Finishing the Simon Snow Series, not being home & MORE | what's going on

Hi Everyone!

I'm back! It almost feels like all my posts start in a similar fashion nowadays.....something along the lines of "I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I'm back!". After not having been in England for 5 weeks I am finally home, and getting ready for Year 11 (very scary!). I've had a crazy summer, I've been travelling, seeing family, working at a sailing club.....it's been pretty intense! I've not had that much time for reading (or blogging) but I have read some fantastic books that I absolutely can't wait to tell you all about. 

The first book I finished this summer was one I read while on work experience, so I'm not sure if it really counts - but I desperately want to tell you about it! It's the whirlwind ending to the Simon Snow trilogy, called Any Way The Wind Blows. 

I don't really want to give too much away for the two previous books, but this one rounds off the series so beautifully. It was an absolutely fabulous read, and a must for anyone who's read the other two books in the trilogy. This is one of those trilogies where the books follow on from each other, so I recommend reading them in order, starting with Carry On and Wayward Son before getting to Any Way The Wind Blows. It's a truly magical trilogy and I can't wait to reread it all right from the beginning - I somehow just can't get enough of Simon Snow!

I also finished a book this morning which I am absolutely in love with and can't WAIT to tell you about it in another post.....hint: the title is the first line of an address, it's an epistolary book that was also made into a film, and the correspondance really happened. It also talks about a lot of books! Any ideas welcome in the comments 👀

I managed to acquire a total of five books over the holidays too, so I will be writing about them in a book haul coming your way very soon! 

Another thing I just wanted to mention, is that I'm not feeling as motivated to blog as usual, so I'm not sure how regular my posts will be over the next few months. I've been thinking about other ways to share bookish content though so stay tuned for that!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post, I know it's a bit of a mess! Let me know what you've been reading recently, and if you can guess the book that I'll be reviewing next! Happy reading, writing, creating or whatever you get up to in your free time! :)
