I have spent the past three years studying for an English degree and I have loved it. I'm not going to talk specifically about my degree or university experience here, although leave me a comment if you would like that content, but I am going to talk about some things I learnt whilst studying English. … Continue reading Lessons University Taught Me About Reading
I hope everyone is well and staying safe. I started blogging about four years ago, and since going to university three years ago my posts have become sporadic. Hopefully, that will be changing. About a month ago, I handed in the final assignment of my undergraduate degree. I have now had all of my individual … Continue reading Post-University Update
Recently, a few people have joked that I'll have plenty to do during this time because I have plenty of books I can read. Whilst I like that this is true, it also makes me sad that I'm dreaming of hours curled up with a book, when in reality I'm snatching minutes to read a … Continue reading 7 Books I would read (if I didn't have uni work)
I started writing this post a couple of months ago, but I still wanted to post it because it was an excellent show and the DVD is due to be released in April.

One of the things that I find hardest about studying English at uni is that I am constantly seeing new books that I want to get my hands on and dive into but I can’t because I have to read the books that I am studying and I have barely got time to read those … Continue reading My Anticipated New Book Releases
Okay, this post is now super late, but I wanted to post it anyway because the post has been sat in a word document for so long and there are some great favourites here that are worth mentioning. Since I am now done with uni for the year, hopefully I will be able to get … Continue reading Autumn & Winter Favourites
‘New year, new me’ Personally, I have never been one for New Year’s resolutions. I just don’t see them as being entirely useful, especially as many probably go unfulfilled. The idea of trying to change something is fine, of course, but I think the new year brings about an idea of drastic change that is … Continue reading Making Resolutions
