Books, stationery, and wellbeing
I used to be quite dubious about any book that claimed to have anything to do with mindfulness or self-help but I've actually learned a lot from some of these books in the last year. When Lana Grace Riva offered me a review copy of her book, Happier Thinking, I thought it would make a… Continue reading Happier Thinking [Self-Care Sunday #47]
A couple of weeks ago my neighbour had a clear out and left a massive box of comic books on her doorstep - for nice nerds only. Now, I don't like to toot my own horn, but I like to think I'm a nice nerd - so I took about half the box! I sorted… Continue reading Free comic book haul
Never has it been so easy to be a bookworm. If, like me, you're a sucker for a stylish cover and a bargain, you need to check out Penguin's new Modern series. With 50 titles at just £1 each (I know, right!), you can sample a classic writer's work in a bitesize chunk. Don't fancy… Continue reading Something old and something new with Penguin Modern
I think I've really grown as a feminist over the last year. I have been inspired by the lives of some truly remarkable women - I've learned about female historical figures who have long been overlooked, watched in awe as women in their thousands have marched for what they believe in and realised that we… Continue reading Celebrating International Women’s Day with Abrams + Chronicle [review + giveaway]
If there's one thing I've learned lately, it's that one person has the power to make change, be that positive or negative. It might sound cheesey to say out loud but it's true. Every significant change in history has started with one person and their belief that they have this power. Abrams + Chronicle have… Continue reading Make Change

I'm all about wearing my fandom on my sleeve so I've teamed up with Literary Emporium to offer one lucky reader a t-shirt of their choice. I've long swooned over the fabulous range of clothing at Literary… Continue reading Celebrating World Book Day with Literary Emporium [review + giveaway]
Nosy Crow is one of my favourite children's book publishers and I'm so excited about their latest release. Out tomorrow, HerStory is a highly-stylised stunner of a book, featuring the lives of inspiring women. Before we go any further, let's just take a minute to swoon over this beautiful cover and what hides underneath the… Continue reading HerStory: A must-read for young women everywhere
Abrams + Chronicle spoil us with top feminist titles. Over the last year, I've reviewed Why I March, Lumberjanes, The Grown-Ass Women's Club and A Glorious Freedom, plus a wide range of other books and stationery products. They're all for empowering women - and rightly so. Today they added two new books to the list,… Continue reading New feminist releases from Abrams + Chronicle
I won a competition last week and I just had to share the prize with you fellow bookworms and stationery addicts. It was run by Suze Lavender from With Love for Books (she does loads of awesome book giveaways - make sure you follow her on Twitter) and the lovely prize was a Lucky Dip… Continue reading Inside the Fable & Black Lucky Dip Box
This month the Blogger Book Nook organised a book swap and the questions for our blog posts are all based on sharing the love of books. I sent Katrina my copy of Relativity and she sent me Matt Haig's How To Stop Time. How to Stop Time is like a mix of The Curious Case… Continue reading Blogger Book Nook #6 Book swaps
