That’s right, folks! I have changed background for (I think) the first time since 2013! Okay, so it might not be thaaat different. I went with pretty much the same concept because I still really like it, but I thought it was time to update it a bit. In these past three years I’ve read a … Continue reading
Hello again :) Since I’m in a tag mood right now, I’m going to go ahead and do another one. :) This was created by A Clockwork Reader, and as soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to do it myself. Avatar is fantastic and if you haven’t tried watching it yet, it’s … Continue reading
By now, I don’t think anyone could have missed the whole spectacle that is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. If you, against all odds, actually have been able to miss it up until now, I sincerely applaud you and your exceptional out-of-this-world skills of avoidance. While I do think the whole thing is quite … Continue reading

I don’t quite know why or what brought it on, but for a couple of weeks now, I’ve been in this really…well, I guess you could call it creative mood. I’ve also recently discovered the joys of mug painting (of all things), and as a result, I have a couple of bookish creations I thought I’d … Continue reading
When I was younger, I remember telling my mother that I was worried about growing up before I’d had the chance to read all the children’s books in the library. What little Beatrice didn’t know, was that when it comes to books, there are absolutely no rules. Nada. You can read middle grade until you … Continue reading
So…this is my first book haul since christmas, but hey, guess what! That means I have a lot of books to show you. ;) *Rubs hands in anticipation* First of all, of course, I had to get Stars Above, the Lunar Chronicles collection of short stories, by Marissa Meyer.

Weirdly enough, I didn’t wish for any particular books this christmas. I think I pretty much forgot all about this fine holiday of presents and candy until the 24th when, suddenly, I found myself surrounded by family and wrapping paper (in fact, I’m still not sure christmas 2015 is a thing that actually happened…). However, … Continue reading

Time for another drawing, this time Alan Rickman as Severus Snape. :) It was a bit uncomfortable staring into those judging, disapproving eyes for hours on end, but other than that he was a lot of fun. ;) I hope you like it. :)
Three months since my last haul, and four new and shiny books to show. :) Stand-Off by Andrew Smith. I got this little darling sometime at the beginning of September, I believe, and of course read it straight away (oh how I’ve been waiting!). In my opinion this one isn’t as good as Winger, but though I was disappointed … Continue reading
