After missing last week's Follow Friday because I was (shock horror) actually out being sociable (I know, right!), and checking into the #lbloggers chat on Sunday for the first time in months, this week's Follow Friday has shit loads of awesome content for your reading pleasure. Enjoy! Books Why I let Jodi Picoult destroy my… Continue reading Follow Friday #25
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

In the weeks/months where my blogging dwindled I read an awful lot. So much so that when it came to finally posting book reviews, I thought it best to do a summary. So here's a rundown on what I've been reading lately. The John Green books Paper Towns, Looking For Alaska, Let It Snow, Will… Continue reading What I’ve been reading lately #2

I like to think I'm particularly well read but then I'm guessing this list is aimed at young women in their late teens/early twenties, rather than… Continue reading Books to read before you die
Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl is another one of those books that you feel like you have to read because everyone is talking about it. The only thing I knew about it before buying it was that it's about a guy who's wife goes missing and that it's being made into a film directed by David… Continue reading Book review: Gone Girl
In honour of World Book Day, and looking ahead to International Women's Day on Saturday, I thought I'd share some of my favourite women in literature with you. Enid Blyton This woman is the reason I became a book worm at such a young age. At the age of seven, I was reading well above… Continue reading World Book Day: Women in Literature
So, at the weekend, the lovely Things I Hate... Some I Like nominated me for The Liebster Award. It turns out this means I get to write a post about this recognition, in aid of helping people discover more awesome blogs. Cheers chica! There are some rules... Each nominee must link back the person who… Continue reading The Liebster Award
On Tuesday morning, I put the rather substantial hardback copy of Jodi Picoult's latest novel in my handbag and set off for work. This evening, I finished it. Jodi's books are impossible to put down once you start reading them, so my commute to work was difficult to say the least. Arriving at work, hell,… Continue reading Book review: The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult
