Waiting on Wednesday [#44]

~ Kirstie Ellen ~ 5 Comments

Is anyone else positively gasping for Christmas? It's just about the only thing I can THINK of at the moment. Which is crazy because it's mid-October but boy oh boy do I love Christmas. I cannot wait to have oodles of time to lounge about and read. Not mention reading some of these spectacular books … Continue reading Waiting on Wednesday [#44]

Top Ten Tuesday: Back in the Day

~ Kirstie Ellen ~ 8 Comments

It would seem that I'm entirely unable to actually stick to the topic for Top Ten Tuesday. Not only this week have I given up the pretence of racking my brains trying to think of appropriate books, but I've flat out created by own list to make. Because what fun are rules if you actually … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Back in the Day

Oh look! Another book tag. I'm on a roll. I wasn't actually tagged to do this (but pssht, who needs to be tagged to do anything?) but if I could date a website, it'd be Goodreads, so OF COURSE I had to do the tag.

It may be a good way into October, but I'm here to share my September book haul with you. Currently, at this point in writing, I'm actually not sure how many books I accumulated last month. My gut instinct is that this month should be a smaller haul. But, you know, if you've been here a … Continue reading September Book Haul! || 2016

~ Kirstie Ellen ~ 5 Comments

Today I'm bringing  you a terribly exciting subscription box. Lit-Cube is an American, bookish subscription company and if this box is anything to go by, they're seriously amazing. I wish I could order from them again and again, but alas, international shipping is nasty.
