📚 Wrap-Up: February 2019

Now February is a busy month for me, so not so much reading takes place. I’ve also been in a bit of a book slump…typical eh, you decide to start a blog with the subject being books and you just can’t finish a single one… but despite that, I’ve not done too badly this month… Continue reading

📚 REVIEW | The Kicking Tree – Trevor Stubbs

Hobby attempt: Cross-stitching

Finally, after many years of saying “I’d like to give cross-stitch a go”, I’ve completed a (tiny) cross-stitch! I’ve been spurred on to start from seeing the nerdy and bookish ones people have been producing on Reddit – a particular favourite was one themed on The Sims (I just love that game for some reason,… Continue reading

About Me

Books and food enthusiast. I discovered a love for reading in my late teens, so you’ll see me catching up on older series quite often. I also love to travel around the UK, where I live, and picking up some crafty hobbies – I hope to share snippets of this amongst all the book content. Other interests include gaming, podcasts, drinking too much tea, and trying to personify autumn.
