The Terror of Knowing

  • Discussion: Giving Gifts

    Bit of a different post today, something I’ve decided to call a ‘discussion’. And yes I do realise discussion implies some kind of back and forth exchange so, you know, PLEASE TELL ME YOUR OPINION ON THIS I GENUINELY WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT. Ok, enough of the capital letters, I’ll begin… Are you a…

  • December Favourites

    I have enjoyed quite a few things lately and I want a manner in which to gush about them in a validated forum that isn’t just Twitter. So here we have (drumroll please) my December Favourites. It’s a short list as I’ve been, well if not actually working on essays then pretending to be, working…

  • November Wrap-Up ¦ December TBR

    I don’t know whether you’ve noticed by now but I am rather terrible at actually sticking to TBR lists. Oh, I can make a good list along with the best of them, and I always have honourable intentions, but come the end of the month I look back on those good intentions and realise I…

  • T5W ¦ Re-Reads

    Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly project in which a prompt is given and bloggers and Booktubers respond accordingly. It’s a really simple, fun idea and one that I have participated in a couple of weeks back – here and here, if anyone’s at all interested. I don’t have time to film a video since there’s…

  • Friday Reads¦ 5th December 2014

    Omg, would you look at this, I did another Friday Reads! But this time in shiny video form, oooo aaah etc. etc. Keep expectations low, ignore the furrow in my brow that stayed there for the entire video, keep your fingers crossed that I’ll actually stick to a limited TBR here (past experience says otherwise).…

  • Reading During University

    This entire post is inspired by a video that’s stayed with me a lot, and that is Kristina Horner’s How to Make Time for Reading in College. Equally useful was this video I saw later by PeruseProject called How to Read More During College/School. I suggest you check them both out, not only because they…

  • Friday Reads ¦ 21st November 2014

    So since I am feeling very ugh about my face today I have decided not to participate in making a Friday Reads video. For a few weeks now I’ve wanted to jump on the bandwagon because, as I understand it, these videos are intended to be very casual and quick to make and watch. So…

  • Remember, remember, the… tenth of November?

    Remember, remember, the… tenth of November?

    So, as you might have surmised, the Letters to October series barely lasted half the month before I realised my life was very, very mundane. With very little worthy of note going on it seemed pointless and a waste of time to continue chattering about my days when, on some days, I did nothing more…

  • September/October TBR Video

    You know that period in which I was musing on the idea of trying out being a booktuber? Well, at which stage of making videos about books can you actually call yourself that? Is it when you make your first haul? When you compile your first TBR list? When you make your first review? I’m not entirely…

    September TBR

    It’s 1st September and we all know what that means! Yes, yes, we all have to choke down sobs at the realisation that not only are we once again not boarding the Hogwarts Express for another year of fun and friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but we are also very much past the…
