What Books Have Made it Into My Suitcase?
So, by the time this is posted, I will have just boarded my flight from Gatwick to New York. My oldest and dearest friend is getting married in New York and I am excited to be a part of her wedding and to get to go back to New York again. I’ll be there for…
Wishlist – Waterstones
This list has been posted mostly because I’m currently having a bad day where my anxiety is high, I’m angry, I have an intense migraine and I’m running off fumes having had under five hours sleep. But, I soldier on. I love making lists. It is one of the things in life that calms me…

Wish List – Stand Alone Books
There are only twelve books in this list which makes it my shortest one. These are books that aren’t part of a series and don’t have a designated spot in any of my other lists. They’re all books that I’ve added this year and when going through the titles, I only got rid of 3…
J.K. Rowling
I couldn’t talk about favourite authors without mentioning J.K. Rowling. It was her books that introduced me to the world of reading and made me want to better my ability to read. Imagine a young six year old girl, who was angry, frustrated and sad, because she couldn’t read to the same level of her…
