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

Hi! I'm Jen, 22 and from the North West of England. I love books, baking and being a student at uni (all of which I'll talk about on this little blog!)
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott Review
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 Little Women by Louisa May Alcott Review
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
Who I’ve been listening to in 2019
I've already done a post on what I've listened to over the year but - considering I'm running low on post inspiration - I thought I'd do a longer post on just that. 2019 has been a weird year. At once it's been amazing, as I've graduated and explored some brilliant places with the best… Continue reading Who I’ve been listening to in 2019
Mistletoe and Mystery (The Paradise Cookery School Book 3) by Daisy James
If you're anything like me, you'd be happy to find a pile of books waiting under the tree this Christmas. Luckily, I didn't have to wait until the big day to find a book in my possession, as a lovely (and, aptly, Christmassy) book found itself in my room last week. In the lead up… Continue reading Mistletoe and Mystery (The Paradise Cookery School Book 3) by Daisy James
Living with Yourself (2019) Review
Aside from The Great British Bake Off, I don't think I've ever reviewed a TV show. Luckily, in between writing and whatever else I've been doing, I got to sit down and watch Netflixs' Living with Yourself. The show, created by Timothy Greenberg, centres on Miles Elliot. Miles assumes that a trip to a massage… Continue reading Living with Yourself (2019) Review
Up in the Air
Ah December. The reminder that the years nearly over, Christmas is coming and all you feel like doing is downing a bottle of Bailey's and watching Christmas movies in your pants. I thought I'd be feeling like that this year but, for the most part, I'm not. When I was thinking about how I'm feeling,… Continue reading Up in the Air
Last Christmas (2019) Review [Dir. Paul Feig]
In the midst of job applications (and rejections), and adjusting to everything that comes with being a responsible, mature adult (or trying to be), it's only right I squeezed in a Christmas film. I'm not one to get excited about Christmas, probably because I spend the time I should be getting excited thinking where has… Continue reading Last Christmas (2019) Review [Dir. Paul Feig]
My Nanowrimo ‘19 Prep
Considering this is the day for all things spooky, I thought I'd complete Blogtober (though I think I might be a few posts short - curse my inability to do basic maths!) by posting about something which has always struck me with fear....Nanowrimo Nanowrimo , for anyone who doesn't know, is a writing event throughout… Continue reading My Nanowrimo ‘19 Prep
