Do you ever read outside the house? I always have done on public transport or audiobooking while walking, but this summer I’m making an active choice to head to my favourite coffee place at least once a week and spending some time reading there. It’s really helping my my MH, and it feels so much more motivating when I specifically go somewhere TO read. I love it! . . On a related note, spending my days reading Greek plays, Myth retellings, and being able to class it as productive research is the BEST feeling 😭🙌🏻 that and the added fun of #MythTakeReads is really getting me through the summer. The joys of reading, eh? . . #bookstagram #greekmyth #greekmythretelling #books #booktube #booktuber #bookblog #bookblogger #bookish #booksandcoffee #reader #reading #circe #madelinemiller

Are you a fan of readathons? ✨ I feel like I have quite a few readathon related updates! It’s funny because I didn’t used to like them, and now I LOVE them! So much so... . . I’m co-hosting a readathon with @beigepages as part of #mythtakereads!! I have a whole video announcement to explain bingo board challenges, point scoring systems and the lot, so head to the link in my bio for that! 🙌🏻 we’re both so so excited about this, so please do join us if you can! In August I’m also planning on taking part in the FemmeFanTale readathon hosted by @jeansthoughts and @jill.scott.9 too, so I’m super excited to build a TBR from all the prompts both from ours and theirs! . . As for the readathon I’m taking part in NOW, I’m about to finish my FIFTH book for @the.book.junkie.trials! I’ve been reading so quickly lately and I’m THRILLED. Let’s hope the momentum keeps up for August! . . Are you taking part in any readathons at the minute? Are you planning to take part in any for August? Let me know! . . #bookstagram #mythtakereads #mythtakereadathon #femmefantale #thebookjunkietrials #readathon #books #booktube #booktuber #bookblog #bookblogger #bookish #bookworm #reader #reading #mythretelling #circe #madelinemiller

I’m starting to think that maybe I should just wait until all the books are out in a series before I begin to read it 🙈 I’m SO BAD at continuing series, and I’m making an effort to change that by reading the sequels straight after from now on. As for now, it seems Song of Sorrow has been pushed back AGAIN. I had hoped to read it this month but I don’t know if I’ll get chance. Hopefully I can still squeeze it in! I’m annoying myself now 😂 Are there any sequels you seem to just keep pushing back? #bookstagram #books #bookish #bookseries #bookblog #bookblogger #booktube #booktuber #bookworm #reader #reading #tbr

✨ The joy of starting a new book ✨ What are you reading this weekend? I’ll be reading The Furies by Katie Lowe, which I’m starting right now! . . Also, my June Wrap Up will be going live on my channel in a few hours, so keep an eye out!

[gifted] Where’s one place you NEED to visit, at some point in your life? Reading Ancient Greek literature and mythologies has made me long to visit Greece one day! The very thought of walking through places I recognise only in stories, of seeing ancient ruins and trying to fathom the society that created them...I need it, one day. I can feel it pulling at me and I just KNOW that if I can manage it, I’ll be visiting Greece a fair few times in my future. . . The lovely folks at @mapiful contacted me about sending one of their maps my way, and I have to admit I was way too excited for it 🙈 But what to create? I haven’t travelled to many places so far, and felt no particular need to make one for a place I’d been. So why not create one for a place I long to visit one day? Now I have this map sat above my desk, a reminder of the future travel plans I have to look forward to. A memorial of sorts to the place that produced the literature and mythologies that rule my life now. With my studies gradually turning to focus on Greek myth and the co-hosting of #mythtakereads, Greece never feels quite so far. Hopefully it won’t be too long before I get to fulfill that hope and this gorgeous map will become a reminder of the trips I went on ✨💚. . Thank you Mapiful for sending this my way! . If you want to create your own map, I have the discount code SUNNY10 that you folks can use - valid until the end of the month! . . #bookstagram #mapiful #bookish #books #greekmyth #ancientgreece #ancientgreekliterature #reader #reading #bookbucketlist #booktube #booktuber #bookblog #bookblogger

• My July TBR! • I don’t usually create a TBR because I’m so bad at sticking to them (any fellow mood-readers here?), but this month I’ll be taking part in @the.book.junkie.trials readathon so I just had to make one! I’ll be VERY surprised if I manage to get to all of these - the first five (from left to right) are a must, but the rest are for if I have some spare time to squeeze them in. But fingers crossed, I’ll get through most of these - if not all - because they’re all fantasy and mythology books that I’ve been meaning to get to for ages! First stop is my reread of Circe for #mythtakereads. I’m annotating and listening to the audiobook this time round and loving it already! . .
