Where I Have Been/Life Update Post

So before I get started I am going to spilt this post into two parts:

1. Where I Have Been

and

2. A Little Life Update

So let's get started...

1. Where I Have Been

So been over a month- more like two months- since my last blog post. So where did you go, that's probably a common question you are asking right now. Well life happened again, like it always did and by life I mean my laptop hard-drive was completely broken and I waited about a month just to get it back again. So now you see why there have been no blog posts. Not because I hated blogging... Far from it actually as I have a lot of post ideas and I can't wait to get back into the swing of things. But...

2. A Little Life Update

It's been weird how much can life can change in two months but it can. I am no longer at home, I am at University, in my room on my new laptop with a very small bookshelf. So for those of you who are wondering I am currently studying in the Mordern History in a Universirty in the south-east of England and although the first week was very scary, I am really enjoying and the people I am living with are quite nice. This does mean that posts may be quite irregular especially during exam season but still, I get to post again.

There are more posts on the way!

See you soon (I mean it this time)

Favourite Graphic Novels & Manga of 2021

As I have read a lot of books this year, I always want to give graphic novels and manga their own celebration as they often get overlooked and do make up a lot of my reading. I also find that even though I read a lot of them, it takes a lot to convince me and make it a new favourite. So here are my best... Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman Like everyone on the internet, I too am a massive Heartstopper fan and Volume 4 is no different. I love the relationship of Nick and Charlie and the side characters also make the series. This one also explores the way that mental health can impact romance and it still does justice to the story and does not fall into cliches. I am eagerly anticipating the final volume but I don't want it to be over. The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood One of the last graphic novels I read this year and the one that has the second amount of hype, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott also leaves a lasting impression. I love a good Briti

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK | Hive | Goodreads | Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding.
