Hello, book lovers!

How are you? Welcome to the Weekend Coffee Share, a blog hop by the lovely Diana over at Part Time Monster. Every weekend we get together for virtual coffees and a little casual chat. How has this past week been for you?

If we were having coffee today, we’d meet up at a café in Hamm and I’d invite you to join me and my cousin Fabian at our table outdoors. We’ve got glorious sunshine here today, clear blue skies and temperatures around 25°C.

We’ve had a great day, chatting for six hours straight about books, blogs, British TV and everything in between. Could you keep up with us? We’d not seen each other in over a year, but we’ve been chatting nearly every day. I love having a cousin who is as enthusiastic about literature, the English language, and multiple fandoms as I am. I’m hoping Fabian will join us in a few weeks for his own Weekend Coffee Share as we’ve been discussing him setting up his own blog.

If we were having coffee today, I’d tell you that my bestie has had a baby girl this week! Now I just have to book a trip to the UK to meet the little munchkin. Anotehr friend also had a baby girl – on the same day. It’s been a week for birthdays, apparently.

Reading-wise, I’ve managed to get through a few NetGalley books I’ll be reviewing. I’ve made a start with Last Tango in Buenos Aires and a teen poetry collection called Leave This Song Behind.

I’ve also managed to come up with a proper blog plan. It has taken quite a while, but I do believe I now have a system. Over the next few days and weeks you’ll notice a few more changes to this blog, more blog hops and features and a somewhat regular schedule concerning upcoming reviews.

If we were having coffee today, we’d still be enjoying the sunshine. It’s the first time this year I actually got a full day’s worth of sunshine and summer weather. Maybe a cool drink might be a better idea than coffee today. Check out the other Weekend Coffee Sharers, I’m sure they’d love to see you too!

Thank you for having coffee with me. Same time, next week?
