Botany Manor: An Unexpected Gem
One of my favourite things about the Xbox Game Pass is discovering new games that I might not otherwise try. There have been several titles in the past that I have enjoyed thanks because of it. This time around, I gave Botany Manor a go and I could not have loved it more. From the…

Cyberpunk 2077: A Game Redeemed
I have played Cyberpunk 2077 more than I am willing to admit. It’s a game where different choices lead to different outcomes, encouraging replay-ability, everytime you think you are done you find something new and find yourself lost in the game all over again. Some are even calling it ‘the best game ever’. It’s just…

April Reading Round-Up
From cannibalistic psychopaths to 19th century French fiction to Norse mythology, April was a strange month. I reached the conclusion that surprisingly (at least to me) I find 19th century Russian fiction more entertaining and easier to read than 19th century French fiction. But I think that’s another post entirely! So here’s what I read…

March Reading Round-Up
This month I did something I try and avoid at all costs, and I did it not once but twice. I read a book after watching the film adaptation. Granted I had watched Ready Player One years ago and couldn’t really remember it but it still counts. I also watched Poor Things then immediately bought…

The Disappointment of Dexter: New Blood
Spoiler Warning: I will be talking about the end of the original Dexter Series and in-depth about what happens in Dexter: New Blood so if you’re planning on watching either series, maybe don’t read on! When Dexter: New Blood was first announced, I was excited. Was this finally the redemption the series deserved? Was the…

(My) Five Favourite Fictional Females
This is a post I’ve been wanting to write for a while and with today being International Women’s Day, there’s not really a better time. Now obviously, I basically forgot about every single female character I’ve ever read when deciding who should make my list so I’ve probably forgotten someone I definitely should have included.…

February Reading Round-Up
February was an interesting month book wise. I came to the conclusion that I need to stop reading a book if I’m not enjoying it, there are so many other books I could be reading instead. This won’t happen though, I’ll carry on regardless because I’m the kind of person who has to finish what…

January Reading Round-Up
New year, new reading goal. This year I decided to up my goal to 52 books. I’ll probably surpass it (as you’ll see I read 9 books this month) but I read for enjoyment, not to fill a made-up quota. I do quite seeing the number go up throughout the year though! To start off…

December Reading Round-Up
The end of the year sees the end of the Goodreads 2023 Reading Challenge (surprising I know). Bearing in mind I’ve never counted the books I read before, I set a target of 40 books. Unsurprisingly, I surpassed that and tallied a grand total of 74 books. Not too shabby y’know. Humble brag over, here’s…

November Reading-Round Up
This month I discovered a new favourite author, Daphne Du Maurier. I’ve had a few of her books sitting on my shelf for ages and honestly? I’m pretty mad it took me so long to read them. I’m also mad because I came to the realisation that realistically, I’m never going to read every single…
