I'm back with another book review! I've probably mentioned it enough on this blog, but this year my reading goal was to read 50 books (I'll potentially read more but, with the slight hangover I had on January 1st, I thought 50 was a good starting point). So far, I haven't made a sizeable dent… Continue reading Book Review: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

Book Review: Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
This year, for the first time ever, I set myself a Goodreads goal to read 50 books this year (this is obviously with the hope that I'll read more but we'll see). So far, I'm five books in having read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, Emma by Jane Austen , Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Living my Best… Continue reading Book Review: Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
What I watched in January
I thought I'd do something a little bit different on the blog this year, a post all about the movies I've watched each month (I'd include TV shows in there as well but I can't for the life of me remember what I've watched TV wise!). January is practically made for sitting around a TV,… Continue reading What I watched in January
Monthly wrap up: January
Tomorrow it's the first of February. As most people probably say, I'm glad to see the back of January. It reared it's ugly head and I was confronted by the January blues from the offset. It was the month of new beginnings, New Years resolutions and new doubts creeping in. JobsI started a new, part… Continue reading Monthly wrap up: January
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
If you don't know already, I started a Classics Challenge this year. I actually miss reading classic books so, with that in mind, I made it my mission to read several classic books over the course of 2020. So far I've read Little Women and Emma . Last week, I finished another of Jane Austen's… Continue reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
A Trip To Chester
Everyone has a place they like to go to and one of those places (for me) is Chester. Trips to Chester started off being trips with school, learning about the Romans and then piling back on to a coach to head home. Then, when I got to secondary school and sixth form, these trips became… Continue reading A Trip To Chester
Emma by Jane Austen
Another book from my Classics Challenge done and dusted, this time it was Emma by Jane Austen. This book will soon find itself back in the public consciousness as it is immortalised on screen and, much like Little Women , it was this realisation that prompted me to finally sit down and read it. I… Continue reading Emma by Jane Austen
Book Review: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Not being at uni means classic books aren't being thrown at me left, right and centre. Unlike most of my fellow grads, I miss reading books like that. That's why I created "The Classics Challenge", which will see me read several "classic" books over the course of the year, starting with Little Women. Ok, so… Continue reading Book Review: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
My Goals for 2020
I started the year feeling a bit delicate after a few too many drinks but, now my heads clearer, let me just say happy 2020! I still can't get my head around it being a New Year, and the start of a new decade, but one thing I can get behind is setting goals. I'm… Continue reading My Goals for 2020
2019 In Review
I've seen a lot of "best nine" and "in review" posts on Instagram and Twitter and, quite frankly, I don't have enough impressive pictures in order for me to post one. I know, I know, it doesn't matter if the pictures of my year are probably 80% food, 10% poor quality photos and 10% photos… Continue reading 2019 In Review
