2025 has been a great reading year! Hoping I can squeeze my two current reads in before the year ends πŸ˜„

November feels like the perfect month to try and start writing regularly again!

I doubt I’ll be able to hit 50k in a month, so I’m setting myself a smaller goal of 20k ✍🏻

A new animal crossing update was not what I was expecting to be announced in 2025, but I’m so here for it

The temptation to take part in Novel November is too real – I need to get back into the habit of writing regularly again

Feels wrong buying books as someone who works in a library, but I can’t resist when technically I’m buying it with birthday money! πŸ“š

Here’s the books I picked up over the past couple of days which I can’t wait to get stuck into πŸ“–

This weekend has been absolutely incredible meeting the best group of people and my favourite actress multiple times over two days. Forever grateful πŸ₯Ή

Nicola Roberts is joining the cast of a Greek mythology show in London and I feel like my worlds are colliding

If anyone’s interested, I’m currently working on a queer romance set in the autumn! πŸ‚ I’ve still yet to decide on a title, but it’s still relatively early days with the actual writing.

My current writing project is slowly coming together and I’m excited to start making more progress with it writing wise πŸ˜„

I’m so bad at posting reading/writing updates on here, but I’m going to try and make an effort to be more active!

the temptation to buy a bunch of kindle books that are only 99p is too real

Also need inspiration so I can actually have a long term writing project to focus on

I know right 😩 I do actually, I’ve lathered myself with it throughout the day and it kinda helped! Touch wood, I’m starting to feel a little better after some rest and a hot water bottle! 🀞🏻❀️

I’m absolutely knackered, but this chest cold will not let me get a wink of actual sleep during the day 😴

Looks like it! This is the worst one I’ve had so far this year, it’s all in my chest atm. Oh that’s awful, glad you’re better now! Thank you πŸ«‚ Got my trusty water bottle with me! ❀️

And I hate it means struggling to sleep (thank god I don’t have work tomorrow)!

Pretty sure my immune system hates me – this is the third cold I’ve caught this year 🀧

Intended to be productive and get some writing (or at least planning) done during my week off work. Somehow I’ve managed to do none of that 🫣
