Reckless Indulgence | of the Written Word

Full of bookish things such as book reviews, literary favourites, favourite quotes, beautiful libraries & reading spaces, books I'd like to read, library finds, and more! (Also with a splash of music here and there, since I can't live without my daily tunes~)

Anyway, I’m featuring the wonderful and eccentric AURORA today! She’s… literally, like if Björk and Luna Lovegood had a child together. xD I’m not kidding. Just watch this interview with NMEif you don’t believe me:

I hate hiatuses… 8D

Hi peeps. How are you doing? Is life treating you well? Do you want to cry? Do you want to laugh? Do you want to scream?

(Honestly, do you. I’m not judging. I’m pretty much at my wits end too, so yeah. I’m HERE WITH YOU IN SPIRIT 🖤 🖤 🖤 )

So, really short and uninspired post, but basically it’s to let you guys know I’m going to try posting SOMETHING today. Maybe in a couple hours.

Hey Guys! I’m Sorta-ish Back!! (Extended Hiatus + Slightly Personal Post)

Hullo my lovelies~ I am returned!

I’ll get straight to the point though. You probably won’t see any posts from me for a little while because of just SO MUCH going on in my life right now.

National Poetry Day occurs annually in the U.K. and Ireland on a Thursday in late September or early October. This year’s events are set for October 3 and focus on the theme of change. Admittedly, poetry is different things to…

As many of you may know, NYCC (New York Comic Con) is just around the corner, and I’m basically spending this week getting ready to head out on my yearly adventure. 🤩 With that being said, I’m not gonna be able to post much until after NYCC is over (so, I’m looking at maybe next Monday-ish? or unless I actually have a free moment to myself over this exciting weekend),

Welcome back to another episode of Reckless Beats!

Today we have a Coldplay song… The Scientist! A song close and dear to me for… so many ridiculous reasons, it’s almost too upsetting to say.
