Carrie Hope Fletcher's Solo Concert

Instagram

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

Trying to seem excited about all the uni reading I need to do 📖 . There are a few weeks left before uni starts again and I've been busy reading in preparation. I completed my Goodreads reading challenge yesterday but there are many more books to go! . . #thewaybyswanns #insearchoflosttime #marcelproust #unireading #englishstudent #georgiaellen #blog #bookblogger

I forgot to bring any non-uni books with me after Easter, so of course an opportunity to go book shopping could not be missed! . These are the two books that I picked up and I chose them because I have seen so many people talking about both of them. . Normal People is a current bestseller and has won awards but I had no idea what to expect from it. My thoughts are quite mixed if I'm honest, but overall I enjoyed it. It was definitely nice to read something that is currently being talked about. . The Night Circus has been around for a few years now, and I have seen so many people talking about it. I am not far into it yet but I am intrigued to see where the story goes. . . #georgiaellen #bookblogger #bookworm #blog #normalpeople #thenightcircus🎪 @sallyrooney6 @erinmorgenstern #vintage #faber

Today has been a glorious day for sitting outside with friends and for reading a book (currently reading: Normal People by Sally Rooney)☀️📖 . Although I am happy that uni is done for the year because I can finally have a break and choose what to read, I did love my modules this year and this semester especially. These are the books that I used for my final essays of the year and I enjoyed exploring them further. I liked them all, but The Mere Wife was a particular favourite, largely because I did not know what to expect and was pleased to find that it was brilliant!📚 . #normalpeople #sallyrooney #beowulf #oldenglish #seamusheaney #themerewife #theawakening #theireyeswerewatchinggod #englishstudent #blog #georgiaellen #bookblogger
