Five of My Favourite Bookish Social Media Accounts

I don’t know about all you other bloggers out there, but I spend most of my time on the internet. Okay, perhaps not most of my time (I sleep a lot too). It’s pretty safe to say that I spend a lot (too much?) of my time online, though. The possibilities are endless, especially now that I’ve discovered the […]

If I Stay by Gayle Forman

The last thing Mia remembers is the music. After the accident, she can still hear it. And she can see her damaged body being taken from the wreck of her parents’ car — even though she can’t feel a thing. All she can do is watch as doctors rush to save her life, as her […]

Fruity Popsicles (with strawberry, banana and mango)

Summer is coming, which means I’ve got my freezer stocked up on popsicles 24/7. I’ve been wanting to make my own popsicles for ages now, and last week, on one of the handful of hot days we’ve had so far, I figured I’d give it a try. I had some strawberries left that really needed […]

May has now officially ended, so that means it’s high time I got another Monthly Recap together. Unfortunately, there isn’t much to recap this month, as it’s been uncharacteristically quiet over here. On Saturday I posted my first blogpost in over two weeks! As I explained in that post the reason why I’ve been away is […]

London Book Haul

Sooo…. How to start this post. I’ve only been gone for a little over two weeks, but it kind of feels like an eternity to me! This was the longest time I haven’t written a blogpost since I started this blog, and I felt really uncomfortable with it, but I just didn’t have the time. As those of […]

A Week in Normandy

Last week (the first full week of May) I went on a little vacation to Normandy, France with my parents and one of my best friends, Yvonne. When I was still in high school we used to go there, to a tiny village called Anneville (nice, eh?), pretty much every year, but I hadn’t been […]
