Fridays seem to appear more frequently now that I’m dedicated to posting something creative. I suppose this is a good thing? Once my short stories for my writing unit have been marked, I have permission from my lecturer to post them on my blog.

July 2019 Reading
Okay, this monthly wrap-up is much, much shorter than all my others have been, and I know you’re all sighing with relief because boy-oh-boy are the other ones way too long to read properly.

With lectures starting on… Continue reading Wuthering Heights (is my life now)

For today's blog post I thought I'd recommend three novels that surround writing. In each book our protagonist is an aspiring writer of sorts. (Please forget that I made 'Creative Fridays' because honestly, that was being incredibly optimistic.) Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell Part of this book's appeal is Rainbow Rowell's gorgeous writing. It's a book… Continue reading Writing: Fiction / Book Recs
