Today, I'm coming to you with a slightly different post, but one that matters all the same. I've put it within my 'Mental Health' series because, for me, this is where this discussion belongs.

words are messy.love is messier. G'day friends! Today is a glorious day in Melbourne, still kind of cold but the sun is shining and the skies are blue with beautiful fluffy clouds. I think it is a fabulous Melbourne day for the review that I'm about to write! What better way to talk about a [...]
Weekly Check-In I'm at that stage in the year when literally everything on my TBR is not satisfying my bookish cravings. Does anyone else get like that? Like, you just stare at your mountain of books and think, meh I don't want to read anything. That's the point I am at currently. I was doing [...]
