The Wind Up Bird Chronicle – Haruki Murakami

FINALLY. I AM DONE WITH THIS BOOK. I've been swimming in the unhinged words of Murakami since early December, and I think I was beginning to lose brain cells from the absolute lunacy that his work is. I was determined to finish it though, and I am so happy that I finally have 😀 The …

a kind of review of a book of poems

Now We Are Sixty (and a bit) by Christopher Matthew. I didn't think this would be the first book I finished in 2020, but it seems that it is. Honestly, I'm not sure why I read it. I'm in entirely the wrong demographic, as it is aimed to the audience of ageing men, I have …

2019 Reading Wrap up.

I have a good feeling about next year. I'm looking forward to it for many reasons, and the books I hope to read is one of them. I really want to push myself in the new year to delve outside of my comfort zone in terms of reading. I don't anticipate that I will love …

What a Miracle it is

For some of us, books are as important as almost everything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world: worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how …

Yes I did just dedicate a post to Vines

Even though Vine is long dead, I, amongst others, am still mourning the great loss of this generation. The amount of times I quote them daily is probably enough to be concerned about, but I can assure you I will be quoting these until the day I die. In fact I strive for my dying …

Nevermind – Edward St Aubyn

Sorry I've been so inactive! I've been super busy and stressed lately and haven't been able to find a lot of time to read or blog. I'm hoping I will get back to posting more regularly soon 🙂 One of many Patrick Melrose novels, this book explores the imaginative and self sufficient life of 5 …
