I haven't posted here since isolation really began here in the UK, but I wanted to post a little update. . This is the book I'm currently reading, thank you to those who voted on my story a couple of days ago! So far I am loving this book and it has definitely helped my reading slump 🙌📖 . Also in this picture is Ovid's Heroides, which I am using for one of the chapters of my dissertation. This is primarily what I am working on at the moment, but everything has been so uncertain for the past couple of weeks that I have really lost motivation and it's been tough. . There are a few new posts on my blog (link in bio) and hopefully there will be more to follow soon! There is a post about Les Mis the staged concert, and also advice for self-care (which I think we all need!) . My aim is to really get back into a routine, get things off my to do list, and find my motivation to write my dissertation. I hope everyone is keeping safe and well! Any advice for motivation and finding a routine?

Wishing everyone a happy #worldbookday with my 200th post on this account 📚 . . For this special post, I decided to share one of my favourite shelves. These are the books that I turn to when I need a relaxing read, something that I know I will really enjoy. Whenever one of the Fletchers makes a book announcement I get so excited and these are the books I make sure to preorder or run to a bookshop to buy on publication day. It is these books that really show my love of reading and remind me why reading is more than just my studies. As I have grown up, I have worried I should be reading more serious books, especially as an English student, but these books remind me that I can read whatever I want for the love of reading and books. Plus, they're so pretty 😍 . . #georgiaellen #blog #bookblogger #bookstagram #worldbookday #carriehopefletcher #giovannafletcher #tomfletcher #eveofman #inthetimewelost #ontheotherside #allthatshecansee #whenthecurtainfalls #billyandme #alwayswithlove #dreamalittledream #somekindofwonderful #youretheonethatiwant

Currently reading 📖 . . These are the books that I have currently been reading for university. I'm doing a 'Narrative Non-Fiction' module this semester and I'm really enjoying it. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but we've read some interesting texts. The module is assessed through our creative writing and it's nice to be writing creatively again this semester, and in a new style to me. . . #georgiaellen #blog #bookstagram #bookblogger #betweentheworldandme #tanehisicoates #thefirenexttime #jamesbaldwin

These endpapers are so pretty 😍 . I finished 'In the time we lost' by @carriehopefletcher last night and below are some of my thoughts😊 . One of the things I enjoyed about this novel was the fact that I didn't know what was going to happen. Although reading about the same day got a bit difficult at one point, the intrigue of finding out what would happen definitely kept me going. The novel began and ended really well and the plot was interesting. Every character in this novel was fully depicted and I could visualise Ondingside in my mind and felt like I got to know the place and its small town atmosphere. I love Carrie's creativity and imaginative ideas for novels. Every one of her books is unique but is always full of creative passion. I also like the takeaways her novels have for her readers and I feel like her novels often give me something to think about. Lastly, the design of this book is just gorgeous and perfectly captures the essence of the novel. Overall, I enjoyed finding my evening escape with Luna and I'm excited to see what Carrie creates next! . #inthetimewelost #endpapers #bookreview #magicalrealism #bookstagram #georgiaellen #blog #bookblogger

I'm a sucker for a love story, and as it's Valentine's day I thought I'd share some of the books and authors that I've enjoyed most over the years 📚💕 . . #valentinesday #romancebooks #lovestories #mebeforeyou #billyandme #ontheotherside #aristotleanddantediscoverthesecretsoftheuniverse #prideandprejudice #loverosie #janeausten #bookblogger #bookstagram #georgiaellen #blog

One of the toughest decisions 🤔 . Apparently the blue (which is the one I chose) is the most popular here and the yellow is the least, which is interesting because those are the two I was torn between. . . Queenie is currently book of the month @waterstones and I've heard lots of good things. I'm excited to read it! . . @southamptonwaterstones #queenie @candicec_w #georgiaellen #bookblogger #blog #bookstagram #instabooks

I haven't had a lot of time to blog since I've been at uni, but I posted something new recently! The link to my blog is in my bio if you want to check it out 😊 . . #georgiaellen #blog #resolutions

Today marks the anniversary of Virginia Woolf's birth 📖🎉 . So far, A Room of One's Own is my favourite work of hers that I have read, but I also really like a couple of her essays. . The books in the second picture were given to me for Christmas and I love these Vintage classics editions. I really want to read more Virginia Woolf and I'm looking forward to reading these this year. . #vintageclassics #virginiawoolf #georgiaellen #bookblogger #bookstagram #aroomofonesown #thewaves #tothelighthouse #penguinmodernclassics #virginiawoolfbirthday #blog

2 years ago I read The Odyssey for the first time, and now I'm finally reading Emily Wilson's translation 📖 . This is the first published translation written by a female and, so far, I'm really enjoying it. This paperback edition has an introduction, notes on the books, and a glossary (which tells you how to pronounce names and things - super helpful!). . #theodyssey #homer #emilywilson #englishstudent #georgiaellen #blog #bookstagram #bookblogger

Since going to uni, I have discovered that I love books like this, ones that are a twist on a classic story. Circe was one of my favourite reads of 2019, and I have read a couple of retellings of Beowulf and enjoyed those too! . I've never read any Margaret Atwood, but I have wanted to read this for a couple of years and so far, I'm really enjoying it! The idea of the story of The Odyssey being told from Penelope's perspective interests me a lot 📖 . . #georgiaellen #blog #bookblogger #bookstagram #thepenelopiad @therealmargaretatwood #circe @madeline.e.miller #theodyssey #homer

I have some time to read again 🙌 . . Over the Christmas holidays I read The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes and adored it🌟 Now, I have a bit of time before my last semester at uni (😭) so I am tucking into this gorgeous book 😍 . . #georgiaellen #inthetimewelost @carriehopefletcher #thegiverofstars @jojomoyesofficial #bookstagram #bookblogger #blog

I may not have time to read it, but I was so excited when this arrived a day early - what a gorgeous cover 😍 . . #thegiverofstars @jojomoyesofficial
