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

One more day to go and then I'm off to Disneyland with the besties!!! I'm really looking forward to it- I haven't been to Disney since I was eight. I can still remember quite a few of the rides...
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. When her best friend George Knightley, nee...
Here is a little taste of WITCH DARK, my work in progress... Not even the full moon or the scattered stars could pierce the blackness of the dense woodland and the heavy mists that settled in around it. The darkness was overwhelming. Even the animal s, accustomed to nature’s changing moods, seemed to fear the very source of these shadows. And it was quiet; it was all too quiet... Twigs snapped somewhere off into the distance, the echoes growing louder and louder with each passing second. Animals, already unnerved, cowered, hiding in their dens. A young man, hooded and cloaked, emerged from the undergrowth and stopped to look at his surroundings. He was displeased. This was not the path he should have been taking and he was late; it was nearing midnight. A frustrated breath passed his lips and he gazed up at the sky, searching for the moon. Even if he couldn’t see it, he knew it was full. It was time. Ignoring the leaves and dirt that had covered his...
Hi guys, tomorrow I will be posting my review of the Austen adaptations! In the mean time, take a look at these pictures and the art of space... I am all for accidental art, so anything to do with reading is fantastic! The use of the book and the glasses together, the negative spacing... It's perfect, and so pretty! Again, another example, this time with a ring. These were taken with iPhones if you can believe it (these images are available on Pinterest and are accompanied by articles in photography). This is probably my favourite. Books to make you think. :) As all books should. xxx
