Vuelio Top 10 UK Literature Blogs 2019


To be honest I still can't quite get my head around this but I'm very excited to announce that Feeling Fictional has made it into the Vuelio's list of Top 10 UK Literature blogs for the third year running! I still don't quite know how my little corner of the internet ended up making the list - especially considering how fantastic all the other blogs included are! - but I'm very honoured to be there and it's thanks to all of you who visit my blog and read my reviews.

You can find the full list of blogs on the Vuelio website here and like I said already it really is a fantastic list so it's well worth checking out some of the others on there (although I expect you're already following most if not all of them!).

I wanted to say a huge thank you once again to everyone who visits my blog, when I started this back in 2010 I never expected to find such a fantastic community of supportive bloggers, authors and publicists. I definitely didn't think I'd still be blogging nearly 10 years later and I had no idea how many new friends I'd make along the way. Thank you all for helping to keep blogging fun for all these years & thank you to Vuelio for including me in the list again!

Vuelio Top 10 UK Literature Blogs 2018


Last year I was incredibly shocked and honoured to be included in the Vuelio 2017 list of Top 10 UK Literature Blogs, I'm still not quite sure how that happened if I'm honest! So I was even more shocked to receive an email a couple of days ago to say Feeling Fictional has made it into the Vuelio 2018 Top 10 UK Literature Blogs list too! You can find the full list of blogs on the Vuelio website here and once again it's a fabulous list so I'm very excited to have been included again.

Again I'd like to thank everyone who takes the time to visit my blog and read my reviews. I've made so many fabulous friends in the blogging community over the last 9 years, had the chance to meet some wonderful authors both in person and online and I've met a lot of wonderful publicists who have helped feed my book addiction with a whole heap of review copies. Book blogging is a labour of love but it's totally been worth all the effort so thank you all for your support! And thank you to Vuelio for including me in this list!

Vuelio Top 10 UK Literature Blogs 2017


So something pretty cool (and incredibly shocking!) happened a couple of days ago. Vuelio announced their 2017 list of Top 10 UK Literature Blogs and I still can't quite figure out how but somehow I ended up being included! You can see the full list on the Vuelio website here and there are some really fantastic blogs on there so I'm honoured to be included amongst them.

I've been blogging at Feeling Fictional for nearly eight years now and sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming but I can't quite imagine life without it and I've met so many wonderful bloggers, publicists and authors since I started, many who have now become great friends. I just wanted to thank each and every person who visits my blog, interacts with me here, on Goodreads or on Instagram or who helps to supply my book addiction with review copies! I don't think I'd have kept this up for so long without all your support along the way and I definitely wouldn't have made a list like this one :o)

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Blog Award & Contest by Gini Koch


As a massive fan of Gini Koch's Katherine "Kitty" Katt series I couldn't resist entering the fantastic contest she currently has on her blog.  If you'd like to enter too you can find out all the details you need on her blog here.

I was given the award by Gini Koch so consider me on Team Hook!

As part of the award I have to nominate 5 other bloggers, the hardest part of this was narrowing it down to just 5 because I follow a lot of awesome blogs!  I narrowed it down to bloggers I know who love adult novels and who I'm sure would love this series.
  1. First I had to tag Larrissa at Welcome to Larissa's Bookish Life, I know she is a massive fan of the series as she is the person who introduced me to it.
  2. Next we have the lovely Minx from Loose Knickers and Window Lickers, I'm not sure if she has started the series yet but I'm pretty sure she'd love Martini just as much as I do!
  3. Then there is the fab Jen from That's What I'm Talking About who tends to have quite similar tastes as me when it comes to romance
  4. I couldn't forget Sparklybearsy from Ramblings of a Book Bitch - she has added plenty of books to my wish list and I know she'd have a thing for the HAWT A/C aliens
  5. Last but by no means least is Amanda from StoryWings who often ends up reading similar books to me and I have a feeling would love this series
Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that I might actually win something :o)  There are some amazing prizes up for grabs but I really have my eye on an ARC of book 4 in the series Alien Proliferation, it's going to be a long wait until the December release otherwise!

Comments & Sunshine Award

I just wanted to write a quick post apologising for getting so behind replying to all of your comments.  I think most of you already know that I split up with my fiance in July so the last month has been really difficult for me & I ended up getting way behind on blogging.  Things are still difficult but I'm surviving and I've finally managed to catch up with the comments you've all left.  I'm still behind on visiting blogs and have probably missed quite a few posts where people have reviewed the some of the same books as me.  I'm gradually working my way through & adding links to my reviews as I find them but if any of you have reviewed the same books as me please feel free to leave a comment on my review with your link & I'll get it added for you :o)

I've also removed word verification to make it easier for you all to post comments.  Since most of the spam comments I receive seem to be on older posts I have added moderation for comments on posts that are over 2 weeks old but I think this new system will be much easier for everyone & save you all time when you want to comment.  I'll see how it goes & may change things again later if there are any problems.

I just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you who visit my blog & to everyone who has ever commented.  Although I hadn't been replying over the last month I did read every comment and they all helped to brighten my day.  I have now replied to everyone so if you'd asked a question & were waiting for a response then I apologise for the delay & promise I'll keep on top of things from now onwards :o)

As a thank you for your patience & support I'd like to share the Sunshine Award with all of my blog readers:


Thank you to Larissa from Welcome to Larissa's Life for sharing this award with me.  I'm not sure if there are any rules for this award but on this occasion I'd just like to share some love for all my lovely followers :o)
