This post features affiliate links I've always wished I was better at drawing and have wanted to feature more doodles in my bujo for a while. I spotted this book for a mere £3 in The Works the other day and snapped it up to help with my Christmas spreads - I bought Jenson one… Continue reading Book review: How to Draw a Reindeer and Other Christmas Creatures by Lulu Mayo
The lovely team at Quercus are kindly sending copies of these books to one lucky winner I can't recommend the No Fucks Given Guides enough and can talk about the wonder of Sarah Knight's books and journals 'til the cows come home. They make the perfect gift for anyone wanting to start the new year… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas giveaways: The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*** book & journal #ad
[Ad – review] This post features products sent for review purposes. All thoughts are my own. This post also contains affiliate links Have I mentioned lately how in love I am with the sheer volume of bad-ass female biographies available at the moment? Last year I wrote a post on books for feminists of all… Continue reading Book review: Little Guides to Great Lives

And when the products come from the fabulous The House That Lars Built, it's easy to see why you can't buy just one.

Oh, and I flipping love Travel Man. But I'm not a fan of some of his earlier work, particularly Garth Marenghi's Dark Place and AD/BC:… Continue reading Book review: Richard Ayoade presents The Grip of Film by Gordy LaSure

If you're a regular reader, you might recall me posting about my fuck budget last year and my massive girl crush on Sarah Knight, having read The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck and You Do You. I recently read her second book, Get Your Shit Together, and I highly recommend it, especially… Continue reading Getting my shit together
I'm so glad we live in a world where there are so many popular young adult books about mental health/disorders but, dare I say it, it's becoming difficult to find those with a unique voice.
