It's been a ridiculously crazy few months. Finished my Masters, moved 100 miles and started a new job. So glad to get stuck into a book again!

I have only just discovered that my library has libby. So am currently reliving my childhood with an audiobook. Goodbye work productivity.

Halfway through my mini eggs with a book and a lump of a dog next to me. It's the perfect evening

Feel like I've had a month's worth of manic Mondays.

1: probably fantasy/any book I read as a kid.
2: File clerk
3: Student
4: Archivist
5. Definitely has to be tea. I save my coffee for the mid-morning pick-me-up!

Light, frothy and made the perfect read before starting the madness of my second semester. I love old wives' tales so the chapters on herbs and superstitions were fascinating!

I'm currently stuck travelling, luckily this should relieve the bordem of it for 2 minutes.

1. I've never had Cheetos. I'm British so it's Wotsits all the way!
2. Haha, I still need to finish my first book of 2018 before thinking about the best one.
3. Uni work 🙁
4. Speaking every language would be amazing, and so helpful!
5. BA in History and halfway through a masters in archives and records management.

Velvetfur Never had Cheetos?! Find them in an import shop, they're yummy and very cheesy! Kinda like Nik Naks, same texture, although I too love Wotsits 😀👍 6y
hel-the-gell @Velvetfur I've clearly had sheltered life. I'll have to seek them out 😊 6y
Velvetfur @hel-the-gell Hehe! Or....you've had more important things to do in your life than spend 39p on a tiny bag of crisps just because they're imported, lol! 6y

This was the perfect book to read whilst digesting all the Christmas and New Year food. An autobiography with a self-help twist Sarah Millican offers her views on education, careers and relationships. Her chapters on friendship and family were particularly lovely!

First time I've done one of these! Here's my #newyearwouldyourather

1) Maintain the status quo. - resolutions only ever end up in disappointment for me.
2) Not participate in any challenges.
3) Read only blacklist books.
4) Start TBR from scratch.
5) Win 25 books- I wouldn't have to deal with the agony of choosing which books then!

@swishandflick

swishandflick Great point about not having to choose 😄 thanks for joining in! 🥂 6y

Part of my #tbr pile for 2018. Seems doable, but no doubt it'll grow!

Assignments have been submitted and Christmas pressies bought. Now I get to hunker down with what probably is the prettiest book I own! #nonfiction #history
