I have a lot planned for this year. Whether I manage it all is another matter, but I am stepping into this new year with a plan! A road map, if you will. The kind we used to have, badly folded and tea-stained.

Goodbye, 2025 – Where Has The Time Gone!? (Yearly Wrap-Up)
It feels like only a moment ago that we welcomed 2025 in with a tentative cheer. Now, we are already saying goodbye and shoving it out the door like a guest who overstayed their welcome. The older you get the quicker things do seem to move. I can definitely attest to that. But, now is the time when I look back at how the year went.
The Power of Letters
If, like me, grew up in the 90s or earlier, you will probably have handwritten a letter or two in your time. Hopefully, more than that. When the digital age dawned and email became the thing, handwritten or even typed letters posted through the mail dwindled. But I want to talk about letters today. Physical letters and their importance now more than ever.
Hello 2025, It’s Time For Change
A brand new page has opened before us as the New Year greeted us. Crisp and fresh and we... bring with us all the baggage from the last. It's inevitable. But how we handle that baggage and how we approach the coming year makes all the difference. If I had to choose a word for this new year, it would be 'Change'.
Goodbye, 2024 (Yearly Wrap-Up)
I always like writing these Yearly Wrap-up posts. Life moves fast and there is so much that is mundane, we sometimes miss all the things we have done or achieved or learned. So taking the time to look back over the year, always makes me feel more appreciative of everything that happened.
Goodbye, 2023 (Yearly Wrap-Up)
Before we slam the book tightly shut on 2023 and look tentatively ahead to another year, I am back with a Yearly Wrap-Up. It can be helpful to look back to see what the last 12 months dealt out, what was completed, what was lost..
Reblog: We Have Zero Boundaries
As I have been scrambling to complete 2 months worth of stuff, into 3 weeks, I didn't get chance to write a blog post. However, I did see a video by author Bethany Atazadeh that talked about boundaries for Authors and I thought it was well worth a share!
9 Gift Ideas For Readers
Are you the sort of person who waits until December to do their festive shopping? Do you have some book lovers amongst your friends and family and aren't sure what to get them? Obviously "a book" is always a winner, but how about something extra or something a little different. Then look no further, here are some great bookish gift ideas for those loved ones (or...just to treat yourself!)
Let’s Connect: Tell Us About Yourself
It's been a while so I thought I'd do another "Let's Connect" post. I believe my last one was back in 2019. The blogging community is a supportive place and I always think it's fun to reach out and learn more about each other.
You might just find some new blogs you have never heard of before, new people to follow and new friends along the way. 🙂
My Top 5 Creepy Movies
I thought I'd do something a little different. Since it's October and almost Halloween, I thought I'd share my top 5 Creepy Movies (currently). Now, I don't actually watch many horror movies and I am not interested in gore movies or extremely gruesome ones. These ones are some of the few I can watch (in daylight only :D) that I enjoyed the storyline and weren't so scary that I'd never sleep again.
