This month I managed better than February, and even better than January. I read 9 books this month and didn’t feel as much of a failure with reading. March was such a crazy month for a lot of different reasons, most obviously because of COVID-19. We’re all trying to cope in our own ways, but,…

Living Through the COVID-19 Pandemic Week 2 – 21st-27th March
Day Four – Saturday 21st March It’s Saturday! Hurray! But wait, social distancing…great! I actually got up really late on Saturday morning, well past 9am.

Day One It’s Wednesday 18th March 2020, and the UK government has implemented the change where people, where appropriate, begin working from home.

3 Fact Book News – 12/03/2020
Sorry this is a day late, I had a difficult start to the week and it was hard to engage my brain! I have only collected two books this week. One because it was only £2.00 and the other because I was struggling with life and needed something else to focus on (plus it was…
February Round Up
Didn’t get to read much this month as was busy every evening and all weekends! Definitely feeling the guilt of not reading! I read 5 books this month, 4 of which were 5 star reviews.

Birthday Book Haul
You may or may not know, but I turned 30 last Thursday (27/02). In true bookworm heaven, I received a few books from friends and family, a ton of book tokens (= £70), and I also treated myself to some books. I was already swimming in tbr books before my birthday, but now I feel…
Phantom of the Opera – Her Majesty’s Theatre
I have loved Phantom for over a decade. I listen to the soundtrack on a weekly bases. I have the 25th anniversary edition on DVD. I cannot put into words the joy that Phantom brings me. It is everything about the production that I love. From the music, to the lyrics, the characters and the…
Ramble #11
This week has been so busy. I forgot to post a ramble for last week, so first a recap of that! The week was pretty quiet but I didn’t have any time to read in the evenings. I was either painting, or otherwise engaged with tasks that took me away from reading. Last weekend, (15th…
