It’s nearly April, which means the Magical Readathon is upon us! I participated last year and absolutely loved it, so I’m excited to join again in 2020. In this video, I tell you all about my TBR for the O.W.L.s. If you want to know more about the readathon, I recommend taking a look at […]

The first month of 2020 is over! I was looking forward to starting a brand new reading year in January and although I didn’t have a set TBR at the start of the month, I did end up sort of participating in a readathon halfway through. It’s called the Backlist Bookathon and it’s all about […]

Back in November 2017, I wrote one of these What I’ve Been Up To posts telling you all about the novel I was going to write. My plan was to outline it during NaNoWriMo that month and then to start writing it afterward. Here’s what I said: I’m feeling pretty good about it! The plan […]
