DECEMBER 2020

So did you all have a good Christmas? Given the challenging circumstances? If nothing else I guess the lockdown gives us more opportunity to read. December has not been particularly eventful in the BookNerd household. Frankly even Christmas was just another day – albeit with a very nice roast dinner and way too much chocolate.

NOVEMBER 2020

How on earth is it December already?! ‘spose I’d better start thinking about the ‘C’ word! I hope you’re all doing ok. News just through that Covid-19 vaccinations are imminent, so things are looking up! So November has been another great reading month. I’ve read some really great books, although have only reviewed 3. Yeah,

OCTOBER 2020

So how was your October? All months/weeks/days seem the same at the minute, don’t they? I only managed 3 reviews this month but read 21 books. I also came across a list of ‘100 books to read before you die’. I believe this has come from Goodreads, but I could be wrong (I frequently am).

September 2020

It’s been an odd year so far, by anyone’s standards. Days dragging, yet we’re in October already! So how was your September? I’ve had a couple of weeks at my caravan, rarely speaking to a soul – what bliss! I’ve been very much in need of peace and quiet – time to be selfish. For

AUGUST 2020

September already! How did that happen? Time feels like a very peculiar concept right now. On the one hand this seems like the longest 5 months ever, and yet on the other September just snuck around the corner when surely it’s only 2 weeks ago we were in April. So, how are you all doing?

JULY 2020

How are you all doing? Did July bring any changes? I’ve still been working, but was lucky enough to have a week off when the weather was fabulous! Who needs to go abroad when you can spend a week in a caravan in Pagham? Ha ha!! Although I’ve managed a fair old amount of reading

JUNE 2020

Well, we are now half way through the year, and what a weird few months it’s been. I hope you’re all managing to stay safe. I haven’t done much over the last month, other than work and read. Thankfully I really do love my job, and reading is always a pleasure. As lockdown is starting

MAY 2020

May has been yet another month of tough times for pretty much everyone. I hope you’re all finding ways to keep your spirits up. I’ve just had a week of annual leave, planned to go and stay at my caravan, but lockdown prevented that. Instead I spent the week in the garden – reading. Weather

APRIL 2020

April 2020. What a month! For me, as for most people, this has felt the longest month ever. Life for us all has changed quickly and dramatically. I am not furloughed, I haven’t lost my job and I haven’t become ill. For all of those I am thankful. My job, however, has been heartbreaking. Each
