The Book Corner: A Fictional Bucket List
Losing myself in the wonderful worlds described in books is one of my favourite things. To escape from whatever else is going on in my life, or the world, is a marvelous thing and the fact that mere books and words can transport us is just extraordinary. I don’t think it’ll ever get old! So… Read more »

The Book Corner: A Few Favourite Reads
Let’s talk about books. It’s been a while since we’ve had a bookish conversation around here. In truth I fell out of reading at the end of last year.

Yep JK has this right. Books are indeed full of magic, and finding a good one, one which grips you right to the end, is magical indeed. Whether it’s a twisty turning plot, exceptionally real characters or a story that grabs you from the off, when you find that book it’s one of the best… Read more »

Captivating. Horrifying. Intriguing. Uncomfortable. Addictive. These are just some of the thoughts I have about Only Ever Yours by Louise O’Neill. Before I get into all my feelings on this book, let me tell you a little bit about it.This novel tells the story of Frieda and Isabel who are bred (as all girls are) into… Read more »
