making life a little sweeter
This past Christmas season was hectic in so many ways for me but though it all, I had some really great moments. I always take random photos here and there. Some of them make it to my insta while others just get lost in my camera roll. I wanted to share some here as a… Continue reading Christmastide ’22
Before the new year begins, I wanted to share my To-Be-Read shelf. Not the whole thing of course. As I previously mentioned in my Book-Buying-Ban post here, the number of books on my shelves that I haven't read is embarrassingly large so I won't share all the titles; but I was thinking of sharing those… Continue reading The TBR Shelf
5/5 Stars!!! Twisted-toxic family dynamics, sordid secrets, and a treasure hunt with tragic outcomes along the way -this is The Skeleton Key by Erin Kelly. This deeply disturbing book follows the Churcher and Lally families who live in semi-detached houses next to one another and have grown up with another, sharing everything; the good, the… Continue reading The Skeleton Key, Erin Kelly
As mentioned in my previous Studio Tour post here, I took far more photos then I had realised so here is my volume II of my photo diary from our visit to the tour in October. I really loved the tour. I must say I do find it hard to enjoy at times. I have… Continue reading Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter – Vol. II
After devouring my way way through The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (read about that here), I was eager to delve into more of her work. Her work is very reminiscent to that of Erin Morgenstein or Oscar de Muriel to me. It has the ability to completely transport you to their created world which… Continue reading Mexican Gothic, Silvia Moreno-Garcia
As October began, we had a long-awaited date night in the diary which we were both so excited for; Life at Rochester Cathedral. An exhibition put on by the artist collective Luxmuralis, the cathedral was transformed into a showcase of innovative art. Through visuals and sound they immerse their audiences into their work. In this… Continue reading Life at Rochester Cathedral
The second in the All Souls Trilogy, Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness is a great follow-up from A Discovery of Witches. It picks up where the first book finished, with Matthew and Diana travelling back to Elizabethan London in search for the alchemical manuscript Ashmole 782 but they're also in search of a teacher… Continue reading Shadow of Night, Deborah Harkness
I have heard of the concept of a book-buying ban before but never really thought about doing one myself or what it would entail. It weren't until my recent book-splurge and ultimately trying to find room for all my buys, that I started to realise how many books that are still unread on my shelves.… Continue reading BBB: The Book-Buying-Ban
Whilst away in September, we took a day trip down to York. Like Whitby, I have been here before however once again I was in a wheelchair and unable to really enjoy the shops and experience everything fully. A lot of York is similar to Canterbury; so much is historic so it's not the most… Continue reading Photo Diary: York
Back in October, we visited The Making of Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour yet again but this time it was slightly different. I wanted to go for my birthday; to have butterbeer ice cream and see the floating pumpkins in the Great Hall for Halloween. We've been quite a few times before and for… Continue reading Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter – Vol. I
