Does anyone else have a bookshelf like this? I’ve accumulated several books on writing from my degree and from my own interest in developing my craft (*cringe*). I feel like this is what a noob writer does - read about writing to avoid actually having to, you know, write. I think my favourite book on… Continue reading Books on Writing

A Writing Truth
Currently Reading
For the third year running, I've set myself the challenge of reading 50 books in a year. I have year to manage it, falling 9 or 10 books short but I'm determined! Right now, I'm reading 4 books: To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) – a re-read so I can read Go Set a… Continue reading Currently Reading

We Were Liars
One of my teaching colleagues recommended this book to me and I read it one weekend - I couldn't put it down. It is a story of a privileged, rich family and the teenage cousins who summer together every year. The protagonist, Cadence, has suffered some kind of brain injury which means she doesn't remember what happened to… Continue reading We Were Liars

Watch Vampire Diaries - I was bought season 1 ages… Continue reading 5 things I want to do at half term

Goodbye TWoP, Old Friend
I found out today that Television Without Pity (or TWoP) is closing in a couple of days. I don't think the archives of recaps that entertained me and validated my TV obsession will be accessible after 4 April. Their detail, their snarkiness, their understanding that hating is loving when it comes to Dawson's Creek or… Continue reading Goodbye TWoP, Old Friend
Book Review: Moods by Lousia May Alcott
During our wonderful trip to the States last year, we were able to visit the town of Concord. Not only is this town important because it is where the first shots of the American Revolutionary War were fired, it also boast a great deal of literary heritage with Louisa May Alcott, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel… Continue reading Book Review: Moods by Lousia May Alcott
