Hola lovely people!
This year is absolutely flying by – I can’t believe we’re nearly halfway through already…
Last week, I celebrated my 24th birthday by eating lots (of course) and going to the Hay on Wye book festival.

Hello wonderful people!
I haven’t checked in with you in a good few months &, as I’ve been keeping you updated on my heart troubles post chemo, I thought I’d let you know the latest 🙂
I started listening to podcasts when I was making long journeys back & fore to London – before that, I’d never really given them a second thought.
It was only because I noticed the Podcasts app on my iPhone one day that I began to realise just how bloody good they are! Continue reading “My Favourite Podcasts! | News”
A couple of years ago, I read Probably Nothing by Matilda Tristram – a picture book that depicted a woman’s battle with cancer.
It stayed with me because it was so different and it was such a unique way of talking about such a difficult topic.
So when Hot Key Books sent me Night Shift by Debi Gliori, I was really interested to see how the author had managed to depict depression through her illustrations. Continue reading “Night Shift Review | Books”
It’s the start of a new year and I think pretty much everyone I know is glad to see the back of 2016! What a weird year!
Although there were a lot of highlights in 2016, I didn’t do half the things I said I was going to do.
Hey lovely people,
Can you believe we’ve only got 2 months of 2016 left?! November has brought some icy cold weather with it which is pretty convenient as it’s officially Novel Writing Month – staying in my nice warm bed & writing some more of my book on the weekends has been absolutely lush.
I started writing my first novel on my Masters programme in 2014 & it has been a bit of a struggle, mainly because I’ve never written something this long before! Continue reading “Novel Writing Month! | Writing”
It’s nearly Halloween which can only mean one thing – scary book recommendations!
I love spending time with my nieces & nephews at Halloween. Dressing them up to go trick & treating is so much fun & when they’re excited, I get excited!
But Halloween can be fun for us grown-ups too & a good place to start is with books. Continue reading “Halloween Reading | Books”
I’m all about the characters in a book.
To me, they are the biggest aspect of the whole thing – I love seeing how their minds work & what decisions they make!
This week, I’m introducing you guys to a charity that I’ve recently become involved with!
A couple of weeks ago, I came into contact with James & his wonderful charity, CATS.
The charity focuses on promoting awareness of cancer symptoms to young people, particularly students. As someone who had cancer as a teenager, I was keen to get involved to prevent other people being misdiagnosed like I was.
Well folks, we’re into my favourite season – autumn! I love it when the weather gets that little bit colder & it’s acceptable to cwtch up with a book, an oversized jumper and a hot cup of tea.
I didn’t read as many books as I hoped to over the summer but I did read enough to warrant a wrap-up so here it is 🙂 Continue reading “Summer Reading Wrap-Up | Books”
