I've talked about self-care a lot on this blog because it genuinely is a topic that means so much to me. Only a few years ago we didn't even have a sufficient term for being kind to ourselves, which made talking about this topic pretty tricky. Thanks to other wonderful bloggers, influencers and social media [...]
I read an awful lot. As I mentioned in a post a long time (this one here) 2017 was the first time I actually recorded every book I read. I've stepped it up a little bit this year and finally started rating my books too. I watch a lot of booktubers (that's people who talk [...]
For a period of time all I read were self - help books. I can't remember what one got me started, but I was hooked within no time. I really enjoy getting advice from others and a particular favourite mentor is a woman who is slightly older than me. Books can be an amazing way [...]
Hello and welcome to a new series that I'm attempting to produce for this little blog! As you might have guessed, if you've been here before or follow me on Instagram, I love books. But as much as I love them I can't find a decent way to bring them to this site. I'm going to [...]
I have always considered myself to be boring. For the majority of my life, I have been a (fairly) quiet, studious person who likes my own company. I enjoy reading, as you know, and staying indoors - like any stereotypical introvert would be proud to share. As I explained in a recent post, where I [...]
It's been a while since I've done one of these posts, which are basically favourites but I don't do them as often as everyone else. In fact, my last one was way back in November 2016! So it's certainly about time I do another one. There's been such a mixture of things I've been loving recently [...]
According to this list I made on my phone, I read 43 books this year. That's insane! The majority of them were rereads and, I'll be honest, I did abandon a couple - but as someone who loves books an ridiculous amount this makes me so happy. Anyway, because this was the first year I [...]
As I explained in a recent post I have fallen back in love with reading, books and all that good stuff. Which is wonderful, of course, but it has resulted in me wanting to buy more books now I'm back in the loop which isn't so wonderful for my bank balance. Nonetheless, one of my [...]
It may be pretty obvious, as I have this little blog and did I creative degree, but writing is something that I really love. When I was a child, I would spent hours scribbling in notebooks and typing up stories, journal entries and poems. I was never afraid to share my work and on several [...]
I love reading. It's been a hobby of mine for as long as I can remember and I love nothing more than getting lost in another world built by someone's words. It's something I even talk about occasionally on here too. If you're also a lover of books then you'll understand the upset and torment [...]
