Hello friends! Happy new year, and of course, blwyddyn newydd dda! I feel like I say it every year, but I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone. It feels like I was just drafting my post in January 2024, and now here we are. But before we jump into what I’d like to … Continue reading Blwyddyn newydd dda!
I'm a little early this year, but as I've got plans for upcoming blog posts that are a little time-sensitive, I decided I might as well dive into this now. At the beginning of the year, I set myself some very loose 'goals', based on the ones I've had for the past few years. Nothing … Continue reading Tracking progress
I honestly can't remember if this is the third or fourth time I've done this here, but if you're a regular reader of this blog, you'll know that April is book review month; a chance for me to pick the five favourite books I've read (or re-read) since last April. As always, the pool to … Continue reading Book Reviews 2024: Highlight Reel
You know, it feels like it’s been a really long time since I’ve spoken to you all like this - it’s always the way, from about July onwards it feels like the year is a race towards the finishing line, and then January seems to stretch out into eternity. But here we are! We made … Continue reading The joy of reading: Welsh edition
Well! I’ve written and rewritten this opening paragraph about six times now, the vibe was off every single time - usually in these posts, I check my progress against the goals I set myself this time last year. I say ‘goals’, but they’re more sort of general guidelines; I don’t like to be too strict … Continue reading An uncharacteristically positive start
Bore da, ffrindiau! Mis yma roeddwn i eisiau ysgrifennu rhywbeth yn Gymraeg, ond doeddwn i ddim yn gwybod… beth. Felly meddyliais, efallai byddai rhywfath o ddiweddariad yn syniad da. Dw i ddim yn gwybod, os mae unrhyw un o hyn gwneud synnwyr, ond bydd hi’n ddiddorol gweld sut dw i'n gwella dros amser, gan ddefnyddio … Continue reading Diweddariad byr
Last year, I decided to start a tradition. To link in with my goal of reading more of the books that I inevitably buy, I decided that every April I would pick five of the books that I’ve read over the past twelve months and write a sort of review post, with some recommendations, and … Continue reading Book reviews: continuing the tradition
Listen. I’m still processing 2017, and I think it’s deeply unfair of you to make me embark upon yet another year I’m not ready for with so little warning. I hear what some of you are screaming at your screens, it allegedly happens like this every twelve months. To those vocal few I say this: … Continue reading New year, same old me
You know, I was looking back on my blog over the past year, and I noticed something. Last April, I posted a selection of short book reviews, with some of my favourites from the previous year. I realised that this might be something I'd like to continue - a sort of tradition - so, here … Continue reading Starting a tradition
So, one of my interests that I don’t talk about nearly often enough is reading. And that’s probably because I don’t do it nearly often enough. It’s hard to believe now that just over a decade ago (a truly terrifying thought in and of itself), I graduated with a BA in English Literature. I used … Continue reading Re-learning to love literature
