As I've been into reading over August, I thought I'd share my to be read pile with you and all the books I'm excited to read this month. Let's get started. None Of This Is True By Lisa Jewell I'm so excited to read this book because I've previously read two of Lisa Jewell's books which were Watching You and Don't Let Him In. Honestly, I loved them both as they had such great twists and turns. Honestly, I couldn't put them down when I was reading them. I got this book as I wanted to read more and I've heard a lot of positive things about this one. It follows the story of a Podcaster who has a subject who wants her story to be told in the podcast. Soon the more the podcast goes deep into the subject life, the darker it becomes. I'm excited because I also have the audiobook. I'm a weirdo who likes to listen to audiobooks while reading. I heard having the audiobook is great because it has the audio track like a podcast during the podcast scen...

We've come to the end of another month, I can't quite believe it's the end of August and the end of Summer. You know what that means, it's time for a list of everything I've been loving this month. This month has a particular theme but it's what I've been loving. Let's get started Hell's Kitchen I decided to watch Hell's Kitchen this month. I was watching series 21 as it was on ITVX and I know the next two seasons were also on there. I forgot I'd watched series 21 as it had been a while but watching it I remembered I had seen it. Even though I've watched it before I still enjoyed watching it and it's just a comfort show, it's an easy watch and who doesn't love hearing Gordon Ramsay swearing left, right and centre. It's therapeutic in a weird way. Definitely something I enjoyed watching this month. Tenable This is a surprising one for me as I don't always watch quiz shows but recently I've been watching this as it...

In August, I did quite a bit of reading. I've been slacking with my reading and fallen behind on my Goodreads reading challenge which is twenty five books. This month I decided to read again as the first book I read made me realise how much I love reading and got me back in the reading game. I just love how a book can transport you to a different world and let you escape real life. I'm not going to lie, I read a lot of good books this month and I thought I'd share them with you now. With Love From The Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa This book is a duology which is at Days At The Morisaki Bookshop and More Days At The Morisaki Bookshop. I picked this book up a while ago when I was browsing Waterstones for a new book and this one caught my eye. It’s such a pretty cover that I had to get it. I’d also heard of this book from somewhere and I thought why not. It follows the life of Takako who finds herself moving into her Uncle Satoru’s bookshop after a heartbreak. It sees ...

I thought I’d share a photo journal of a day in my life but it’s a little bit different as I was travelling to Manchester on this day. Let’s get started: My day starts like any other, just waking up in my bed. The first thing I always do is make myself coffee because I can't function in the mornings without it. I decided to have a shower because I like to freshen up before travelling anywhere.  After I use VO5 Heat Protectant on my hair before drying my hair with my Tresemme hairdryer.  While I’m getting ready I decided to watch one of my favourite movies which is The Intern. To me it’s such a comfort movie and always brings me joy when I watch it. I just love it. I did my makeup after I dried my hair and decided to go wild and go for a blue eyeshadow. Sometimes I love trying different colours for my eyeshadow because we all need a little colour in our lives. I then make sure I have everything in my suitcase and also pack my makeup bag in it. Finally once I’m ready, it’s time ...

The end of another month means it's time for a list of all my favourites of the month. Let's get started. Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith I saw a tiktok the other day where it showed a video of someone doing a page out of Wreck This Journal. I'd heard of it before but never actually thought of getting it. As someone who loves scrapbooking, this journal felt perfect so I spent a Christmas gift voucher and bought it. I've had so much fun so far filling out the different pages. The point is to destroy the journal but I'm a little tame at the moment. I know there's pages like taking the book in the shower or throwing it off a high ledge. Each page is like a different project. The best part is there's no right or wrong way to do the journal. You can interpret the instructions how you like and nobody can judge you. It's definitely therapeutic to do. I'm excited to keep going with this journal. Love, Rosie I watched Love, Rosie this month and I forgot how ...

Finally, we reach the end of January which means it's time for monthly favourites. I feel like January has gone on forever that I haven't had many favourites for this month but I wanted to share the few favourites I did have this month. Let's get started.  Better Man I saw this movie last Friday and I didn't realise how emotional it would make me. It's a biographical film of Robbie Williams. Except it has a difference. He is portrayed in a monkey form which is definitely a unique way of telling a biographical story. Yet it made a lot of sense because as Robbie Williams said himself, he doesn't feel fully evolved. This story was definitely an emotional one because it shows the rawness of his mental health and issues he's had over the years with substances. It's heartbreaking at times and I found myself crying a lot because there was a lot I could relate to in this story. It's little details because I have gone through a lot of fights with myself menta...

Well, here we are. The last post of 2024. I can't quite believe we're at the end of the year. It just flew by this year and I feel like so much has happened this year. As is an end of the month tradition on this blog, here are all the things I've been loving this month. Let's get started. Blood Brothers I watched this musical in the Palace Theatre in Manchester at the end of last month and I honestly fell in love with it. I downloaded the album and I've been listening to it on repeat. It's such a unique story, how two brothers are separated at birth and go on to live two separate lives in different social classes but yet they don't let that stop their friendship. It has the innocence of childhood to growing into your teenage years to facing the reality of adulthood. It's such a sweet but also heartbreaking story. I even went and bought the book to read so I can relive the story again as well as watching clips on YouTube. I'm so fascinated by it that ...
