I had a birthday this month. I turned 29. I'm not a birthday person as a general rule, this is probably because I hate having all the attention on me! But, I still like to mark the occasion, so I did. Therefore I thought I would share with you what I got up to. For… Continue reading I’m another year older
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
Some silly ‘get to know me’ facts

My January in a nutshell
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

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
