Six different essays due, and another four pieces of creative writing, but you know I took 24 hours off to watch the new Shadow and Bone Series on Netflix. I’ve had so many Instagram messages since the series launched, asking whether you should read the books first. There’s no simple answer to this, no, you…
Let’s ignore how late I am with this one and dive in, shall we! I started off slow in March and then I read like 7 books in the last week. That’s just how it goes sometimes, peaks and troughs, but there are some gems in this round up! Links are affiliate! Act Your Age Eve Brown…
I’m terrible at promoting YouTube videos, I’ll spend a week filming a vlog, two hours editing and then tell no one about it. So I’m trying to rectify that! Last week bookstores reopened and I decided to bankrupt myself by visiting them all. Great plan I know. Anyway this is a slow cosy vlog, expect…
Thank you Orbit Books for the Advanced Copy of this book! Okay so a rhetorical question, are you interested in a dark, atmospheric, fairy tale inspired, biting fantasy novel, set in a forest, with a half man half tree love interest? OF COURSE YOU ARE. When I tell you I hoped, prayed and pleaded for an advanced copy of this book, I’m not kidding. I…
Thank you to Harper Voyager for gifting me an advanced copy of this book – I was under no obligation to share but I loved it so much I couldn’t resist!

It’s a tense, slow build to start with, that unravels into a lush read that I found…
This post started as an ‘Everything I Loved in March’ but it’s taken me so long to finish it that the title felt in need of an update! The last few weeks have felt chaotic and so the overwhelming themes have been trying to find space and quiet to recharge when possible. The final taught…
Not only am I very late writing this post, I also still haven’t read a single book in March. February was such a productive reading month that I seem to have hit a slump since. Hopefully rounding up these great titles will inspire me to get back to it, so here are all the books…
March has arrived, and it’s almost like it never left, have we been stuck in a perpetual March for a whole year? I’ve found myself clinging to the goal posts of each month so much more this year, a point of reference throughout endless groundhog days. I’ve never stuck rigidly to monthly goals but since…
With an end to lockdown in sight, there’s a lot of conversation about getting ‘back to normal’, and saying goodbye to the pandemic for good. Of course it goes without saying that I’m ready for the end of ‘unprecedented times’ but I think we should be cautious about returning to how we were before. There’s…
