Following on from my book haul part one we spent a short amount of time in Dublin. It was almost coming round full circle. We were gifted a night at The Gresham Hotel as an engagement gift, so it seemed right for us to go back for just after our wedding. Anyway, onto the books….
Overall I thought Half Bad was a great beginning to the series. The characters were interesting and the story seemed to have a strong arc going for it. I loved learning about the world and the way the politics worked within the world. It becomes really obvious the flaws in the system and it was interesting…
We got married, in fact we have been married for almost a week, which is a crazy thought. There will be a blog post all about our big day but I’m waiting on a few photos and videos from different people. But before that there is a book haul from Ireland. Right now we’re relaxing…
Golden Son is the sequel to one of my favourite reads this year. This review will contain spoilers for the first book, so if you haven’t read it, skip this and go and read my review for the first book here. Overall Not as good as the first one. There was little clarity and the…

What is it? A Bullet Journal is a system of lists. Using different symbols, you create lists of your life and categorise your life through the various symbols. It’s a simple system that works in any notebook and at any time of year. Why I use it? I needed a system that didn’t wouldn’t cause…
