Seeing as it is already halfway through February, I thought I had better get a move on and post my January roundup. This is something I want to try and do every month on here, a little 'in a nutshell' post about the previous month. This will include highs and lows and stand out moments… Continue reading My January in a nutshell
A little thank-you to a favourite thing
Thank-you notes are cool right? Whether they are the old fashioned pen and paper type or the more up to date text or email; they’re nice to give and receive aren’t they? I always try to say thank-you because I’m a stickler for good manners, and I think I achieve it with people but what… Continue reading A little thank-you to a favourite thing
An at home date night
This is a bit of a random post but the idea came to me and even though it's a little different to my usual content I really wanted to write it. So, here it is. Also, as it's Valentines day tomorrow and we are having an 'at home date night' to mark it, I figured… Continue reading An at home date night
The book versus movie debate: The Stepford Wives
It's been a little while since I have done a 'book versus movie debate' post but as I have recently read The Stepford Wives I figured that rather than just share my thoughts on the book, I would do a book and film comparison instead. There are two film adaptations, one was released in 1975 and the… Continue reading The book versus movie debate: The Stepford Wives
The books I plan on reading this year
A small confession to start: I am guilty of buying and borrowing a lot of books that I never get around to reading, so this year I am determined to make my 'yet to read' pile a lot smaller in size! I thought it would be fun to share with you the titles that I have picked… Continue reading The books I plan on reading this year
Real books versus e-books
In my last post I did a Book related Q and A and one of the questions that I answered was: 'Paperback, hardback or e-book?' I answered paperback, I didn't even need to think about it, I just knew straightaway. Anyway, that question stuck with me and got me thinking about real books versus e-books and… Continue reading Real books versus e-books
Book related Q and A
Now that a new year has begun and I'm starting to feel a little more confident blogging, I wanted to make my blog a little more personal. By that I mean that I want to show the person behind the blog a bit more. So, I thought I would kick that off with a Q… Continue reading Book related Q and A
Why did I create my blog?
I have been meaning to write this post for a while now but for some reason I just never got around to it. But now I have. This post is going to be all about why I decided to start a blog. I hope you enjoy reading it! So, I have always enjoyed reading blog… Continue reading Why did I create my blog?
Why I would love to be a novelist
If somebody asked me what would be slap bang at the top of my bucket list, I wouldn’t hesitate to answer with I want to be a published novelist. I would love to walk into a book shop or browse the internet and find my novel, with my name on the front, published. It has… Continue reading Why I would love to be a novelist
My thoughts: Tom’s Midnight Garden
You will have noticed that I have called this my thoughts rather than a review or a comparison and that is because I want to talk about Tom's Midnight Garden both the film and the book but I don't want to compare them or review them in the traditional sense. Instead I wanted to share… Continue reading My thoughts: Tom’s Midnight Garden
