Just a Rant About Life | Discussion

Just a Rant About Life | Discussion

It feels like everything I write about blogging is negative, but I guess that’s just my mental health for you 😂. I’ve always wanted to work in the creative industry, whether it be writing for different magazines, writing my own book, or working in the publishing industry. Working for a publisher is my dream job, and about five years ago, I thought that creating a book blog would be a good start in trying to get my foot in the door.

And that’s when the stress started…🙃

YouTubers I’ve Been Loving Lately!

YouTubers I’ve Been Loving Lately!

Since the U.K. is in lockdown #3, there really isn’t anything to do. That’s probably why I’ve already read 13 books in January. On top of reading absolute loads, I’ve also been watching a lot of TV/Films, and YOUTUBE! I don’t actually watch a lot of booktube channels, I prefer reading book blogs, however, January was the month where I kinda got back into watching a few booktube channels, but I’ve also been loving a lot of different channels as well such as makeup/lifestyle things!

Anyway, these are 10 YouTubers that I’ve been really enjoying lately! …

My 2021 Reading Goals

My 2021 Reading Goals

2021… Mom always tells me not to wish my life away, but when it comes to this year, I want it to be over. It’s not just the pandemic that has made this year miserable, and I know that the whole situation is going to be over as soon as Big Ben chimes saying it’s 1st January. But, I just want this year done. It’s not been great.

It hasn’t been good when it comes to reading or blogging either. I never really try to set myself personal or book goals when it comes to the new year, because I know myself, and I know full-well that I won’t stick to them.

But I’ve decided to switch things up this year and set myself some goals. So, here they are! …

12 GOOD Things That Happened in 2020 | Discussion

12 GOOD Things That Happened in 2020 | Discussion

I know that I’ve spoken a lot about how awful 2020 was, but I want to take a moment to try and remember some of the good things that happened this year. There hasn’t been that many, but I’m sure I can think of some. I had originally planned to do 20 things, but when I started writing the post, I genuinely couldn’t think of 20 things… So, you get 12 instead! 😂

Most of these are positive personal things that have happened to me this year, others have been good things that have happened in general. So, without any further ago, let’s get into the list! …

Lockdown Ruined My Reading Habits | Discussion

Lockdown Ruined My Reading Habits | Discussion

I know that everyone is talking about how rubbish 2020 was/is, and I wholeheartedly agree with them. But one of the things that I wanted to concentrate on today was how lockdown actually ruined my reading.

At the beginning of the year, I set my Goodreads goal as 50 books, which I thought was reasonable. It was 1 book a week (ish), and that seemed like a goal that I could achieve quite easily.

WELL… that just wasn’t the case, was it?

Music That I’ve Been Loving Lately

Music That I’ve Been Loving Lately

I hardly ever post about music, even though it’s a massive part of my daily life. There was a while where I would take part in the weekly tag: Music Mondays, but apart from that, I haven’t posted anything.

I’m one of those people who will pretty much listen to anything. If you put my playlist on shuffle, there would be pop one moment, heavy metal the next, RnB, Hip-Hop, or punk the next. As long as the lyrics are good, or the beat is catchy, I’m here for it.

So, here are the artists that I’ve been loving this year, and some of my favourite songs! …

Ways to Help the Terror of 2020 | Discussion

Ways to Help the Terror of 2020 | Discussion

Everyone knows that 2020 is a write-off year. Things just couldn’t have gone more wrong with the world, and with the deadly typhoons in the Philippines, this year shows no sign of slowing down and making things easy for us.

Rewind to 1st January 2020. We had just sounded the new year in with friends, family, and fireworks. Everything was going good: I was working a couple days a week alongside studying for my Masters in creative writing, and life was good.

But I guess it was never meant to last. Not even for a couple of days…

Blogging Self-Doubt | Discussion

Blogging Self-Doubt | Discussion

This blog post will probably make zero sense… Or it might make perfect sense. I don’t know. However, this post simply follows my train of thought of when I was writing about how I felt about blogging, and how I felt about my own personal blog. It was kind of hard to write because I was worried about how it would be viewed, and I was constantly thinking that no one would understand, blah blah blah. But you know what? I wrote it anyway. So, here we go… …
