As a kid, I used to look forward to my book club every week. The cookies, the cakes, the films, and of course, the books. I read so much more wildly as a kid, eager to eat-up whatever there was, whatever the libarian who ran the book club could find that had enough copies in … More Starting a Book Club
Okay, okay, so before we get started can we JUST discuss how is it summer already? I mean, I swear this time last year it was still January. It’s freaking me out how fast time is passing, but then again it’s closer to the summer holidays so YAY. But, but, on ANOTHER note, confession time: … More Burial Rites by Hannah Kent
I always feel like I’m going to have tonnes of time over summer to chill and do the things I’ve been putting off all year.Like New Years Resolutions or exercise & diets. For some reason though, it never seems to happen, I never seem to tackle these tasks. OH WELL. Something I DO like to … More Summer TBR

I’m sitting in my living room with the sun against my back. It’s mid-afternoon and I’m full of actual full-fat coca-cola and half a kinda bueno. I’m sleepy, but so excited to be writing again. I’m alone for the rest of the day, and tonight. I’t feels like time is dragging and I have all … More Life Update: May
I’m writing this from Caffe Nero whilst staring out the window at the POURING rain. Way-to-go, weather. It doesn’t feel very much like summer right now. It feels like that hot, glorious weather last week didn’t even happen. Like it wasn’t even REAL. The sky is grey, I’ve had to wear a hoody and a … More Summer Plans
I’ve never really considered any place ‘a home’ since leaving for University. That might sound sad, but it really isn’t. Sure, a part of me always wanted that ‘safe-place’ to go back to, but secretly I always enjoyed that freedom of not reeeaaallyyy ever being tied down anywhere. I don’t know if it’s because my parents … More A New Home
I’ve been waiting to read this book for so long, so much so that the actual urge kind of became subdued, just a niggle on my fingertips everytime I reached to my bookshelf. I would scan the cover, think ‘Oh, that’s pretty’, and just move onto something else. Why? I don’t know. I think it was mainly … More Book Review: Horns
I read this book back in the first few months after leaving university. I can’t remember when exactly, and I can’t place a particular reason why this book stayed with me (rather fitting if you’ve read the book), but I remember the story and it’s characters making an impact with me. We follow the relationship … More Book Review: Every Contact Leaves A Trace
It’s been a while since my last post. I haven’t meant it to be, but I’ve been dealing with things, and I had to take a step back from writing, blogging and being me in general. In doing so, I’ve realised just exactly what I want out of life, and I’ve started to make some … More Life Update: March
