October Book Haul! || 2016
*tears of joy* Guess who turned 1 today? ME! Well, not me, obviously I'm at least 3 years old - but Upside-Down Books is officially one year old. Naw. I'd love to say that I'm celebrating in style by offering a giveaway but going on adventures such as leaving reality to work in Disney World leave … Continue reading Just Around the Riverbend: Blogoversary
Despite having other tags that people have actually tagged me to do, I'm apparently going to continue just sabotaging existing tags that I have NOT been tagged in, and doing them instead. This one is fitting though, right? I saw Jesse the Reader do this tag a few days ago and thought well yes, I … Continue reading The Halloween Book Tag
Welcome back! I hope you're all having a fabulous day today. The exciting this is that there's actually sun and warmth here today in Perth (although I say that without having actually gone outside - oh hush, you know you all do it). So what better a way than to spend your morning drooling over … Continue reading Wishlist Wednesday [#33]
I am so near the end of semester now. I can taste it. Practically just one more week to go now and oh boy is it hard to keep going. I thought I'd've whizzed through a bunch of books by now, but to tell you the truth I've hardly read any. Don't worry! That'll change … Continue reading Waiting on Wednesday [#45]
