I’ve just been reading Not My Father’s Son by Alan Cumming and these words jumped out at me from the page. I think it’s great advice for all walks of live and I’m definitely going to try to do each of these things more. If you haven’t read the book I would highly recommend it…. Read more »

The Book Corner: The Book Amnesty (that wasn’t)
At the start of the year I told myself that I was not allowed to buy any more books until we’ve moved house. For the simple reason that considering packing all of my current books gives me chills. To add any more books to the pile just seems absurd. I figured, how hard can it… Read more »
The Book Corner: The Rosie Project vs The Rosie Effect
The Rosie Project was one of my favourite books of last year. It had me crying with laughter and thrusting it into the hands of everyone I know with the simple words ‘you’ll love it’. So it’s no surprise that I was absolutely gagging to get my hands on the sequel, The Rosie Effect…. Read more »
The Book Corner: A Wishlist
There’s nothing I like doing more than making a wishlist. Wishlists are fun. You can mentally shop for something without actually spending money. Then when you do have money you can look back at your wishlist to see what it is that you want to buy. See clever clever things indeed. Plus if anyone ever… Read more »
The Book Corner: Books of 2014
As you know both Fi and I are mahoosive bookworms. Give us a spare hour and a good book and we’ll both be happy bunnies. On that note we have decided to create a 2014 bookish update as a way to look back and reflect on particular highlights (and low lights) on our 2014 reading… Read more »
The Book Corner: My favourite wintery reads
It’s no secret that I’m a massive bookworm. Put simply you can’t beat curling up on the sofa and losing yourself in a good book. That couldn’t be truer in the winter when it’s dark by 4pm and the weather is dreadful, you have a legitimate reason not to leave the house, in fact it’s… Read more »
The Book Corner: An A to Z of books
Happy Monday you lovely people, how did the weekend treat you? Well, I hope! I for one made the most of the rubbish weather yesterday and planted myself on the sofa with a good book and my laptop. I was totally winning at life! Today I thought I’d hang out in the book corner for… Read more »
The Book Corner: The Harry Potter Tag
Earlier in the year I read about this tag over here on The Book Journal – I love Jennie’s book blog fyi. Ever since then I’ve had the questions in a draft post, ready to be answered. Well I’ve finally been productive and completed the post, so here it is… Which book is your favourite?… Read more »
Books, Books, Books
Hello and welcome to a post about all the books. It was only when I sat down to write this post that I realised that we haven’t talked books since this Desert Island Books post way back when in August. How exactly did that happen? And what an absolute travesty! Don’t worry though, this error… Read more »
Desert Island Books – Five Favourite Books
It’s no secret that Lau and I are bookworms. As children we devoured The Babysitter’s Club, Sweet Valley High, Horrible Histories, most of Roald Dahl, the Animal Ark series and pretty much any books we could get our hands on. Multiple times. So I wouldn’t be surprised if every other post on this new blogging home is… Read more »
