So, here we are, halfway (pretty much) through April so it's about time that I posted my roundup of March. I hope you enjoy reading! HIGH March was the month when I finally got everything organised at home. I talked about wanting to sort through my clothes and shoes in my January and February 'in a nutshell'… Continue reading My March in a nutshell

Tsundoku
Tsundoku. Are you familiar with this word? I wasn't. I hadn't even heard of it until a friend of mine showed me an article discussing it and said that it had reminded her of me. So, what does it mean? It is a Japanese term that means the act of buying books and allowing them… Continue reading Tsundoku
The book versus movie debate: The Fault in Our Stars
I have just finished reading and watching The Fault in Our Stars for the first time. Yes, I know, better late than never right?! Before I get into this post I have to say I loved both the book and film adaptation! It's pretty rare for me to find a piece that will have me… Continue reading The book versus movie debate: The Fault in Our Stars
The book versus movie debate: The Silver Linings Playbook
If you aren't new around here then you will be familiar with my structuring of this series, and if you are new then I will link all my previous 'The book versus movie debate' posts at the end of this one so you can check out the others that I have written (if you would… Continue reading The book versus movie debate: The Silver Linings Playbook
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
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
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
