I’ve read a few adult books recently (Before I go to sleep, A discovery of witches, Miracle on Regent street) and much as I love reading, I felt young adult withdrawal kick in and I was desperate to pick up a YA book and leap in. The more I read (and write YA), the more [...]

An old fashioned romance
I love a good old-fashioned romance. For someone who read and watches Jane Austen with envy, I am always on the look out for something that makes my romantic fantasies stand to attention.

Pretty Little Liars & Somebody Else’s Life (Friday Finds)

It’s an American teen drama about a group of girls who are stalked by the mysterious ’A’ after the death of their Queen Bee. ‘A’ somehow knows all their secrets and they have a lot of secrets! This show is weirdly compelling with some real scares thrown in alongside the typical [...]

A journal, new music, book tip and a poem (Friday Finds)
I brought this gorgeous journal from Amazon. Yes, it’s titled “Believe in Yourself” – pretty perfect, right? I do love stationery and this journal is the perfect place to write down thoughts, poems and quotes. Even though I won’t use it as a diary (hey, I have a blog for that), I’m excited to write something down in it. And [...]

This week, I’ve been listening to Birdy’s album. It’s a beautiful, relaxing collection of cover versions with a folky twist and Bridy’s voice is amazing especially considering she’s only 15. It’s very chilled so you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy it and as you know it’s been a reflective week for me [...]

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 [...]

Chalet Girl This week, I watched Chalet Girl – a romantic comedy set in a ski resort starring Felicity Jones and Ed Westwick (see Gossip Girl). I actually really enjoyed this film, it’s light hearted and fun with some laugh out loud moments and a happy ending that will leave you all warm and fuzzy. [...]
