Hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words, which means I’ll be answering these questions:
This week’s topic is: Books I Was Reading On This Day Over the Last Ten Years (Stolen from Anne @ HeadFullofBooks) (This might be tricky if you don’t use a reading tracker like Goodreads, but the idea is to share what you were reading on August 11th of 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016. If you have no idea, pick a book you loved that you read at any time during each of the last ten years. And if you still have no idea, pick a book you loved that was published during each of the last ten years. Make this work for you!)
Happy Monday, book pandas! 🐼 I’m excited to be back with another Fantasy with Friends post today. Also, I’m so sorry if parts of this don’t make sense or if I’m more rambly than usual. I’m fallen ill and the medicine just hit me as I started writing 🤣
What is Fantasy with Friends?
Fantasy with Friends is a discussion meme hosted by Briana and Krysta on Pages Unbound. Questions are posed every Monday about fantasy, either as a genre as a whole or individual works. The yearly schedule is available on Pages Unbound so you can prepare way in advance! Don’t forget to leave a comment and link on the scheduled day so your post can be linked up. You can also tag @pagesunbound on Twitter and/or Bluesky!
Today’s Fantasy with Friends question: What fantasy plants have stuck in your imagination? A plant with magical properties or a plant a character uses in a potion? What memorable ways does nature feature in fantasy?
We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today.
I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading Swordheart by T. Kingfisher. I’ve actually got a few reads going on at the minute, but I’ve taken to reading this before bed every night for the past week. I’m not speeding through it, but enjoying it immensely when I read it. Halla and Sarkis have such great banter! 🤭
What book do you have in bed with you this Sunday?
Happy Friday book lovers! We’re back with another First Lines Friday, a weekly featurefor book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?Here are the rules:
Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
Finally… reveal the book!
First lines:
“Cannon fire before breakfast is obscene – and waking up to it is an atrocity.”
Do you recognize the book these first lines come from?
Happy Thursday, book pandas! I’m so sad that it’s been an age since I last did a community post. Life has been a lot over the past several months and I’ve completely dropped the ball with engaging and checking out other blogger’s posts. I’ve been trying to remedy that, but it’s taking time to get back into the groove of things. But here are some of the posts that I’ve really enjoyed reading this past 1+ month.
I hope you’re able to find some new blogs to follow, posts to enjoy, and maybe even books to add to your TBR! ✨📖 Happy Reading!📖✨
Hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words, which means I’ll be answering these questions:
This week’s topic is: Cover Freebie (Pick any topic related to book covers. You can make up your own topic or pick one from the list of previous ones!)
July… What happened in July? Honestly, I ain’t got a clue. It was my first month on a retainer contract (meaning I have 3-days of work per month) and “suddenly” finding myself with a heckuva lot more free time resulted in me getting very comfortable very quickly with doing nothing particularly productive every day. 😅 *big sigh* I guess you can say that I have a very lazy + avoidant personality, so I tend to really stick to my comfort zone, which means that I (mostly) allow myself to shove my head in the sand and just exist in ignorant bliss. Iam the question hound in the “on fire” comic strip turned meme where the house is burning down and the hound is sat at the table saying “this is fine” (at least for now).

In other news, well, there really isn’t much other news. I managed to be productive a few times over the past month by doing a spot of spring cleaning here and there, but otherwise, I’ve just been languishing the days away… I’m trying not to be too hard on myself cos this is a big life change and I’m very much a creature of comfort and routine, so it has messed me up a bit. But I hope that August will see a turn around at some point. 🙂 Here are some photos from gaming, bookstagram, book mail, and my catto. 🐈

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed finishing the final two short stories in the Magic & Mystery Collection. The sixth book is Battle of the Round House by Tananarive Due, an author that I’ve been keen to check out. The final book in the collection is The Cairndale Orphan by J. M. Miro. I don’t think I’ve heard of Miro before, but I’m keen to give them a read.
