What I’ve been reading: December

What I’ve been reading: December

If anyone was hoping for better times in 2021, they will have been sorely disappointed with the first week of the new year. With Lockdown 3.0, Brexit and the teeny, tiny issue of a would-be coup on the US Capitol in the space of just seven days, there's not much to feel positive about just [...]

Sometimes you read something so good it makes you feel inadequate as a writer. Whether it's a really insightful article, an amazing piece of fiction or a new and original viewpoint on something that you would never have thought of yourself, there's just something about the turn of phrase, the fluidity of the writing or [...]

What I’ve been reading: October

I have no words to start this block, except this: where did 2020 go? I'm looking at the word "October" as I write this and it's just hit me that it's well and truly the end of the year. Like many other people, I promised myself back in March that I would do more with [...]

What I’ve been reading: September

As I write this, it's safe to say the rain has well and truly set in - happy autumn everybody! Whilst there's many things I don't like about a rainy October, one thing I do like is the chance to snuggle in to my little nest, listen to the rain on my skylight and settle [...]

What I’ve been reading: August

I am on a mission with my reading. As anyone who reads blog will know, I am a staunch believer in the notion that you can't watch the movie/ TV show before you've read the book (although there have been some exceptions - I have never had the time nor the motivation to read A [...]

What I’ve been reading: July

With everything that's been going on in the world recently, I, like many other people, wanted to educate myself on the issues of race and racism that are prevalent not just in the US but around the world. Against the backdrop of the Black Lives Matter movement, I chose to read Bernadine Evaristo's Girl, Woman, [...]

What I’ve been reading: June

As if 2020 has gone by in a state of lockdown and we are already in July. How has this happened? Since I'm still working four day weeks and I've had to take all of my annual leave on top of that, I have had a lot of time on my hands to do not [...]

What I’ve been reading: May

So, I'm not going to lie: apart from the physical books, sunburn is the only evidence of my reading this month. But sunburn aside (it's turning into tan now anyway), it's been a bumper book month, mostly because of my newly free Fridays. It's also a month that I've just realised is also dedicated to [...]

WHAT I’VE BEEN READING: APRIL

Sometimes, if you think what you're going through sucks, reading can help. It can pick you up, remind you of happier times and take you to a better world. Or, it can remind you that really, your problems are literally miniscule. In the grand scheme of things, your problems don't matter and you're going to [...]

WHAT I’VE BEEN READING: MARCH

Since we can't go anywhere right now, you'd have thought I'd have been all over my reading list in the last few weeks. Safe to say, I haven't been. I can be a terrible procrastinator, and with so much time on my hands, it's so easy to just "do it tomorrow". The fact that the [...]
