Since being on holidays, I have gotten back into reading somewhat. Sometimes we just need the right book to get us back into the rhythm of reading, and I’m so glad that’s happened to me. I’m aware that when I head back home and prepare for university next year, I will need to read numerous … Continue reading December 2021 Reads
Honestly, I’m not pleased with only finishing one book this month, and it wasn’t even a great one, but in my spare time I have been doing a lot of cross-stitch, so that’s taking up a lot of my time. I have also made my way through other books this month, I just haven’t completed … Continue reading November 2021 Reads
After last week’s heavier topic, I thought I’d discuss something a bit more fun for this post! I’ve compiled a list of fictional movies I enjoy that feature women I look up to for how they showcase their femininity, each in different ways. I’ll compile a list of books in the following weeks as well, … Continue reading Femininity: A List of Movies
I finished reading one book this month, and it was a short story of only 70 little pages. It would have gone unread on my shelf, only I had to reference it in my final assignment of the trimester, so I dutifully read the entire thing. I loved it. Bartleby, the Scrivener written by Herman … Continue reading September 2021 Reads

Here are my reviews: American Gods (American Gods #1) by Neil Gaiman My rating: 2 of 5 stars I had to read this fantasy fiction for uni; it isn’t something I would naturally gravitate towards. I tend not to read things … Continue reading July 2021 Reading

All in all, not my biggest reading month but hopefully leading to something good. (Also a little reminder that I will be sending out my first newsletter tomorrow! If you … Continue reading June 2021 Reading
The beginning of May did not offer much hope for reading. I felt like I was barely scraping through, hardly picking up anything. But something changed and it ended up being a very big month for reading, which I loved. It really is such a big part of my life. It’s one of the main … Continue reading May 2021 Reading
I read a lot in April because I had my wisdom teeth taken out and I chose to spend the following week reading! It was a good time, and now I’m very ahead on my goal to read 52 books this year. There are lots of books this month, so if you’re still reading by … Continue reading April 2021 Reading
This was a slow month. I finished three books but haven’t made too much progress with what I’m currently reading, either. But that’s okay! Here’s what I read.
