I finished some books and started some books. I currently have six sitting on my bedside table, which is far too many but I started reading far too many, so that’s on me. This month I read some manga (don’t ask me why, ask my sister who started me on this path) and finished the … Continue reading January 2024 Reads

While I know some people struggle with the way Sally Rooney’s books are written (there are no quotation marks for dialogue), I really enjoy it. I like that it’s different, even to the … Continue reading October 2023 Reads

I’ve been reading more lately, which is such a joy. While I don’t always feel like it, it is always worth it as soon as I begin.

I’ve still enjoyed going through them, and even though I haven’t read … Continue reading January 2023 Reads

I only just realised I haven’t posted a reading list since August. While my reading has slowed down a little bit, I am still reading everyday and slowly making my way through a few at a time.

I’ve been loving reading books about writing lately. Not only did I finish three, I’m currently in the midst of another three!
