A book review: Matilda
So, I have written multiple posts where I have shared my love for Roald Dahl (I shall pop links to those at the bottom of this post if you would like to read them) and I have said about how obsessed I am with Matilda especially. I haven't ever gone into extensive detail on this… Continue reading A book review: Matilda
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

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
The book versus movie debate: Girl Interrupted
I thought I would mix it up a little with this next choice. It's a very different type of book/film than I have looked at before but it's a choice that I wanted to include because I found it to be a very powerful read! As always, I am going to begin with a little… Continue reading The book versus movie debate: Girl Interrupted
