i’ve seen twilght twice now (both times with friends who vehemently despised it and proceeded to trash it all over town) and, honestly, i did not think it was overly terrible. yes, there were some things that could have been done better, but there always are. this movie could never have been made in such a way [...]

The central thesis for this post might not make much sense (though that will be entirely consistent), but I will try to explain it: the books I read over and over again are not my favourites. My favourite books are the ones that sit on my shelves, for years, gathering dust. And I’m happy to have [...]

Sorry if I’m writing a lot of dross lately, but my mind is freaking tired and all I can seem to do is make lists. So, without further ado (and after that FABULOUS intoduction), a whole bunch of people who totally belong together!
The top spot is a three-way-tie between:

Sometimes, in the middle of a really intense read, I need a dose of light and fluffly romance. Here is a selection of books, tv shows, movies and music that, in my experience, are guaranteed to give you that tingly feeling in your stomach!
Love Actually! – The ultimate romantic comedy – this list would not be [...]

So, my avid readers, I’m sure you’re all wondering which books I am concerning myself with these summer holidays.
