It's that time again, friends. What I'm Reading Wednesday is upon us and there are some exciting reviews to come. Having finally finished Kate Mosse's Labyrinth (review coming your way tomorrow), I've been able to get down to the serious task of working my way through my growing To Read list. I've had some really excellent … Continue reading What I’m Reading Wednesday: Be Involved!
Hi hi pals! There are really two major benefits to the sudden onset of Spring: My flat is no longer the coldest place in the known universe. I can, after a 7 month winter, finally get back to enjoying what is possibly the best reading location I have ever had at my disposal. Ten … Continue reading Reading through Radio
Happy Sunday everyone! We've been enjoying some unexpected warmth here in the UK (obviously guaranteed to happen since I've had to spend the day inside at work). But I hope you've all managed to take advantage of it and that those elsewhere have had an equally fabulous day! This review is somewhat on the hoof … Continue reading Review: The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
Hello friends! Well, it's not all serious sticks over here at The Book Habit. And, in celebration of the weekend, I thought that I would pay homage to one of the literary greats. Yes, that's right.

For the young at heart or those who, like me, think the definition of a good time is journeying to America in a piece of … Continue reading Literary Excursion: A Day of Roald Dahl
Hi everyone! Despite the unrelenting cold, what a fantastically sunny day it has been. Unsurprisingly, my study schedule suffered a setback when I decided that such a rare day could not be spent cooped up in my little flat. Given that I exist on a student budget, it is problematic that virtually all of my … Continue reading Order and Chaos: Organising My Books
Evening all!

I picked up The Night Circus about a year ago and … Continue reading Review: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
My name is Laura and I am a book addict. My family first realised that I had a problem when, aged six, I would forgo consecutive nights of sleep in order to work my way through stacks of children's books.
