Yes, I know it’s incredibly cliché these days to love Autumn and Halloween but honestly, I just do. Therefore, I knew it was high time I settled myself down to read A Discovery of Witches as I had a sneaky feeling it would provide me with the perfect Halloween vibe that I was desperately seeking. … More Books | Autumn Reading List Update | A Discovery of Witches
In the spirit of using that “Back To School” vibe to keep myself motivated to do everything I love, I decided it was high time I shared one of my To Read lists on here! I share my bed with what is affectionately known as ‘Book Husband’. He is loyal, he has been with me … More Books | My Autumn To Read List
Now, I’m incredibly late to the party on all things Eve of Man and that is entirely my own doing. I follow both Giovanna and Tom Fletcher on Instagram and I enjoy their YouTube content and Giovanna’s romantic fiction novels are some of my favourites to curl up with on a cosy day, or get … More Books | Eve of Man by Giovanna and Tom Fletcher
Oh it’s been a while since we did one of these, hasn’t it? A good old fashioned book post. I love a book post, it’s back to my first cosy days in the world of blogging. So, this week’s reading material of choice was “Under Your Skin” by Belfast based Rose McClelland. You may recognise … More Books | Review and Interview – Under Your Skin by Rose McClelland
I have to be brutally honest – when it comes to YouTuber books I have been burned before, one way or another, and my expectations are now shockingly low.

It is therefore perfect … More Book Lovers Day | Autumn Reading List

Billing itself as an “unprecedented collaboration between a survivor and a perpetrator”, South of Forgiveness details the communication and collaboration of Thordis Elva, an Icelandic writer and the man who raped her 20 … More Books| South of Forgiveness
I can quite understand why this might seem like an odd choice of activity when exploring Edinburgh but equally, a group of around 40 people waited patiently at 3.00pm on a brisk March morning to begin The Potter Trail, a free walking tour of Edinburgh which took us round the sights associated, one way or another, with the … More Travel| Edinburgh – The Potter Trail
Somehow, and don’t ask me how, I had made it all the way to 2016 having only read The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. Then, struck by inspiration in Waterstones, I picked up a copy of Oryx and Crake and delved into an unrecognisable yet eerily familiar world.
