    The other week I was at home and sorting out one of the many boxes of books I have there, when I stumbled across a few gems that I thought would be interesting to share with you today. If you’re like me, then you’re always looking for something new to read. Hopefully these may catch Read more

    Happy Sunday people! Today is a totally different post to anything I have done before on this blog- as you can tell from the title, it’s a book haul. I love books but I don’t often like to spend a lot of money on them (as a poor student I often feel too guilty, ha!). Read more
