The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a fantastic story about a girl who has lived for hundreds of years, but nobody can remember her. She can’t leave a footprint on the ground, but she can influence art and leave her mark that way. Then, Addie walks into a second-hand bookshop in New York, and meets someone who remembers her.
Read MoreThis book was such a heart-warming story of friendship after loss, unrequited love, jealousy and family. This book also has so much LGBT+ representation but what I really loved about is it didn’t make a song and dance about it. This is just the story about relationships, queer or otherwise.
Read MoreThis year, I’ve decided to launch a book club! As you probably know from my Instagram, I love talking about books! And I know so many of you do too, so that is why I’ve decided to just do it! Let’s start a book club!
Read MoreNew Year’s resolutions, I have such a love-hate relationship with them. I hate the idea that everyone has to change to become better, but I also love having a focus, a goal, and something to aim towards. 92% of New Year’s resolutions fail to be achieved, so I like to set mine attainable but also things that I know I’ll work hard to stick to and achieve.
So, with that being said, what are my goals this year?
Read MoreI don’t think I’m alone in saying 2020 was a messed up year. But that’s too big a topic, to begin with, so let’s talk about how it affected my reading. For the last 2 years, I had set my reading goal at 50 books a year, comfortably hit about 40 by the beginning of December, then had a mad rush to complete the list by New Year’s Eve, which somehow I managed. However, to avoid that mad rush in 2020, I lowered my goal to 30. But then, due to lockdown, I achieved that by about June. So I reluctantly set the goal back up to 50… So here are all the books I read in 2020 (spoiler: it’s more than 50).
Read MoreThese are the albums I’ve had on repeat all year (just ask my fiance!). Not all of them necessarily came out this year, but they’re the ones that pulled me through this madness…
Read MoreAfter my latest single ‘dungarees’ came out, me and my friend Amelia Mandeville, author of Every Colour of You and The Missing Pieces of Me, chatted for a bonus episode of my podcast all about writing, In Our Own Words.
Read MoreI’m so so excited to announce that my new presets are now on sale! I’ve spent so long working on these and perfecting them so they work with many different photos, and I’m so pleased with how they’ve turned out.
Read MoreYES I KNOW. It’s only November.
But I like to spread my shopping (and the cost) out as much as I can, and I’m not organised enough to start doing that in June like my sister. With a lot of independent businesses struggling due to lockdown, I thought I’d curate a list of my favourite independent shops for you!
Read MoreI was so so excited when this came through my door yesterday afternoon. I absolutely love Beth’s writing and I was so intrigued by the premise of this book. It came in this stunning custom wrapping paper I tried so hard not to rip.
The Road Trip follows an ex-couple, their friends and a stranger on a road trip up to Scotland for a wedding, and it explores the messy history they all have.
Read MoreI’m an absolute sucker for a cosy film. A film you can have on and be reminded of your childhood when you didn’t have anything to worry about. A film that you don’t have to think too deeply about or a film that pulls you in so much that nothing else matters.
So, here’s what I watch on Disney Plus to boost my mood.
Read MoreHere’s a list of books that I’ve loved, that have changed the way I’ve looked at things. They’re all non-fiction and I love them all for such different reasons.
Read Moredungarees is all about finding happiness, comfort and home. It’s all about finding happiness in comfort in so many areas of life; friendships, relationships or what we wear. And that doesn’t mean we have to stop having adventures, it just means we have someone to do it with and a great pair of dungarees to have them in.
Read MoreWhen I saw this book was coming out I was, of course, very excited, but I didn’t really look into what the book was, or who it would follow. I simply saw the words “Hunger Games” and “prequel” and I was sold.
Read MoreOn Tuesday 1st October 2019, musician Alice Ashcroft released a new type of song which demonstrates her growth as a female Indie artist. Experimenting with new sounds and an unfamiliar time signature, the deep synths and catchy pop beats are combined with mandolins and bassy strings in a folky instrumental section in a wonderful fusion of genres.
Read MoreWhenever I unlocked my phone, I scrolled through apps for something to do. That was it. No big crash or bang. It wasn’t me looking at my screen-time report. I just kept scrolling.
So I decided to make a change and use my phone less.
Read MoreThe Harry Potter novels show Harry as a leader in many ways. Starting in his friendship group, and then going on to lead the Quidditch team and Dumbledore’s Army. He clearly naturally takes the leadership role throughout the books, be it good or bad. So, what can we learn from him?
