Having a blog break/Started a Substack
Hello. It’s been a long time since I wrote a post on here and felt I owed you an update since 2021/22. I now no long work in my local library and looking actively for another volunteer position local. I have decided this will sadly be my last post on this blog for a while, however you will be able to keep reading my content already posted and archives. Also just incase you want to keep in touch via reading my work online, I have created recently an educational and writing based account.

To add to this I have accepted the “GoodReads 2017 Challenge” of reading 12 books in 2017.…

[REVIEW] Wicked – Gregory Maguire
All about Politics, Witches and Wizards. I want to say I am reviewing this book after not reading in ages! Now that I think of it, I really should do a re-read at the end of the year when I get some time out of my busy reading schedule. This book is my all-time favourite book and it’s pretty good if I may say so myself. On my first read, I dived right into and it took me about 3 days to finish it. I really loved it. It is basically the backstory of who the “Wicked Witch of the West” in “The Wizard of Oz” is; where she came from,…
