Wrap Up | March 2019
Read more: Wrap Up | March 2019Welcome one, welcome all, to my March Wrap Up! Two important and entirely unrelated events happened in March – Captain Marvel was released and I went to hear V.E.

Wrap Up | February 2019
Read more: Wrap Up | February 2019Welcome one, welcome all, to my February Wrap Up. February has been a bit of an odd month. It felt like the month where not much happened, all in all.

Wrap Up | January 2019
Read more: Wrap Up | January 2019Welcome one, welcome all, to my January Wrap Up. January is, quite rightly, often portrayed as either THE BEST or THE WORST – there’s nothing inbetween.

V.E. Schwab’s J.R.R. Tolkien Lecture at Pembroke College
Read more: V.E. Schwab’s J.R.R. Tolkien Lecture at Pembroke CollegeLast week, I was fortunate enough to have friends who would indulge my blatant fangirling over one of my favourite authors enough to plan an entire trip to Oxford to indulge this whim. What am I talking about, you ask? Why, V.E. Schwab’s Tolkien Lecture given at Pembroke College, Oxford. Of course. An annual lecture,…

Read more: Feature | The Bookish Savings JarWhilst taking part in my very first #SundayYA Twitter chat, I stumbled across a brilliant idea via Charlie (@charlieinabook), originally courtesy of Aoife (@prettyPPD) and Steph (@eenalol) , whereby you put £1 in a jar for every book read. ‘My oh my,’ I thought, ‘even if I only just about reached my Goodreads goal, that…
