Top Ten Reads of 2023

Top Ten Reads of 2023

Ah, another top-ten list, this time of my most darling reads of the year. I should put a little disclaimer that I do not say these are objectively the best books of 2023 but rather the books I personally liked the most. I also have 

Penguin Clothbound Classics + Minis

I am once again making a list of all the clothbound Penguin books I want to buy so that this will (fingers crossed) stop me from impulse buying them all. I am not someone that will buy an entire style series unless I love them

I am so glad I set this little spring reading challenge for myself this year. The season was much more uncertain and stressful than I could ever have anticipated. Luckily, I chose some lighthearted reading that provided an escape from the chaos that was my

Look, I know that you know that I love Halloween. It doesn’t need to be said here again, so let’s skip that part and get to the books! I want to really make the most of the season! That means I will fabricate a gothic

Thinking About…Dwarsligger

Picture this, it’s 2011 I am alone and wandering through Kings Cross Station in London. Why? I can’t remember. It’s strange that I would be travelling by myself from my town in England to London. Maybe this explains why I had so much time before
