After several hours of filming and editing, my bookshelf tour is now up on my channel. I have all different kinds of genres to suit all different tastes - including children's books, young adult, fantasy, literary fiction, classics & translations.

This weekend I’ll be reading The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. Feel free to check out my latest #BookTube video to find out more:

"Puerto de Mogán is a picturesque resort and fishing village on the southwest coast of the island of Gran Canaria. The canals and bridges of its seawater inlet have earned it the nickname "Little Venice." Along the marina, you'll find an assortment of restaurants and bars, while the old town area is full of quaint, Mediterranean homes and cottages climbing up the hillside. Puerto de Mogán is a major stop for ocean yachts travelling from the Atlantic to the Caribbean."

As a Modern Languages student at Durham University, I have to spend a year abroad in Spain. So, in September 2017 I moved to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the biggest city in the Canary Islands, just off the northwest coast of Africa. I'm working as a British Council English Language Assistant in a secondary school. Teaching English is such a rewarding experience, and to make it even better I'm living in a beautiful city! In this series of videos 'Postcards from Las Palmas' I'll be showing some of my favourite places to explore.

“The beauty, still more beauteous! Nor, that time, When nature had subdued him to herself, Would he forget those Beings to whose minds, Warm from the labours of benevolence, The world, and human life, appeared a scene Of kindred loveliness: then he would sigh, Inly disturbed, to think that others felt What he must never feel..” -William Wordsworth // Edale, Derbyshire | GarettPhotography

Fairbrook, Kinder, Peak District, Derbyshire, England

by Chris Hall

The Peak District is beautiful 😍

[tomesandtravel]

“The area is known and loved by many for its breath-taking views, bustling market towns and pretty villages, historic houses, famous attractions and hundreds of traditional events.

From the high, moorland plateaus in the north, to the steep-sided, deep dales and rolling green hills in the south of the area, the Peak District & Derbyshire has just about any landscape you can imagine in Britain, making it one of the finest areas in the country to go walking.”

“When hitherward we journeyed, side by side, Through burst of sunshine and through flying showers, Paced the long vales, how long they were, and yet How fast that length of way was left behind..” -William Wordsworth // Skipton, North Yorkshire | GarettPhotography

“To sit upon a hill, as I do now,

To carve out dials quaintly, point by point,

Thereby to see the minutes how they run:

How many make the hour full complete..” -William Shakespeare | GarettPhotography
