Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing okay in amongst the madness of everything at the minute. Whilst living in lockdown here in the UK, I have been doing things that I would not normally think to do, simply because I have so much extra time on my hands. This afternoon, I had a random …
My top ten books of 2018
This has definitely been one of my best years for reading, and picking my favourite ten was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. The only way I could do it was to scroll through my Goodreads reading challenge list, write out all of the memorable ones, and then slowly begin …
Inside a cosy bookshop
As Winter approaches, I felt it was the perfect time to share with you possibly one of the quirkiest, cosiest bookshops I have visited. Barter Books is situated in the rambling town of Alnwick in Northumberland. It was opened in 1991, when Mary Manley opened a secondhand bookshop based on the swap system- hence the …
Thinking about the end of the world
My mind has been filled with a lot of things lately, but mainly the end of the world. I feel like most people have thought about this at some point, and everyone has their own approach to it. If I start thinking about the beginning or the end of everything, my head feels like it's …
Podcasts I’m loving
Lately I've really been getting into podcasts. They're a great alternative to music for getting ready in the morning, or listening to while travelling. I have to admit that only recently did I discover that there is an actual iPhone app called 'Podcasts' where you can find them all, for free! But don't worry, if …
Three light reads
After last week's post, I thought it was only right to talk about some slightly lighter, easier books to read. These three books are perfect for those times when you need to unwind and not concentrate too much. I'd heard of this book for a while, and I recently got around to reading it! …
Book haul: Classics
It's been way too long since a book post on this blog. In fact, I think my last one was my 2015 Book Round-Up. For my sixteenth birthday, I was lucky enough to be given lots of books, and today I am showing you a few classics. 'Wuthering Heights' is now one of my favourite …
Sicily 2016
I have a strange relationship with travel. Honestly, travelling basically anywhere that isn't within walking distance gives me a lot of anxiety. And I am definitely a homebody. But I do also love the thrills that come with travelling; there's something about exploring new countries or regions that is so exhilarating. Recently I've been craving …
Female singers and their stories
Hi everyone, today I wanted to share the stories of a few talented female singers which I like. I hope you find it interesting! Vérité is the stage name of a singer-songwriter called Kelsey Byrne from New York. Meaning 'truth' in French, this stage name is perfect, since her lyrics are all about truth and …
Norfolk and its nature
Last week I had exams in school, so it was such a nice experience to spend the following weekend away, staying in a beautiful cottage in Norfolk. I thought I would share some photos that I took, so you can also appreciate the enchantment! - ☾Evie☽
