Books, stationery, and wellbeing
This week I've LOLed at awesome posts on Cornish life and politics, drooled over mug cakes and swooned over travel photo diaries. Gotta love the blogosphere! I love reading book reviews from people who have just read one of my favourite books for the first time. Anastasia is no longer a Jane Austen virgin! I've… Continue reading Saturday Share #84
I'd had a Goodreads account for a while but not really used it until this year. When I was bored I liked to rate books in order to get recommendations but I never used it to track my reading. This year I set myself my first challenge - to read 50 books in 2016. I… Continue reading My 2016 Goodreads Challenge
Yep, it's September already. Autumn is nearly here and with it comes the countdown to my birthday and Christmas. But before start living the hygge life, let's wave summer goodbye with a look back at my August in photos. 1. I reviewed A Midsummer Night's Dream at Penlee Park Theatre 2. We found our new… Continue reading My life in photos: August 2016
I've really enjoyed reading Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey for the first time this week and have stopped on a few occasions to note a particularly awesome quote. This is my favourite so far. Maybe I can find an Etsy print somewhere for my wall...
Wow, it's been a helluva week! Cheers to the freakin' weekend, ey? It's been my first full working week in a few weeks (Monday-Wednesday is a full week to me post-baby!) and we've been swamped with deadlines. Back at home we've also been reminded of shit people can be - don't always trust buyers on Facebook… Continue reading Friday Favourites #12
I don't know if you've noticed but I blog a lot about books with beautiful covers. I've recently pinned and wish list-ed a whole load more that I want to share with you but I don't want to re-share anything I've mentioned before - there's only so much space! So if you want to see… Continue reading Beautiful books
Again, this is something I first came across on the joy that is Instagram and I fell hopelessly in love at first sight. It looks like a great way to introduce your child to classic literature - plus they're board books, so Jenson can't tear the pages and can chomp to his heart's content. Thing… Continue reading Wish list: Babylit board books
I'm not gonna lie; I have, like, a dozen Amazon wish lists. You've gotta organise your shit, right? Just like with Pinterest! There's one for books, DVDs, Pop Vinyls, homeware, stuff for Jenson... The other day I shared some mini reviews of what I've been reading lately and it got me thinking about all of… Continue reading A peak at my Amazon wish list
I'm a sucker for anything with a literary quote on it, especially any wise words from Jane Austen. I love this 'obstinate, headstrong girl' tote bag from Fabrily, quoting Pride and Prejudice. It's £13.10 and also available as a t-shirt.
I've been tagged by Manchester Flick Chick in a book tag and you know I love me a tag. I just can't help sharing! Here's the lowdown on me and my reading habits. Would you rather only read trilogies or only read standalones? I often get emotionally invested in characters and want to know more,… Continue reading The ‘Would You Rather’ book tag
