You might have seen my post last week on some book gift suggestions for various types of people, well, today I'm going to make sure you also have the best buying experience whilst purchasing those books. They're gloriously fun, they're beautiful, they make for excellent whacking tools, they sometimes even have dragons in them, but … Continue reading Buying for Christmas
Bookish candles are all the craze at the moment and the bug has certainly bit me. I've been wishing and wishing upon a star that someone in Australia would start such a candle store so that I could buy some - and someone did! Burning Pages Candles is fantabulous and I love it so much - the … Continue reading An Interview with Burning Pages Candles
Good day to you. I hope you're all having a splendiferous week thus far. I'm feeling very pleased with myself in regards to organisation: all my Christmas presents have been sorted and are being secretly squirrelled away until it's time to wrap them. That is quite possibly a record for me. On the other hand, … Continue reading Waiting on Wednesday [#48]
Oh, don't you just love this time of year? I bet you've started to really get concerned with how fast Christmas seems to be approaching.

Hello! Aren't we all excited to be back here for another Top Ten Tuesday? Yes? Good answer! In case you were wondering, I'm thoroughly enjoying lazing about having finished uni - it turns out I'm quite good at doing mostly nothing.

I'd love to say that I'm celebrating in style by offering a giveaway but going on adventures such as leaving reality to work in Disney World leave … Continue reading Just Around the Riverbend: Blogoversary
Today is going to be fun - why? Because I'm telling you, obviously. Actually, today is Mother-In-Law day and as a celebration of that (because why not?) I've decided to do a post inspired by it! There's a delightful website called Days of the Year which tells you what is being celebrated on every day of the … Continue reading Serendipitous Parenting: The Best Motherly Figures
Why hello there. I've been quietly muttering something about the fact that I am writing a book recently, so here we are today, ready to officially introduce it. Cait @ Paper Fury and Sky @ Further Up Further In host this feature (and this month is a special for NaNoWriMo). I've never actually participated in Nation … Continue reading Beautiful Books 2016: What I’m Writing
Hello my lovely, jubly friends. I have some delightfully fantastic news to share with you today. It's genuinely so very exciting and if you don't choke on whatever beverage your drinking, trip-up whilst walking, or gasp out loud when I tell you, then you're simply not excited enough. So allow me to waffle on for … Continue reading It’s Announcement Time
Whilst writing reviews I often ask myself how on earth I define fantasy. Why do I ask myself this? Mostly because I enjoy making my life difficult, but also because Fantasy has those delightful little sub-genres called "Epic" and "High". And if you're really picky there are a million other sub-genres, but these ones bother … Continue reading How to Define Fantasy
