We’re living in strange times and have been for about a year now. It’s weird; everyone’s talking about ‘going back to normal’, but I can’t even truly imagine normal anymore. These days, ‘normal’ feels like staying home, seeing maybe one person at a time and making sure you’re home before nine, when curfew starts. So, I can’t […]
Read MoreIn February, I only read three books, which isn’t a lot for me. However, I wasn’t expecting to read a large quantity of books, because my main focus was The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, which is an epic fantasy novel of quite epic proportions.

On Friday, it was World Nutella Day (don’t ask me why I know these things…) so I was inspired to bake something with everyone’s favourite hazelnut spread! It ended up being a cookie pie – something I’d never made before but that’s always seemed like a great idea to try sometime. I was right! When I […]
Read MoreAs I mentioned in my final mini reviews post of 2020, I’m going to do things a little bit differently in 2021. I’m no longer writing mini reviews every single month, but instead I’m filming them for one big mini review video at the end of every month. However, I am aiming to write more full length […]

In an isolated college town in the hills of Southern California, a freshman girl stumbles into her dorm room, falls asleep—and doesn’t wake up. She sleeps through the morning, into the evening. Her roommate, Mei, cannot rouse her. Neither can the paramedics who carry her away, nor the perplexed doctors at the hospital. Then a […]
Read MoreWe’re already nearing the end of January, but I still wanted to talk about my most anticipated releases for the year, since there are a couple of books that I’m really excited about! Some of my favourite authors are coming out with new books, so it’s going to be a great year. Hopefully I’ll get […]
