I feel like this statement is true for a lot of us bibliophiles. I am still surrounded by books that I need to read but I am slowly making my way through them and trying not to buy more books when I have so many to read. I have almost finished reading the books I…

Book Fanatic. Seriously, I might have a problem, there are too many TBR books in my house.
Outside of books, I'm just a normal woman living in the UK. My name is Hannah. I love playing on my Xbox (the Assassin's Creed series being a favourite of mine), I love colouring and have now amassed 30 colouring books. I love cooking and baking (especially cheesecakes) and experimenting with recipes on Pinterest. I love dogs, I have two Italian Greyhounds, Freddie who is twelve and a anti-social gentleman and Luca who is two and a crazy blur of beige. I am also a self confessed stationery addict and a member of Slytherin (I dare you to come for me!)
33. Lost Boy by Christina Henry
This was another birthday book. Having just read ‘The Mermaid’ by Christina Henry, I was excited to dive into another retelling of a classic story. Synopsis (as found on back of book) is as follows: There is one version of my story that everyone knows. And then there is the truth. Once I loved a…
32. Strange Star by Emma Carroll
This was another book that I got for my birthday. I have become a bit obsessed with Emma Carroll since reading ‘Secrets of a Sun King’, she is effortless in her writing and has the ability to draw me out of whatever I’m doing and let me sink within the words of the book. Synopsis…
Weekend Catch Up
Another week has come and gone and quite honestly this was a week for extreme highs and lows. Coming skiing, you obviously want to do as much skiing as possible and I had to come to terms with the fact that I wouldn’t be able to ski. I had under anticipated how much my inflammed…
31. The Storm Keeper’s Island by Catherine Doyle
This was another birthday book, one from my Mum and Dad. I just thought it sounded really interesting and felt like it needed to be read. Synopsis (as taken from the back of the book) is as follows: When Fionn Boyle sets foot on Arranmore Island it begins to stir beneath his feet… Once in…
Day Four, Tignes
I have now hit the halfway point of the holiday. Yesterday was a blue sky day, meaning that the slopes were busy and the queues for the ski lifts chaotic. I completely underestimated how difficult I would find this skiing holiday. I think I was in denial about how bad my inflammed kneecap can hurt….
30. Brightstorm by Vashti Hardy
This was another book I got for my birthday, and I read it on Monday while the mountain weather was bad, the visibility was poor and the wind was high. I lost myself to the pages of this book while it snowed heavily outside and tried not to think about the skiing I was missing…
29. The Mermaid by Christina Henry
My sister got me this book for my birthday. I’d heard great things about Christina Henry and was interested so see where she’d take this classic story. It was also interesting to read about P.T. Barnum in a light that wasn’t glamourised by Hollywood. Synopsis (as taken from the back of the book) is as…
Arrival at Tignes, France
Good Afternoon everyone! It is exciting to be writing this from Tignes and not boring on England. It was a mission to get here. A 2:30am start and a journey that took 12 hours due to traffic and incidences in Geneva and the border between Geneva and France. It is now 4pm, I’ve braved the…
Weekend Catch Up
By the time this is posted I will be in the French Alps, in Tignes, probably exhausted from travelling and about to find somewhere to eat lunch. This week has been full of extreme highs and lows, a couple of books and a lot of Xbox and sleepless nights. I didn’t get to read the…
