Happy Sunday, friends! The day is here to give a weekly update about what I’ve been reading, watching and listening to throughout the past 7 days. But before I start can I just put it on record that it was snowing in London town today! The boyfriend took me on a nice lunchtime walk. It’s the first time in months that I’ve left the house with no actual reason other than wander around aimlessly and get some exercising in! And it felt good. I even made a mini snowman! The whole park was full of life-size snowmen and it reminded me of home so much. Every winter our town would…

Unfinished Book Series | Books to finish in 2021
Hi friends, how are you? Hope everything is well with you. As I’m still looking back to last year I wanted to further stop on some of the incredible series I started. They sadly quickly turned into unfinished book series. Mostly because I got struck by either a reading slump or distracted by other books. I started a few series 2020, so today I shall put it out in the universe that these are the books I am hoping to complete in 2021. As you may be aware, one of my new year resolutions was to not set a specific monthly to-be-read list, but simply read what I want, when…

Weekly Reading Update | 2021 | Week 1
Good evening friends! How are you all doing? I’ve been busy watching lots of trash, but also somewhat enjoyable, movies on Netflix and generally just chilling. I have been off work since Christmas Eve and it really has been a much needed break. However, as quickly as Christmas arrived it was done and over within, in what felt like, minutes. It’s back to the grind tomorrow and I am NOT looking forward to rolling out of bed to do some actual work at all. So to distract myself from the fact that it’s Sunday, and I had planned to post a weekly reading update today, here I am. Week 1…

Book Review | Pet Sematary by Stephen King
The review for Pet Sematary will be a little different as it is our pick for May’s buddy read with Erren (@abookloversdiary). A few weeks back, I got talking to her and it turns out neither of us have ever, EVER, read a Stephen King’s book. Not one. Ever. Did I say ever? I’ve got a total of 6 books on the shelf and for whichever reason I haven’t picked one up – until now. And I am beating myself up for it! As the book is being stretched out over the four weeks of May, I’m giving a sort of “live” commentary as my review for it. So here…
