I’ve had a hard week. Work has been crazy, and because we had a big event there were lots of photos taken and shared around – and rightly so! It was a week I’ll never forget. But sometimes the self-hatred shouts louder than my resolve to ignore it – and it’s bloody hard. Take this…

Three Dark Crowns Review – Kendare Blake
Blog image sourced from http://www.kendareblake.com I have to admit, this isn’t the first time I’ve picked up this book. After seeing the great reviews on GoodReads/Amazon, I ordered it and waited patiently for it arrive. But I made the mistake of not opening the book up first with the ‘Look Inside!’ feature and didn’t realise…
The Perk of Reading a Book Twice
A friend of mine asked me a few days ago if I often read books twice. Truth be told, I don’t. I have a Good Reads reading list I take great pride in adding to (currently I’m on 210 books!) and part of that is reading as many new books as possible. The only series…
It’s Holiday Clothes Time… And For The First Time In 26 years, I LIKE MY BODY.
Recently, it’s been about two degrees warmer in the UK than it is usually. And this, along with slightly more daylight hours, has got me thinking about holidays! I’m going to Florida this year. I’ll be visiting my favourite parks – Universal Islands of Adventure, Magic Kingdom, etc – as well as visiting Volcano Bay…
My Week Without Social Media
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that my social media channels have been quiet this past week. No, I didn’t break my phone (again). I consciously chose to ignore social media for a week. Perhaps I should explain why. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve seen a lot of articles popping up online…
Five Things That Suck About Redrafting – And One Thing That Doesn’t
OK, so if you’ve ever written a book or story or novella or play or basically ANYTHING in your life, and you actually want it to be consumed by other people, then it’s likely you’ve had to redraft at some point. Whether it’s an email in work or a 100,000 word novel, redrafting is one…
New Year, New Me?
It’s that time of year again… ‘resolution’ time. I’ve already heard ‘resolution chat’ today in work and it got me thinking about why everyone vows to change at this time of year. I believe it may be down to a sense of unity. If everyone else is changing, exercising, doing dry January, etc, it’s a…
4 Shows That You Need To Watch On Netflix
*Header images sourced from imdb.* I confess, I love my Netflix subscription. There are endless hours of entertainment on there, and to be honest, they’ve kind of gotten me hooked with their weekly releases of tv shows – I have no choice now but to stay and watch them! But, for £5.99 a month we’re…
Four Books in Four Weeks
If you’re a writer, you’ll know that it’s NaNoWriMo – National November Writing Month. It’s one of those things I’ve always debated taking on – but this November for me has been somewhat busy. I’ve been on the hunt for a job – which I can safely say I’ve now secured, and we’ve also moved…
Review – Turtles All The Way Down, John Green
John Green is a legend in the YA fiction world, I think we can all agree on that. And Turtles All The Way Down is another fantastic example of him exploring an area others fear to tread, and it’s a delight. I’ve split this review down into three parts so that I can really focus…
