  • Ones to Watch: Great Film Adaptions of Great Novels

    There is a lot of satisfaction when, coming out of the cinema or tuning off the DVD player, you can say “It wasn’t as good as the book”. And then you bore your friends/partner/family by ranting about what the film adaption left out from the book, and how those missing pieces are what made the…

  • Book Series that Defined My Childhood

    For as long as I can remember I’ve been a bookworm. My mum always feared I would struggle in school, because as a toddler I couldn’t do 4 piece jigsaws or figure out shape sorter toys, but when I brought a book home and read it to her, her fears more or less went away. Childhood literature…

  • Victoria Park, London

    After a stressful Sunday morning of my phone suddenly dying on me and wondering how I could ever live without it, I decided to wander around Victoria Park in London to take photos and to relax.

For this very similar post I’m going to talk/ramble/gush about which novels I have read (and nothing else by the author). And of course there are abundant novels out there, more than I…

  • Poisoned Paradise Polaroids

    A few months ago The Impossible Project released a new range of film for 600 type polaroid cameras (see here). Three choices for the ‘Poisoned Paradise’ theme: colour film with different patterned frames of tiny snakes entwining around exotic flowers. It was love at first sight as I became over excited and ordered the triple pack to test all…

  • A Few of my Favourite Authors..

    A bookworm since I first learnt to read, and an English Literature undergraduate, I thought it was time I wrote a blog post about my favourite thing in the world (besides tea, dogs, travels, and elephants..) I have conducted a list of a few authors whom I admire, and that I have read more than…
