A few people asked me about this when I posted my year in review stats on my Instagram story in January. (You can view that story here.) When I first started recording what books I read (way back in the old days), I used Goodreads. But then in 2021, I saw a new app trending…

Major Project (as a Publishing MA student)
For the final project of my degree, we all had the option of writing a dissertation as an individual, or working in groups on a major project. I chose group work. Part of the reason why I chose to attend this particular university was the fact that the school has a publishing house. So even…
Literary Festivals
If you are involved in the publishing world, you will be aware of literary festivals around the country, and even the world. At the beginning of my degree, our lecturers informed us of a lit fest that took place in the north of England, which in itself is less common, since most of the publishing…
I Survived My First Semester As A Master’s Student
Yay! The semester ended just last week, and my final assignments were submitted January 7th. Yes, that means I was doing homework over the holiday break, but let’s not talk about that. Instead, here’s what I learned through doing these assignments: Market research My first assignment was to write a report on US and UK…
Recent Reads
Hello! It’s been a hot minute, but I’m still alive. I know I’ve done a post like this before, but as a little update, I wanted to share again what I have been reading and give recommendations to others. I read a few books with some of my friends, so the range of books I’ve…
September’s Plan
Still going strong with the resolutions for each month! I’ve decided to recycle an earlier one of mine since I fell out of touch with it a bit recently. In February, I decided that I would use social media less and read more. I believe I was successful, but I’ve fallen back into old habits…
July Mini Resolution
I am still going strong with finding a new resolution to do every month! And most of the time, I end up continuing that resolution after the month is up. For me, I suppose it works better when I set a goal for the near future, rather than a whole year. After I do it…
April’s Check-In
If you read my April resolution post, you will know that the challenge I chose for myself involved minimalism. For each day of April, I got rid of items that equaled the date. So in total, I was supposed to have gotten rid of 465 items. This doesn’t mean that I threw everything away. That…
February Reads
In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that my resolution for February was to read more. I followed that with a post stating that my resolution had gone well, but did not specify how much, or what I ended up reading during the month. This post is to share that and satisfy your curiosity….
March Resolutions
Resolution update: in my opinion, February’s went fairly well! Even though I probably could have used social media a little less and read a little more, I believe that I still managed to read more than I was previously, which was the point. For those who think that they don’t have enough time in the…
