i think i’m in a reading slump
so 2020 ain't starting in the greatest way, folks. I THINK I'M IN A READING SLUMP?! I AM ACTUALLY SO MAD AT MYSELF. I was on such a roll too - 2019 was the greatest freaking reading year ever, I think I can say with certainty. But I'm starting 2020 feeling so meh about every [...]
WEEKLY CHECK IN: I lost my momentum y’all and I talk about uni.
EDITING ALLIE HERE: So, I wrote this a few weeks ago, but I still wanted to post it because I kind of talk about uni stuff, mental health and all that jazz. ALSO, I know I’ve been super inactive on twitter and instagram as well as here - I had a major presentation for my [...]
I don’t really know what this is…
I just felt like writing, so here I am. So, does anyone else feel like this year has kind of been a shitstorm? A hellscape? Because 2019, so far, has this hazy type of feel to it - as though I have been going about my days with a gauze wrapped around my eyes. An [...]

What does your bookshelf say about you?
G'day friends! Today, I kind of want to do a slightly different post. I was reading Tim Parks' novel, Where Am I Reading From? for my thesis and I came across this little section where he talks about how he's childhood bookshelf kind of prophesised where his interests would and/or wouldn't lie in the future.

but don’t resign yourself to a nothing-life.
this poem is slightly cringe-worthy and i'm embarrassed to post it, only because I've been suffering severe writer's block where my poetry is concerned. if it lacks a bit of something, if the wording is off, know that this is raw and unedited. i wanted to showcase the difficulty of finding the write words to [...]
Mental Health and Book blogging: Finding the balance?
Well , g'day there friends. I've been tossing up whether or not to write this, only because I feel like I keep on bringing this up and it can get repetitive and annoying. But here we are! A few weeks ago I took a mini-hiatus from twitter and from my blog (the only posts that [...]
