I managed to get to 70 books for 2013, and yes, the majority of them have been forgotten already. Logging them on Good Reads has been really useful and I’ve found some great recommendations through it, especially YA books. Anyway, these are my favourites in no particular order, and largely without spoilers: Allegiant by Veronica … More Book review 2013
At the end of each year, I would post this meme in my LJ so I thought I’d transfer it to this blog from now on. 1. Was 2013 a good year for you? On the whole, yes. 2. What was your favourite moment of the year? Watching the sunrise from our balcony at the … More End of the Year Meme
I unashamedly love Christmas. I love getting gifts, I love giving gifts, I love the food, and I love being around my family. And I’ve been lucky enough to have some pretty great Christmases. This year was no different. We stayed at my in-laws Christmas Eve and opened our first gifts there when we woke … More It’s just nice to meet another human that shares my affinity for elf culture

I haven’t been to a PJ party for ages, and unfortunately, I appear to be out of practice as I slept through about half of it. TERRIBLE! I clearly had not re-read the tips for how to … More Grace, put yourself down for a towel too.
This past weekend, my dreams of becoming a roller derby hotshot were laid to rest, as I travelled up to Derby with friends to try out skating. Bearing in mind I can barely walk in flat shoes without falling on my arse, I somehow believed I would get to grips with skating, and would be … More Yeah, let’s celebrate mediocrity! That’s fantastic.
Last night, I saw Catching Fire, which was the third new film I’ve seen at the cinema this year (Mild Concern should be worried that I’m going to start stepping on his toes). I bloody loved it. I read all three of the books on holiday in Malta last year, getting so desperate when I … More Aim higher in case you fall short
