These are the books I read in October, plus some thoughts about them. That’s it. That’s the post. This portrait photo of me is by my incredibly talented friend, Sólveig, and you should follow her Instagram right now, and then read about these books below.

Autumn in Bruges.
Welcome to Bruges, Belgium, a little town of bridges, gingerbread houses overlooking the canals, colourful buildings and brilliantly vibrant orange trees in late autumn. I visited a friend in her very ‘grammable new home, where I spent the lovely last glimpse of warm weather wandering the cobblestone streets, crossing bridges and stepping out of the […]

Five Favourite Things: October.
October’s over, but I can look back with a little appreciation at the things I enjoyed through the month. October leaves Everything is brilliantly orange and gold in Berlin right now, and I’m here for it. In October I took myself for a few walks at the crisply golden hour of the afternoon, when the […]

November Goals.
November, November. The year is very rapidly drawing to a close, and so I must once again take stock of the ambitious goals I set myself for the remaining days. Last month I wanted to write a set amount and read a set amount that I did not accomplish. Perhaps November, with its cold nights […]

October Goals.
And onwards into October. To set the scene, Berlin has descended into a hard and fast winter, where I’ve been caught out unexpectedly in 2 degree temperatures with only a jacket because I didn’t know it would be so cold, so fast. But I’ve pulled all my long socks, jumpers and scarves from their boxes […]

September Book Wrap Up.
As a book end to September, I’d like to look back on the books I’ve read this month, and what I thought of them. Over summer I was lost in a Greek mythology spiral which carried over into September. I can now say I’ve officially read the Odyssey, and I’m planning to go backwards and […]

How I plot a novel story structure (free template).
If you’re writing a story for Wattpad, or a novel you want to publish one day, you might start by writing chapter one and two, and then you might get stuck. Without a plot structure, it’s easy to get lost and not know how to get to your ending. You know, that happy ending that […]

June Goals.
Been a little absent on this blog lately as I’ve been swept up in work, writing, life, etc.. but hello again. Thought I might get back into the swing of bloggin’ with a goals list (the first of which, naturally, is to Blog More). Since just about my last update I’ve moved into a new […]

How to celebrate International Women’s Day in Berlin (2019)
March 8 is International Women’s Day, or Frauen*kampftag in Germany, a day to commemorate the fight for women’s rights, and to celebrate how far we’ve come. This year, for the very first time, Berlin is getting a public holiday to mark the occasion. Which means you’ll be looking for something to do, right?

January Book Wrap Up.
In January I’ve read 5 books, although 3 of them were Harry Potter, so I won’t go into details about those because you know them all already. I do a HP reread every few years and it’s always an absolute delight, naturally. This time is no different. Here’s what else I read…

The books I read in 2018.
In 2018 I read 51 books, after pledging to read 50 in my Goodreads challenge. I’ve seen a few other book bloggers do some analysis of figures of their reading lists and I thought I’d take a look at my own list and crunch the numbers. If you’re a numbers person, this one’s for you.

My 2018 highlights.
Okay so I know we’re more than a week into the New Year but I let it go by without really taking a moment to be proud of myself for my little accomplishments within the inconsequential social construct of the calendar year, so here you go. I know everyone hates these self-congratulatory posts, but as […]
