This post features affiliate links When I started working from home 14 weeks ago, I was concerned for my TBR. I usually only read on the commute (12 hours of travel time a week came in handy) and I was worried that I wouldn't get a chance while working from home, especially with Jenson at… Continue reading What I’ve been reading lately #26

I recently reactivated my library card, which has allowed me to catch up… Continue reading What I’ve been reading lately #9

In celebration of the release of Floored, a collaborative novel from the pens of seven incredible UK young adult writers (including my personal favourite, Holly Bourne), I have been invited to take part in a blog tour with six fabulous fellow bookworms. In the spirit of the novel we're celebrating, we've been encouraged to produce… Continue reading When seven blogs collide… [part three]
I re-joined my local library days ahead of Feminist Book Fortnight and now my world has suddenly opened up in terms of reading potential. I've been struggling with a budget recently which has curtailed my spending on anything other than bills and food and now I can read again - beyond the titles which lovely… Continue reading #FeministBookFortnight: A wish list

I freaking love Holly Bourne… Continue reading Stationery Matters, We Should All Be Feminists and mulled wine #LittleLoves
