Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of discovering a few new artists (through research for work) and wanted to share the love! I’ve also got my algorithm set up for top tier song recs 🙂‍↕️

Calling a top 15 in October is BOLD. If anything else comes in we’re going to call this a top 20 and nobody say anything… (Note: Affiliate links 🔗 throughout)

There’s 25% off preorders in Waterstones until the end of day. But regardless these are some 2026 books I am keeping an eye on! (Note: Affiliate links throughout 🔗 )

Done it for all the places I’ve visited but not the one I spend the most time in! So here are some bookstores & food places I love in London ☕️

Spent 4 wonderful days in Paris, these were some of my highlights and where I want to go next time!

I love to save things in my tabs that I won’t buy. These are some of them 😗 Some could be great Christmas gifts? But maybe just for me idk…

A good short story collection will change your life…these are some of my favourites! (I am perpetually on a hunt for the best short story collections so trust me I’ll be back 👀)

Starting a series it seems… Where I went and ate on a sunny, solo long weekend in Amsterdam.

January was a nightmare, Feb has been sweeter, these things got me through ❣️

Reads, screens and everything inbetween! What I loved this year 🩵

Predominantly booktokers and a couple lifestyle creators too. 2025 is for long form!

Tis the season…to share things I really want in the hopes that they'll make great gifts for someone else 😌 (Contains some affiliate links)

Just like that we've reached November. I love bookish themed months, I hardly ever read the books during the months but Ive collated some Nonfiction that I've loved and that are on my TBR for this month! (Contains some affiliate links)

Through trial and error I've come to a little list of reminders for myself, when I go solo travelling, that might just help you too! (Contains some affiliate links)

Loved seeing everyone sharing their five favourites, so thought it was time I did my own…(May contain affiliate links)

Music that feels like it was made to be listened to in the cooler months. (Disclaimer: I work in music but thoughts are all my own - I just love a good belting album 😌)

A couple of gems I found by chance and want to make sure everyone else hears about! (May contain some affiliate links)

From the page to the big(ish) screen 🍿 Some of my favourite book to screen adaptations (and a couple others!)

If you want to get ahead of gifting season…or if you need a lil treat! For cinephiles, F1 fanatics and the bookish. (Contains some affiliate links)

A celebration of Contemporary Black British Authors for Black History Month.(Contains some affiliate links)

Where I ate and perused in Barcelona…(seems to be mainly food)

I loved these books, I have probably mentioned them 100 times already but here's to 100 more.(Contains some affiliate links)

If you loved the chaotic, female rage, beauty satire of The Substance read these books.

Where to eat and what to see in the Big Smoke! (Mainly Vegan and F1 fan friendly).(Contains some affiliate links)

For people looking to celebrate Female rage, apathy, oddities, desire, anger…

Basically, I am a massive scaredy cat so if I survived these you MIGHT too… *Horror & Thriller
