Book Review: Bridget Jones’ Diary by Helen Fielding
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to make this my first book review since I ended my hiatus from this blog. It feels more apt to come back with a book I absolutely loved (spoiler alert, sorry), but I honestly haven’t read any books that I’m obsessed with recently. Better to come back with something…
Should you Read the Book First?
A long-established dichotomy is that of book vs film, page vs screen, literature vs cinema. I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve been urged “wait until you’ve read the book before seeing the film” with the threat that I’d “ruin it” for myself if I did otherwise. I’ve never really stopped to consider…
Life as a Literature Student: Month 1
I mention quite often on here that I’m currently an English Literature masters student, and yet I’ve realised I’ve shared very little to do with my experience. I didn’t create this blog to be about my academic life, but it’s becoming more and more of a presence. I don’t really feel like I can keep…
Returning to Posting
Some of you may have noticed I’ve been absent from this blog since the middle of October. This is very bad form from me, and something I’ve been beating myself up about for the last few days (definitely hasn’t helped me to get back into it). There are quite a few reasons why I’ve been…
The Struggles of a Bookworm: Too Many Books, Too Little Time
I’m returning to my blog following the weekend with a rather melancholy post. My friend and I were talking about books we want to read yesterday, and I was reminded of the horrible struggle of being a bookworm. I can’t read everything. Now, this seems like a fairly logical. Of course you can’t read everything…
Book Review: How to Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie
I have killed several people (some brutally, others calmly) and yet I currently languish in jail for a murder I did not commit. Spoiler-Free Thoughts If you like dark comedy, I think you’ll really enjoy this book. Mackie writes a really clever twist on the usual crime novel by making her narrator, Grace, fully transparent…
Book Cover Opinions
Don’t judge a book by its cover. Everyone knows this idiom, but does anyone really follow it? I know I can definitely be swayed by a cover, positively or negatively. I thought it would be interesting to do a bit of a deep dive on this topic, and unpick what my opinions on this famous…
Top 5 Popular Series That I’ve Never Read (and Probably Never Will)
I got this idea from the brilliant @ May’s Book Vault, so please check out her post after mine! I thought this was the perfect follow on from my childhood favourites series, because instead of hearing about the books I have read, you get to hear which ones I haven’t! I’ve decided to just focus…
Book Review: Wuthering Heights
If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger. I had a lot of high hopes for this classic because it seems to be a lot of people’s favourites, and I’m a lover of…
Posting Schedule
I wanted to write a short post explaining my posting schedule, so that the followers of this blog know when they can expect to see new posts from me. I have finally settled into a schedule at university as lessons have now started, so I can create more of a definitive schedule for when I…
