Hello Readers & Friends,
I can't believe we're one month into 2021 already. January came and went so quickly. It's been a horrible month. Dark, cold, and the UK still in complete lockdown. But with February at least brighter days seem around the corner.
January Book Roundup:
I bumped my GoodReads target up to 100 for 2021 so I pushed myself and got through 9 books this month. I was a bit up and down, I read some which were disappointing (The Magpie Society) and some which were just bizarre and not for me (Bunny). But here we are:
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness ****
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness ****
The Secret Bridesmaid by Katy Birchall ****
The Ravens by Kass Morgan, Danielle Paige **/*
The Magpie Society by Zoe Sugg, Amy McCullock **/*
The Lost Storyteller by Amanda Block *****
Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalo ***
Foul is Fair by Hannah Capin ***
How The King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black ***
Bunny by Mona Awad **
Bunny by Mona Awad **
FILM
Pride and Prejudice - Netflix
Okay I know this sounds wild but I've never read or seen Pride and Prejudice before, so I sat down and watched the film, the one with Kiera Knightly, and absolutely loved it! So now I have the Colin Firth TV series sat in my watch list as well, because I'm interested to see how it was adapted for a series.
TV
Bridgerton - Netflix
Clearly I've been in the mood for period things, but I absolutely loved Bridgerton. And, to my GREATEST surprise, so did Steven. It was like a historical Gossip Girl, I loved the characters, particularly Daphne and Eloise, and am fascinated by how women were treated back in those days.
And, of course, the Duke wasn't bad to watch either. I loved it and it made me want to wear corsets and ballgowns and I can't recommend enough, even if you don't think it's your thing. (It's not my usual thing, at all! And definitely not Steven's! So that's your proof if you're on the fence.)
Books

Music
Renaissance Girl -Alybob
I spend quite a lot of time searching for musicians in random places like Youtube, Soundcloud etc. I love indie artists and supporting undiscovered gems, and I fell upon Alybob on TikTok and this song has been stuck in my head ever since I love the poetic lyrics.
How are you feeling for 2021?
Love, C x
