Hello friends! Welcome to another instalment of What I'm Reading Wednesday. I hope that you all enjoyed last week's guest post by Isabella from LOVE and WARdrobe.

With some more guest posts booked in over … Continue reading What I’m Reading Wednesday – 01/05/13
After tackling the emotional imbalance brought about by completing Suite Francaise, I was in desperate need of something relatively light and plot-driven as a break for my tear ducts. Having heard some great things about Michael Grant's dystopian series, and finding myself bombarded with WH Smith adverts to the effect of 'buy this book right now', I … Continue reading Review: Gone by Michael Grant
Following yesterday's post, what could be more appropriate? Wishing you all a wonderful week!
Sitting down to write a rough schedule for upcoming reviews and attempting to ensure some variety between new-to-me reads and old favourites, there was one book that I struggled to decide whether to add. Coming top in my estimation of the classics, Jane Eyre is a book that has been my constant companion since I first … Continue reading The Ultimate Literary Heroine: Jane Eyre

One particular source of excitement brought about by this week was the birthday … Continue reading Just for Fun Friday: Throwing Insults Like Shakespeare

Given that, if you look to spot me in the street, I will usually be sporting a plaid shirt and/or bandana of some description, it may come as … Continue reading What I’m Reading Guest Post: Isabella from LOVE & WARdrobe
Evening all! Those reading this blog since its inception (and anyone who has even a passing acquaintance with me) will know that I absolutely love living within an easy distance of London. Studying in the centre of the City means that much of my week is spent travelling back-and-forth for lectures and the like, … Continue reading Literary Excursion: London (Take 1)
Happy World Book Night everyone! Today is important for so many reasons: It is William Shakespeare's birthday! I have been celebrating by sneaking Shakespeare quotes into my conversations and emails (no one noticed, but it made me excessively happy nonetheless). I will also be paying double homage this evening, celebrating both my love of the … Continue reading World Book Night 2013: What Reading Means to Me
Over to one of the greatest mystery writers of all time (and, more importantly, creator of Hercule Poirot's epic moustache)... Have a wonderful week!
