Pilates, peanut butter porridge + Peter Hedges’ What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (recommended by the legend that is @markuszusak) makes for the perfect start to my Wednesday. ⠀

Happy hump day peeps 💞

I was tagged in a #meetthebookstagrammer a while ago and never got around to doing it, so seeing as I’ve got a lot more free time on my hands right now, I thought I’d hop on it this evening before I lose myself in a Netflix binge.⠀
⠀
Favourite book: A Little Life by @hanyayanagihara . I absolutely adore it and have a tattoo from the book on the crook of my elbow 💞⠀
Last book I read: I just finished Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto after seeing @poornabell recommend it in Stylist Magazine. A really gorgeous, quick + uplifting read.⠀
Next on my TBR pile: Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee (I’m currently trying to work my way through The 1001 Books to Read Before You Die 🤦🏼‍♀️ pray for me 😂🙏🏼)⠀
Least favourite book: Ugh, Ulysses, but I also hated Catch 22, Brave New World (sorry @whatshotblog 😂) and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy⠀
Favourite author: I have a few - Daphne Du Maurier, @katemossewriter, Joanne Harris, Rosamunde Pilcher and @janegreenauthor 💞⠀
Favourite things to do when I’m not reading: Coastal walk, write, hang out with dogs, hang out @gertrudeandalice, spend time with my family back in the UK, drink Prosecco with friends 🥂⠀
Favourite city: Sydney; London + Paris are close joint seconds, but my favourite place in the world in Byron Bay 🌊 ⠀
Next place on my bucketlist: Corona-chaos aside, I was supposed to go to New Hampshire in July for a memoir writing retreat 🤦🏼‍♀️ and the east coast of the US has been on my travel wish-list for a while now 🇺🇸 ⠀
Favourite food: Avocados, peanut butter, pesto ⠀
Tipple of choice: Prosecco, iced coffee, orange juice 🍊😂

Happy Sunday friends! Anyone else spending umpteen hours a day in bed during self-isolation? I went through a bit of a reading slump at the beginning of the week, but managed to rectify it by reading The Hungover Games by @heawood (which is utterly, utterly brilliant) followed by The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (which I also loved), and today I’m starting The Lonely City by @olivialanguage. Has your reading been affected by lockdown? Are you reading more or less than normal? Let me know if you’ve got any good book recommendations for the week ahead 🙏🏼 📷 taken during my stay at @no38thepark back when we were all allowed to travel 😭

Seems like a lifetime ago that browsing bookshops

Seems like a lifetime ago that browsing bookshops to uncover a hidden literary gem was an actual thing, so I’m throwing it back to a long weekend in Byron when my biggest concern was finding a book whose cover matched the scenery 🌊✌🏼⠀

What are you most looking forward to doing when the corona-chaos has died down?
