To dream cleanses the mind, to write purges the soul and to read fills the heart. Nothing could be better.

Another Disney post! Don't you just love it?
Every film needs an antagonist, that dark cloud to oppose the hero and make things difficult on the journey for love and glory. So, here is the pic to celebrate Disney's villains...
My love of Jane Austen has risen to new heights with this collection of modernised teenage adaptations of the beloved novels by author Rosie Rushton. From Whatever Love Is (Mansfield Park) to firm favourites Summer of Secrets (Northanger Abbey) and Love, Lies and Lizzie (Pride and Prejudice), Rushton has definitely set the bar on how to write a romantic comedy with depth, passion and hormonal drama! So, If I was talking about Austen, I'd start with publishing order. However, as these are adaptations, I'm going to start with my lowest rated. This review contains spoilers. *** Secret Schemes and Daring Dreams *** An adaptation of Emma, this charming novel brings to the fore all the sentimentality and sarcastic dry wit that the original did. Like the original, Emma Woodhouse is a young, caring woman who is well aware of her luck, good fortune and status - and also well determined to ensure she passes that wealth on by pairing her friends.

It’s true, Christmas is around the corner, only a few days away! I’m sure those of you who celebrate the occasion have been busy wrapping and bagging those well-thought out gifts and demonstrations of devotion! Even when the tape refuses to get in line and the bows refuse to stick! Christmas is a time for fun and family, at least it is for me be mine... Christmas is also a time to take stock of our lives and the pleasures within it. Take a look at what we’ve done over the year, and see how we might improve upon anything in the next.

It’s a period where we can celebrate our lives, our hobbies and our homes; a time where we can take a break from work and decompress. To that end, I have a present for you all! During the Christmas period, my books will be available for free to download. Wishing you all a happy Christmas, a carefree winter break and a fortune filled 2019! Terri x
That's right folks, tomorrow is World Book Day, the international celebration of all things bookish and brilliant! I love a good book and will be the first one to admit I've faked illness on a night time (like a hundred times) just so I can stay at home and finish that oh-so-thrilling novel on my bedside table. You may be a fellow bibliophile - that's a person who loves books, my friends, it's nothing sordid - or you may prefer a movie. If you're the kind of person to enjoy the film adaptation over the book, that's up to you. I stand my 'the book is always better' - and for every other day of the year, I'd honestly let every film lover stand by their opinion too. But not World Book Day. Tomorrow, I urge everyone to pick up their old forgotten favourites, their brand new buys and even their no chance in hell books and start reading! Tomorrow is the day when everyone should try something different with their reading habits, whether it be a change in g
