I can’t believe we’re coming to the end of 2019! Which means it’s about time we start wrapping up the year… I saw over on Bookcorps (the original creator of the tag) and thought it might be a fun roundup, especially since I don’t do wrap ups.
What’s your favourite book review?
Not gonna lie, I had a lot of fun writing my review for Woke 😉
What’s your favourite discussion post?
I really liked doing a couple of posts on free speech this year- especially Calling Out Call Out Culture and *All the Warnings*. Both of them were really overdue, particularly cos I’d spent so long doing research on the latter.
What’s your favourite fun post?
(By “fun post” I mean a post that doesn’t fall under a particular category like reviews, discussions or tags do.)
I’ve written a few, but I had the most fun doing the Most Pretentious Post You Will Ever Read
What’s your favourite book recommendation post?
I loved doing recs based on Hogwarts Houses. I even roped my sister, the Monkey Baby, into helping me out with her Hufflepuff perspective for part 2!
What’s your favourite book/bookish photo?
I really don’t have one! I’m not much good at bookish photos! So, here’s a random selection of book porn…
All of these are well worth reading by the way!
What’s your favourite original idea/blog post?
Let’s be real, I liked taking the piss out of how some people read reviews, aka my post how not to read reviews aka poking some trolls under the bridge 😉
What’s your absolute favourite blog post you wrote this year?
I’m really glad I took the plunge on a few posts this year, but I really enjoyed doing my defence of fairy tales and classics, cos sometimes our most beloved stories need defending from Nincompoops!
Have you reached any blogging achievements this year?
I don’t think I hit any WordPressy official targets, but I did hit 5500 followers this year 😊 Which I’m immensely grateful for! So thank you to everyone who’s been following along this year!
I’m not tagging anyone, since I wasn’t tagged (also I’m being lazy 😉 ), but please feel free to do it if you like!
Man, I keep seeing more and more “end of the year” type of posts. It is coming too fast! Time just needs to slow down, for goodness sake…

Careful. If you look too closely, you’ll start noticing end of the DECADE posts as well…

Phhh, who has time for THOSE?
Actually, I wasn’t even thinking along those lines. That’s not a bad subject to muse on though. Probably not right at new years, save it for late January or February…

Don’t know how I’d rate any of these posts except to say how much I enjoy reading your blog even if I don’t choose to comment. But I have to say, I love all the Orang Art – that monkey can make art!

You have put up the photos of three of the books I desperately wanted to read ever since they were published. So thanks for the reminder but I hope you know that I love all of your posts because they are either well thought out or fun. Or sometimes they are both! Bonus! 😂💞💞

Ha! I missed it the first time around! I didn’t even know that “floccinaucinihilipilification” was a real word LOL.
Fun post as usual! And congrats on hitting 5500 followers 😮.
