Regular readers will know for the last few of these twice yearly posts, it’s been 6 Reads in 6 Months - however, with my anxiety taking a bit more of a front seat given the recent events, I’ve certainly been working my way through my bookcase a lot quicker than usual. So, I’ve renamed it … Continue reading 6 Monthly Reading Roundup: July to December 2020
It’s time to churn out another edition of my Tay-Tay Top Five, and today it’s all about the album that I have the biggest emotional connection to - 1989. The 1989 album was one that I discovered in the run-up to my wedding and it’s the album that turned me into a full-blown Swiftie. I … Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: 1989
It’s time for another Tay-Tay Top Five! As we’re sticking in sequence, today is all about Reputation. I feel as though Reputation has well... a bad reputation compared to Taylor’s other albums. It was released following all the public feuds with the likes of Kanye West, Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian; and while the Swifties … Continue reading Tay-Tay Top Five: Reputation

As we enter June, it’s time for another 6 Reads in 6 Months post! It doesn’t feel like that long ago I was putting together my last one, but I guess the last few months have all merged anyway with everything going on. Since I rediscovered my love of reading last year, I’ve been determined … Continue reading 6 Reads in 6 Months: January to June 2020
I was very late to the party with podcasts in that I didn’t start listening to them until about 2 years ago. Podcasts became a firm fixture on our morning commutes once I started my job working in Bath, making the 30-40 minute trip each way a little more bearable. Given the current situation (the … Continue reading The Best Podcasts to Listen To Right Now: My Four Top Picks
I always remember World Book Day being one of my favourite events when I was at school. It appears to now be a much bigger event at schools here in the UK, with kids dressing up as their favourite characters and schools holding huge events and such, but back when I was a kid, I … Continue reading My Five Favourite Children’s Books | World Book Day 2020
My own mental health condition means that I tend to take a liking towards films and TV shows that feature mental health themes. Obviously they’re not the only things I watch, but as an ex-psychology student, my curiosity gets the better of me.
