Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have had a lovely day with a little bit of teaching, reading and book buying! I only went into my local bookshop to have a browse but I ended up buying 3 books.
I really want to dedicate November to nonfiction books so my TBR list for Autumn is a mix of fiction and nonfiction.

Goodreads Monday is now hosted by Budget Tales Book Club. All you have to do is show off a book from your TBR that you’re looking forward to reading.
Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week.
My chosen book this week is actually the next book in a series I have been reading. This whole series has been sat on my TBR since I bought them all in one go. I love this series and I hope to read the next in the series soon.
Persepolis Rising by James S. A. Corey
An old enemy returns.
In the thousand-sun network of humanity’s expansion, new colony worlds are struggling to find their way. Every new planet lives on a knife edge between collapse and wonder, and the crew of the aging gunship Rocinante have their hands more than full keeping the fragile peace.
In the vast space between Earth and Jupiter, the inner planets and belt have formed a tentative and uncertain alliance still haunted by a history of wars and prejudices. On the lost colony world of Laconia, a hidden enemy has a new vision for all of humanity and the power to enforce it.
New technologies clash with old as the history of human conflict returns to its ancient patterns of war and subjugation. But human nature is not the only enemy, and the forces being unleashed have their own price. A price that will change the shape of humanity — and of the Rocinante — unexpectedly and forever…

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I had meant to post this post near the beginning of the month but I fell behind.
I have been really enjoying my challenge and even though I doubt I will finish it this year it has significantly lowered my TBR pile which I am happy about. I am definitely going to do a similar challenge next year but next time I will try and choose shorter books as most of the books on my current list are huge! Here is my original list.
I am very far behind with the challenge but I have managed to read 10 books so far this year and I have 30 pages left of book 11.
Books I have read
14 books to go!

Happy Friday Everyone!
I hope everyone has some fun plans for the weekend. I have chosen a very short poem today but I quite like it.
My chosen poem this week is by the French Romantic writer and politician, Victor Hugo (1802-1885).
Be Like The Bird
Be like the bird, who
Pausing in his flight
On a limb too slight
Feels it bend beneath him
Yet sings,
Knowing he has wings.
Victor Hugo

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have spent a lot of time today working on my Etsy shop which has been really nice as I really enjoy making bookmarks and creating new things for the shop.
Here are some of the latest products to land in the shop.
Blind Date with a Book and TBR Tickets
The TBR Tickets are definitely the most popular item in the shop so I thought it might be nice to have a Blind Date with a Book option as well. It is always nice getting a mystery book to add to your TBR pile.
The Bee bookmarks have been on the Etsy shop for a while but the three charm bookmark is a new addition and is proving very popular.
The Treble Clef Bookmark has just been put up. I made one of these for a private order and the customer was really pleased with it so I thought I would make some more for the Etsy shop.
The Halloween bookmarks are out in force on the Etsy site and more are going to be added soon.
I will be posting more Etsy updates soon as I have a lot more products planned!

I hope everyone has had a good day. I have had a busy day teaching but because I have been at home teaching I have been reading and drinking tea between lessons which has been wonderful.
