I remember being so excited about World Book Day as a kid. At school we would all get a book token worth one pound, which we could take to a local bookshop and exchange for a book which had, if I remember correctly, been written especially for the event. The books were always shit, year… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #17 – World Book Day Was Always Disappointing When I Was A Kid

100 Days Of Blogging #6 – Bites From A Few Books
Oh hell. This growing older thing is freaking. me. out. I was having a good day until it smacked me in the face that I'm nearly forty. And I just got really scared. But I'm not here tonight to talk about the terrible speed at which I'm approaching middle age. Who needs that on a Sunday, right?… Continue reading 100 Days Of Blogging #6 – Bites From A Few Books
36 Today But In Dog Years I’m Dead
It's most certainly been a day. Not the happiest birthday I've ever had, nor the saddest. I was going to write a book-length post about 36 things I've learned in the 36 years I've been alive. But I've probably not learned enough to be qualified to write such a thing, especially considering my track record… Continue reading 36 Today But In Dog Years I’m Dead
My Favourite Books From 2021 – Part Three
Ah fuck. I started this entry much later than I initially planned. I have a good excuse, though. I've been working on my Year Compass for most of the day and was determined to get it completed. Curious? You can download your Year Compass here. It'll be beneficial if you're still unsure about what you… Continue reading My Favourite Books From 2021 – Part Three
My Favourite Books From 2021 – Part Two
I have hauled myself away from Etsy - where I've been looking at chainmail bras and swords - to write this post. I've lit a candle and put on Darkher's gorgeous new song Lowly Weep in an attempt to focus my fluttering attention span. It's getting somewhat ridiculous now, and it's starting to worry me.… Continue reading My Favourite Books From 2021 – Part Two
My Favourite Books From 2021 – Part One
I know we're almost into the end of January, but this month of the Wolf Moon has been a bit of a bitch, and I'm permitting myself to post my 2021 reflections later than is commonly expected by the internet. In January 2021, I set out to read 100 books during the year, as is… Continue reading My Favourite Books From 2021 – Part One
What Wyrd Shit Is She Up To Now?
Friends, hello. This week has been a beast determined to eat me from the inside out. I've been feeling weak and moody and hellishly frustrated at not being able to march forward at my usual pace. (Oh, and my stomach is still giving me grief.) I sat down today, though and gave myself a good… Continue reading What Wyrd Shit Is She Up To Now?
See You On The Other Side Of The Crow Moon
This past week hasn't been especially easy. (I'm really not happy with how much of a struggle this year has been thus far. It seems I'm pretty much always starting a post telling you about how difficult life is.) Mid-week, I was plagued, yet again, with severe health anxieties that had a detrimental effect on… Continue reading See You On The Other Side Of The Crow Moon
Scribd – It Was Too Good To Be True
I was supposed to be writing about Winter today, but as it turns out, I have to interrupt my posting schedule with something that's really pissed me off. I feel I must tell you about it right now because I want to ensure you don't find yourself in the same depressing-as-fuck situation as me. You… Continue reading Scribd – It Was Too Good To Be True
It’s Been A Strange Day – Sunday Musings
It's been a strange day. The whole weekend has been odd, actually. I've been kind of floating around, feeling all out of sorts, and I haven't been able to put my finger on exactly why I'm feeling this way. I don't know if it's because we're approaching the end of winter, or because my poetry… Continue reading It’s Been A Strange Day – Sunday Musings
