It’s Six For Sunday! Hosted by A Little But A Lot, this week’s prompt is favourite picture books. Luckily I have a toddler so I have been reading mainly picture books for the past 3 years!

Here is my list:

Spaghetti Hunters by Morag Hood (click for my review)

Animal Music by Julia Donaldson (click for my review)

Poppy and Sam’s Easter Egg Hunt

The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson (click for link to Goodreads)

The Tallest House on the Street (click for my review)

Teddy’s Night Lost In The Bush by Bruce Peardon

This was one of my favourites when I was a little girl. The pictures were all handpainted (according to my mum!) and are beautiful.

What are some of your favourites?

Happy Sunday everyone! Welcome to my Sunday post hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. It has been super busy on my blog because of the end of the month posts. I can’t believe it is now February! Where did that time go?! I have managed to get a good chunk of reading done and I hope to carry this on into next month! My TBR pile hasn’t really got smaller as I have been reading Blog Tour books and Library books… Next week I hope to finish a couple of Blog Tour books and the Library book that I have borrowed!

Also keep an eye out for my Blog Tour Book Review of A Death In Custody by T S Clayton tomorrow!

Here are my posts and other Blogger’s posts that I have enjoyed reading this week:

It’s Six For Sunday! Hosted by A Little But A Lot, this week’s prompt is favourite character arcs. I am not entirely sure what I would write for this, so I am concentrating on some of my favourite characters. Here are 6 characters that I have recently enjoyed reading about:

Olive Smith from The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

I loved her awkward persona that lead her into all sorts of difficulties! She needed to believe in herself more and I can certainly relate to that.

Carman from The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan

I loved the fact that even though her life wasn’t going in the direction that everyone expected of her (including herself), she was still able to hold her head up high and eventually achieve something that both she and everyone else could be proud of.

Meddelin Chan from Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Sutanto

I loved her humour and the scrapes that she got herself into. Things just seemed to happen around her that she couldn’t help or control.

Bridget Jones from Bridget Jones Diary by Helen Fielding

She is just an everyday person who you can relate to.

Joyce from The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

I love her kindness and her willingness for adventure. She follows Elizabeth’s lead with good humour and love.

Charlotte Gibson from Aloha Alibi by Jasmine Webb

A character who is just at the wrong place at the wrong time, yet manages to make the most of it and comes out stronger the other end.

Who are your favourite characters?

Book Review – Yes, No, Maybe So by Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed

Book Review – The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan

Can you believe that it is already the second Sunday Post of the year?! Once again time is flying past! Hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer, here are some of the things that I have been up to. I would particularly like to point out that I will no longer be doing Friday Wrap ups as well as Sunday Post because I feel that it is a bit of an overkill! I will instead include all my weekly goings on in the Sunday Post and at the end of the Month will do a Monthly Wrap Up. As you can see on a Friday I have decided to do a Friday Musings Post (in addition to First Line Friday because they are quite fun!) in which I will scour the Blogosphere and find past meme questions and incorporate them into a current post (linking back to the blog who set the meme).

Without further ado here are my weekly posts:
