I’ve been doing a terrible job at keeping up with my blogging and it’s now been a whole month since I came back from Cambodia! It’s probably about time that I wrote the second instalment of my adventures there: all about the sightseeing and touristy things I did. While Cambodia may not be the tourism […]
So I know that I haven’t blogged in a while, well ages, but I have a good excuse: I’ve been in Cambodia! I’ve just come back from the best three weeks of my life and while I’m still a little dazed and confused, I’m ready to share my adventures. I went to Siem Reap in Cambodia […]

I’m just like Katniss. And just like that I realised that the universal symbol for archery nowadays isn’t Robin Hood, or some superhero […]
As I come to the third book on my self-imposed 2013 reading list, I should probably point out that it’s a bit silly of me to title some of these posts as ‘reviews’ when they’re really just my thoughts. I don’t really know how I can review such a classic as The Great Gatsby. I should […]
As an English Literature student, I can’t help but feel that it is my duty to protect the sacredness of books in their physical form and to consequently disown all eBooks and everything they stand for.
