Book Review – Malice by Keigo Higashino
So I read a book that isn't my usual style, I came across this on my recommended reads and after reading a couple of reviews - people using the phrase "unexpected" and "twists" got me intregued.

Quarantine life and my lack of productivity
So this year should have been me seizing the opportunity and getting more writing done, I have done a little, but I also have done a lot of procrastinating, and well - a lot of nothing.

Joke is on you
Everything is a joke to you, Even when I've done wrong, You make me laugh when I'm worried and tell me off with your song.

Words to keep you safe
As I sit here on my chair, Thinking of you, your fluffy grey hair. Your wrinkly face, and your translucent skin, A smile that could forgive a thousands sins.

Wow - Jesus. It's almost April, this weekend I am visiting London to see the Tutankahmun exhibition before it leaves never to travel again, and I am hoping to find some good book shops for me to get treasures!

Book review – Beautiful Creatures
"A long time a go..." I bought Twilight when it first came out, and I was hooked, I hung onto everywork, and loved the simplicity of it at the time, and afterwards, I felt a hole, that couldnt be filled by any "guilty pleasure" book - (apart from the notebook!) and have often wondered if … Continue reading Book review – Beautiful Creatures
