Some background information Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme that was originally created and hosted by Rukky @ Eternity Books starting in August 2019, and was then cohosted with Dani @ Literary Lion from May 2020 to March 2022. Aria @ Book Nook…

Confessions of a Closet-Perfectionist

Perfection is the satin-lined casket of creativity and originality.  ~ Augusten Burroughs To the naked eye, I probably appear to be the furthest thing from a perfectionist. I’m not very tidy or overtly organised. I’m always a bit of a mess and slightly scatterbrained. My bedroom is constantly a miniature natural disaster of my belongings strewn across surfaces and piled together in apparent…

My Favourite Places to Read

My Favourite Places to Read

Ah finally a Top Ten Tuesday prompt where I do not feel pressured to take pictures and spend hours waiting for them to upload (because my internet hates me whenever I need to upload anything).

“I am made for autumn. Summer and I have a fickle relationship, but everything about autumn is perfect to me. Wooly jumpers, Wellington boot, scarves, thin first, then thick, socks. The low slanting light, the crisp mornings, the chill in my fingers, those last warm sunny days before the rain and the wind. Her moody hues and subdued palate punctuated every now and again by a brilliant orange, scarlet or copper goodbye. She is my true love.”

so much talk about how lorelai is immature and selfish and not enough about how she provided a refuge to lane, whose life was oppressed & suppressed by her religion. or the role she played for paris, whose mother was absent, and overbearingly critical when present. or madeline and louise, who i’m sure learned a very important lesson the night of the bangles concert. or that night where she went out of her way to make all the women on rory’s dorm floor comfortable with their surroundings and each other, creating a safe hangout for everyone to get to know each other who might now have had a chance to otherwise. or gigi, who for a period of time was aided by lorelai in her early childhood when her mother disappeared to france.

Currently in the midst of reading Wuthering Heights and I must say it’s a happy struggle. I’m hoping my reading block will cease.
