  • Novels to make you think

    Being tied up with university and far too many deadlines has meant my reading for pleasure is on hold for the moment. I miss it. I got so many books for Christmas, and had to leave them all behind *sob*. But I was reflecting on novels I have already read. Novels that stay with you…

  • Men in the Media Who are Awesome Feminists

    There are a lot of discussions when it comes to men and feminism. Can men be feminists? (Erm, yes, ofc). Are they not intimidated by the word feminism? Why not use the term gender equality?

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…

  • 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…
