Hello!
I know this is a really strange time for all of us staying home and trying to stay sane but reading has been a big help for me and I'm sure it is helping a lot of you too! Today's post is a selection of books and series that may be worth digging into to escape from reality for a little while whether they are a new read or a re-read for you.
1. Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling
Now is the perfect time to re-read or jump in as a first timer into the 7 book long series of the incredible story of Harry Potter! I first read these books years ago when I was a lot younger and I am really tempted to re-immerse myself in this brilliant story of magic. If you don't want to commit to 7 books you could always watch the films!
Hello!
It has been a while since I last posted and so I just wanted to provide a quick catch up! Even with all the craziness in the world right now I work from home so not that much has actually changed for me although I can't leave the house. Working from home means I stare at my laptop all day and it is making me lose motivation to update my blog which is why I haven't posted a lot recently :(.

Hello!
I know this post is super late but better late than never right? January was a good reading month for me, I managed to read 6 books which is a tenth of my reading goal completed already! I also had THREE 5* reads to start off my year. Here's what I read:
Book Title: The Yellow Wallpaper
Author: Charlotte Perkins Gilman
My Rating: 4*
Publisher: Dover Publications
Publication Date: first published 1892
Genre(s): Classic, Short Stories, Feminism
Pages: 288
Format Read: E-book
Goodreads: Written from a feminist perspective, often focusing on the inferior status accorded to women by society, the tales include "turned," an ironic story with a startling twist, in which a husband seduces and impregnates a naïve servant; "Cottagette," concerning the romance of a young artist and a man who's apparently too good to be true; "Mr. Peebles' Heart," a liberating tale of a fiftyish shopkeeper whose sister-in-law, a doctor, persuades him to take a solo trip to Europe, with revivifying results; "The Yellow Wallpaper"; and three other outstanding stories.
These charming tales are not only highly readable and full of humour and invention, but also offer ample food for thought about the social, economic, and personal relationship of men and women — and how they might be improved.
