The 10th December 2021, marks 20 years(!) since the premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring at the Odeon Leicester Square in London…That makes me feel old, lol! 😅 I was 13 when the first movie was released and have such fond memories of seeing the trilogy with my family. Even if my sister did fall asleep in the cinema. 😉 So, I thought it…

10 Bookish Questions Tag
I was kindly tagged to answer the 10 Bookish Questions tag – and as reading is one of my favourite passtimes, I couldn’t say know. I’ve also always enjoyed answering tags so this one is pretty perfect for me. So, without further ado… The 10 Bookish Questions Tag 1. How many books do you currently own? Far too many to count! I have two bookcases full of books and more…

The Sister Tag | P.S. I’m An Auntie!
In case the title wasn’t clear enough… I’m now an Auntie! 😀 Yep, my sister gave birth to two beautiful twins (a boy and a girl) last week.

The Hallotober Tag
It’s no secret that I love Halloween; in fact, it’s my favourite holiday, seconded only by Christmas. So when I heard that Jordanne had created the Hallotober Tag this year, I crossed my fingers hoping I’d be nominated. What I didn’t expect, however, was to be nominated, not once, not twice, but four(!) times, by some wonderfully talented bloggers. So thank you to Claire of Our Favourite Jar, Katie of…

Have you ever? Fandom Edition
Being a geek I have a fair share of favourite fandoms, the main ones being Buffy the vampire slayer and Star Wars, but there are others too (like Doctor Who and True Blood). So when I saw that Michelle of A Geek Girls Guide had created a tag specifically for fandoms, I couldn’t resist. Because, to me, my love of fandoms has given me so many wonderful experiences, from meeting…

Have You Ever? Tag – Convention Edition
For me, the end of July usually means London Film and Comic Con, which is one of the highlights of the convention calendar for me. It also marks the Summer – Autumn convention season, which means I get to spend time with my convention family and like minded people. But sadly, like most large events most conventions been put on hold until later in the year. 🙁 Which is a…

It’s the 1st of September which means children across the UK are opening their letters and beginning their journey to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…. well, in the fictional world at least! 😉 So to mark the occasion, I thought I’d celebrate this wonderful book and movie series by answering the Back to Hogwarts Tag which Meagan kindly nominated me for. Make sure to check out her blog if…

I’m very grateful to have been nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award for a forth, and, fifth time. Hence the sub-tile ‘The Pentalogy’, which is used to describe a set of five works (usually writing or literature) that are connected, which seemed fitting for this post. 😊 My fourth nomination was from Kari of Kari Blogs Online and my fifth nomination was from Dear College Introvert. Thank you both so…
