Why I Don’t Have A 2016 Reading Goal

I love goals, and more than that, I love organisation. Colour co-ordination, setting objectives and scheduling has become my life (pretty much). Partly, because if I don’t have everything written down nothing will get done but also because I love post-its and enjoy writing myself notes. Achieving the goals I set, however, is the best […]

Is It Acceptable To Put Books In Time Out?

Don’t get me wrong, I love books as much as the next crazed book lover but sometimes I just get SO angry or, SO fed up that I want to put my book in time out…(that’s normal, right?) In the bookosphere I’ve sometimes heard people talk about ‘throwing their books across a room’ (now listen […]

I love this series more than I love rainy days and cups of tea (seriously, it’s wonderful). I first read the Creepy Hollow series a year ago and since then have met the author *cries 37 happy tears* and reread the books 4 (5?) times each. It’s SO GOOD and frankly, I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO BE OBSESSED WITH […]

5 Reasons I Always Finish Books (or try to)

I started devouring reading books when I was 10. Before that I read, but never at the rate that I do now. Over the 6+ years I’ve been swallowing books whole and have developed a state of mind wherein I always finish them. In fact, through all my time reading there have only been 2 books I […]

I’m a writer. I’m quite sure you know this but I thought I’d tell you anyway. I write a lot – more than I breathe (not really. That’s impossible. But that’s the dream. Again, not really. The dream is to be published) I’m getting side-tracked, I know, but the point is: I write. Today, I decided I’d share […]

I’M BACK! *bakes cupcake* *sticks 42 candles in said cupcake* *dances* For those of you who don’t know I ABANDONED WIFI AND MY CATS for a few days and travelled into the desert like wasteland some call: a farm. In my last post I told you about why I was happy and…not so happy to go. Today I […]

I’M ABANDONING SIGNAL, WIFI AND MY CATS (fear not, they have a human to look after them) FOR THE OUTSIDE WORLD. Before we get into this I’d like to assure you that I WILL RETURN (if I don’t get eaten by a sheep or something). Also, I think it’s important to let you all know that, […]

Why the Millions of Bookmarks I Own Remain Unused

I quite like bookish tags. And by ‘quite like‘ I mean I love them. So, without further ado, here is a bookish tag about bookish things. (Feel free to answer these questions on your own blog – I’ve left them at the bottom of this post, and linked The Book Jazz original video.) DO YOU […]

When I was 7, I wrote a book (and it was awful)

I was seven years old when I set pen to paper and wrote my very first novel (spoiler: it wasn’t very good). I could say that my passion for writing drove me to pick up a pen for the first time, but that wasn’t the case. Instead, it was boredom (and a vast imagination). In […]

Here’s to the authors

Here’s to the authors… The creators of magic, wielders of words; the influential beacons of light. The people who keep us up reading until early hours of the morning; who make us laugh, cry, book shimmy and squeal with delight. The ones who ignite our belief in happily-ever-afters, true love and eternal happiness. The ones […]
