Ultimate Christmas Playlist

Featured Monday Morning TeaLeave a comment

There is something so satisfying about creating a playlist of all the best songs and then just letting it play! From late November up until Christmas Day there is generally some sort of christmas music being played in my house. I did try and play some festive songs at the start of November, but my… Continue reading Ultimate Christmas Playlist

Happy Friday you beautiful thing! My first week back working was definitely quite a bumpy one. But, it’s done a dusted and now I’ve got a long weekend to look forward to where I plan to just read as much as I can! . The one thing I’ve struggled with this week is reading and prioritising it. I mean I’ve got a bloody huge book to finish. As much as I adore #outlander this book is 900 pages and might be the reason for me heading towards a reading slump. So, I’m gonna put it away for the weekend and pull out some short easy reads to get me back into things ❤️ . How do you get out of a reading slump?

“Some days I’m a goddess. Some days I’m a mess. Some days I’m a wild child. Most days I’m all three. But everyday I’m here. Trying.” . Happy Monday! Things are inching their way back to normality for me. I’m finally able to teach my students again which is great, but also really stressful as it’s been over two months and now I’m just jumping straight back in! However, I’m grateful that I’ve still got them. ❤️ . Over the weekend I watched #outlander and it has broken me... the writing and everything about the show is just amazing that I can’t make an episode without crying. So, obviously I got the book and am now reading that too! Because when something makes you feel that deeply it’s such a beautiful gift ❤️ But it’s a bloody huge book so I think that will be taking up my week in between work. . What are you reading right now? I’d love to know!

First off... 100 followers! It might not seem like a lot to some but to me it’s pretty special, so thank you all you lovely people! . This morning was so lovely, I sat and read with a coffee then watched some friends as I got ready for the day. Slow mornings are the best. For me, if my morning is not a calm one it can really affect my anxiety. So today is definitely a good one! . Reading @disneybooks twisted tales is so fascinating! I love beauty and the beast and so finding a version of that that makes Belle into an even more kick ass main character is amazing ❤️

I am living for these cold mornings right now! Winter is my favourite season and I get ridiculously excited about it... probably a bit weird to get excited over a season... anyway. . I have bought so many books during this quarantine it’s not funny... my TBR is no longer a shelf but a whole bookcase. I picked up Turtles All The Way Down the other day and I’m so excited to read it because I know it has a mental health theme in it which I am all for! Have you been buying more books during quarantine? Or is it just me.....

“He said: don’t you feel lonely living in your own little world? She whispered: don’t you feel powerless living in other peoples worlds?” - F. G. . I’ve started on a wonderful road of discovery with classics. I’m kinda ashamed to say that I haven’t actually read that many. Although I love them dearly, I want to read as many as I can this year. I set myself a goal to read one a month. May’s classic was Jane Eyre - I ended up reading it in a week... it had some of the most beautiful phrasing and dialogue I’ve ever read. Up next on the classics is good ole Jane Austen! . I know some of you are working or studying or still stuck at home so I wanted to say on this beautiful Monday that you are amazing and can do anything you want to! Have the happiest day! ❤️

So, I feel like I’m super late to the game in this whole phenomenon. Normal People has just exploded into the world and I was really dubious to read it at first as I often find things can get ‘over’ hyped. But, oh my word, hold crap was I wrong! I watched the first episode and fell in love, but realised I wanted to read the book first so picked it up and whizzed through it in a day. I’ve never read a more honest book. Sally just isn’t afraid to talk about the real things about relationships and life in general. I felt a huge connection to Marianne and so much of the stuff she went through I could relate too. I will say that I got triggered a little with some of the subject matter, so be careful and stop reading it if you need to! . I’d also love some more book recommendations - I’m in a literary fiction mood so please let me know your favs!
