How I Read 100 Books in 2022!
Last year, I read 100 books! This was in the middle of a crazy year where so much was happening and there were times I felt as though I didn't read much at all. As it's the start of a new year, many people set a New Years resolution to 'read more books', so it's a...
StoryStorm 2023
I'm not big on New Years resolutions, however one thing I do want to do more of in 2023 is writing. I have been doing writing in Virtual Writers Groups in 2022, but not much of my own writing with a view to get more books published, and this is something I really want...
What I’ve Read – December 2022

What I’ve Read – November 2022
It's the start of December, only one month left for the year! It's been a great month for reading. The first book I finished was Lola in the Middle by Cecily Anne Patterson. This was part of the Forevability awards and one that I'd been looking forward to. It didn't...
St Mary’s School Fete
Yesterday, I did my first market in about four years! I had started looking to see what markets were happening & I stumbled across the St Mary's School Fete. It was about 20 minutes from home and outdoors. In the past, I found that school fete's were a great place...
