[Before I start, I was inspired by this post (by Becca) to write this, so Iād encourage you to check it out as well]. Itās a weird time. A very weird time. I think Iām naturally a negative person, so being cooped up at home and surrounded by the doom and gloom of the news… Continue reading The Gratitude Diaries #1

A Book For All Occasions
Iām not well versed in tag posts but, when the lovely Hannah (be sure to check out her reviews and other book related posts!) tagged me in this one, I couldnāt pass it up. Books arenāt just these portable tools, they make you think and feel a wide range of emotions and - especially in… Continue reading A Book For All Occasions
Book Review: The Girl He Used To Know by Tracey Garvis Graves
For the first time ever, I decided to set myself aĀ GoodreadsĀ challenge. My goal for this year's Reading Challenge is a total of 50 books. I think, more than likely, I'll read more but - considering the fact I read non-stop for three years for my degree - I thought 50 was a good number… Continue reading Book Review: The Girl He Used To Know by Tracey Garvis Graves
Book Review: Dracula by Bram Stoker
If you didnāt already know (letās face it, you probably do by now!) a goal of mine for 2020 was to read more. That led me to create a list of āclassicsā to read, as well as a list of more modern books, and Iāve got through a few so far:Ā Little Women,Ā Emma,Ā Pride and Prejudice andĀ The… Continue reading Book Review: Dracula by Bram Stoker
What I watched in February
Though the weather is usually slightly better in February (and by āslightly betterā I mean less rain), that didnāt stop me from grabbing a blanket, gathering the snacks and watching a movie or two. As I said in my last post (you can read it here), I thought Iād start a series of posts documenting… Continue reading What I watched in February
Book Review: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
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 aĀ 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 readĀ Little Women by Louisa May Alcott,Ā Emma by Jane AustenĀ ,Ā Pride and Prejudice by Jane AustenĀ 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
