Well that was a FUN start to 2012! Having had a bit of a, shall we say, odd week, which involved, amongst other things drawing pictures of buses making love and googling 'Robbie Williams eats hamsters in and around Stoke' FOR WORK, one thing I really didn't need was to feel shit about my Kindle. … Continue reading I freaking love you, Tina Fey

BookElf Reads 2011
In the tradition of the last two years... Not published this year, just read this year, savvy? Discovery of the Year Ayn Rand/Mary Gaitskill (The Fountainhead/Two Girls, Fat and Thin) What may initially appear to be an odd choice, seeing as this is also the year I've discovered so many amazing books that haven't made … Continue reading BookElf Reads 2011
A Discovery of Nonsense (sorry, Witches, sorry)
****SPOILERS, SO MANY SPOILERS. AND SWEARS. LOADS AND LOADS OF SWEARS*** What an utterly ridiculous book this is. Firstly, a background as to why I read a paranormal romance book during the week before Christmas; the cover. We bought it for work because I'd seen it *everywhere*, the cover looked really pretty, and I just … Continue reading A Discovery of Nonsense (sorry, Witches, sorry)
The Light Bulb Moment Review
The Light Bulb Moment is a collection of pieces from various women and men, edited by Sian Norris, loosely based on the question 'what was the lightbulb moment when you became a feminist?'. Like many of the contributors, my answer to this would probably be "I've always been". This doesn't stop this being a fascinating … Continue reading The Light Bulb Moment Review

The Lightbulb Moment-bit of a plug…
As many of you will know, I am a feminist. Not everyone is, and that's their choice, but I am very proud of my belief in equality for all regardless of gender and love hearing from others who also feel the same way. That's why I'm really chuffed to announce a new book, edited by … Continue reading The Lightbulb Moment-bit of a plug…

Dear Santa….
Dear Santa, I've not been a particularly good girl this year. I've smoked and drank too much, and done naughty things. I know that as a Naughty Girl, I should be receiving nothing more than a lump of coal, but I also know that probably won't be the case and I will, in fact, be … Continue reading Dear Santa….
A Level Poetry 1… UTTER FILTH
So we'd made it. Finally we'd made it to Sixth Form. What a revelation. Not only could we wear our own clothes (which quickly esatblished itself into a uniform of black jumper, blue jeans, thong (2001, innit) and black boots), not only could we smoke!, we also got to do the sex... I remember the … Continue reading A Level Poetry 1… UTTER FILTH
Christmas Books vs Christmas Films
Meandering past the book aisle in the supermarket my attention was drawn by the array of festive themed covers of 'chick lit' books. I've never really noticed a huge amount of Christmas themed books launched around this time before despite the fact that the movie business seems to rake it in, but this year there … Continue reading Christmas Books vs Christmas Films
