Dear Flynn

Dear Flynn,

Six weeks. Six whole weeks of you - where has that time gone? It has been the most challenging six weeks of my life, with so much to learn and adapt to. I had all the best intentions that you were going to slot into my life, not the other way around - of course I'd still be reading a book a week, why wouldn't I just go out at the drop of a hat, there's no way I'm giving up my lazy Sunday mornings. Wrong. For someone so small, you've got a lot of pull over your dad and I. And to be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way. You've taught me so much in just six weeks, and I'm sure the lessons won't stop here.

Best Middlegrade Books of 2020

As well as a great selection of adult novels, I read more middle grade novels this year. As a primary school teacher, I love reading children's novels to, hopefully, recommend titles to my students to help promote a love of reading. I've read some fabulous ones this year, but I have picked my three absolute favourites to share with you.

Best Books of 2020

2020 has been a fantastic year for me, reading wise. I've read more books this year than ever before, and a few of them have been amazing, standout reads! It wouldn't be right for us to leave 2020 behind without me sharing these titles with you. If you haven't read any of these yet, I would thoroughly recommend you pick them up in the New Year.

Christmas Book Haul 2020

I love gifting books for Christmas and birthdays, and I equally love receiving books from people too. This year, I was really lucky to receive four books for Christmas, all of which I'm really excited for. They're all great additions to my bookshelves.
