The lovely Becky from blogs-of-a-bookaholic tagged me with some questions to answer so here we go! Would you ever try using a Ouiji board? No – I don’t think I believe in ghosts (I’ve never seen one) and I don’t think you’d know if the glass was moving because of a ghost or someone was moving [...]

I’m it, apparently
I’ve been tagged by the frankly hilarious Thoughts Appear. She gave me a list of questions to answer and I’m feeling the pressure as she said I’d be graded Pop-Tarts: frosted or unfrosted? – I’ve failed at the first hurdle as I don’t think I’ve eaten one, not for many many years anyway. But I [...]

Why it costs more to be a woman
If women didn’t exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning. ~Aristotle Onassis I read a column in Grazia last week that quoted a report from an America magazine which found it costs more to be women. I always knew that being a woman has its pros and cons (hello, childbirth!) but this article says [...]

The Hunger Games vs. Twilight
I went to see The Hunger Games yesterday. I won’t post another review as I’m a long way behind the rest (although I will say I loved it). Instead, in honour of the film and another favourite of mine Twilight, I thought I’d pitch the YA series’ against each other. Warning: contains spoilers so don’t [...]

Scary similarities to Liz Lemon
I just started watching my 30 Rock series 5 box set and more than enough I was confronted by the uncomfortable truth – I share a lot of similarities with the main character Liz Lemon. I say confronted, my mum pointed it out every helpfully! If you’ve never seen the show, Liz Lemon is head writer [...]

Back in time
I recently watched Midnight in Paris – a 2011 Woody Allen film about a struggling American writer on holiday in Paris with his fiancée. The lead character Gil wishes in lived in Paris in the 1920′s when everything was far more magical and inspiring for writers and one night his fantasy comes true. I really enjoyed [...]

My library dream
Ever since I watched Beauty and the Beast, I’ve dreamed of having my very own library like the one in the Beast’s castle or at the very least a huge bookshelf of my very own. At the moment, I lack enough space but I keep buying books anyway in the hopes that one day [...]

Perfect endings
I watched Something Borrowed at the weekend and when it finished, I felt compelled to disagree with its ending on Facebook. Usually I find rom coms thoroughly predictable, which I like because I can root for the couple through the film and feel happy at the end. This one through me a curve ball as the [...]

Guide to winning the lottery
I just finished the funny “Lia’s guide to winning the lottery” by Keren David, a YA book about a teenage London girl who wins £8 million on the lottery. Here’s what I learnt: * Most women who win the lottery store the ticket in their bras for safe keeping * If you go public with [...]

Just a girl
I don’t think I would have put my hand up when asked if I was a girlie girl when I was a teenager. But spending my Sunday relaxing in a bubble bath using a body scrub and hair mask, I realised that I am definitely one now. I may not like pink but I definitely [...]
