So, it's July, and this is a long overdue post, but despite being beaten down by exams and creative exhaustion, I finally found myself motivated to dedicate some time to share my favourite books of 2021 with you.

Last year, in the heat of empty summer lockdown days, I unhappily closed the last page of Emma and realised that never again would I be able to read for the first time a full novel by Jane Austen. Her books have accompanied me through many stages of my life, and it is sad to … Continue reading Which Jane Austen Novel is the Best? (in my very subjective opinion)

Here we are, at the end of another month with another wrap up (apologies for missing May).
