For the longest time, ‘reading The Lord of the Rings‘ was one of those things on my bucket list that I definitely intended to do at some point – but definitely not in the near future. It was intimidating and seemed like it would take up a lot of time (true), so I just put it […]

Last week, when I posted my lemon curd recipe, I already mentioned I’d be posting the recipe for a lemon curd cake soon – and here it is! I made this cake for my birthday a week and a half ago and I can honestly say that it’s one of the best cakes I’ve ever […]

I don’t want to start this post with a huge cliché, but doesn’t time go fast?! We’re already halfway through October and I still have to write up my September mini reviews. In September itself I only posted two things on the blog, including the mini reviews for August. I feel like time goes too […]

I’ve been all about autumn for these past few weeks, but this week my bakes have had a distinctly summery feel to them. I made lemon curd for the first (and second) time in my life!

Read MoreIt’s been a while, but I filmed a video again! Next month, Becca (from Becca and the Books) is running the Bookoplathon, which is a readathon based on Monopoly. Becca created a Monopoly board full of reading prompts, and you put together your TBR based on the spaces you end up on, which is of […]

We’re already nearing the end of August, and July feels like ages ago, but I still need to write my mini reviews! I love that I’ve been doing it every month in 2020 so far, and I’m not going to stop now, so let’s see if I still remember my thoughts on these books… July […]

Usually, when I feel the urge to write one of these What I’ve Been Up To posts, it’s because there’s been some big change in my life, like when I wrote a novel or found a new job. We’re still in the middle of a pandemic, though, and have been for a while now (I’m […]
