  • Friday Reads | 7th October

    Well, it’s that time of the week again – Friday Reads! The time when I realise I haven’t done quite as much reading as I would like in these past few days and so I foolishly try to claim I’m going to make up for it by reading, reading, reading this weekend. I inevitably won’t…

    Tag | The ‘I Messed Up’ Book Tag

    Today I bring you a book tag, the fantastic ‘I Messed Up’ Book Tag which I saw recently over at Thrice Reads. And without any more of my usual preamble, let’s get started on the tag… A Character Appearance You Misread or Imagined Differently? Probably most of the Lord of the Rings characters – although,…

    Victorian October #victober | My TBR

    Throughout October a readathon is happening called Victorian October or #victober if you’d like to use the catchy hashtag. Much like Ronseal, it does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s a readathon in which people will be reading works of literature from the Victorian period. By Victorian we are meaning works written…

    Life Update 2.0

    Well, my friends, I am officially living in Liverpool. I am officially working in Birchwood, meaning I have the delight of a 20-minute busy train journey every morning and evening. Fun! But, hey, standing up for that long and walking 20-ish minutes to/from the station must be doing me some good. As far as moving…

    September Favourites

    Last month’s Favourites post was a reasonably long effort.

No, not Bake Off, the other one – the one where celebrities…

  • Tag | Music Tag

    This week’s tag post for Tag Thursdays (yes I’m trying to coin a phrase) features music. I don’t really talk much about music on here, mostly because although I listen to music I’m not at all “into” it – I’m not an expert and never will be and, to be honest, I’m fine with that.…
