K Is For Kismet
June 13, 2019 marked 1 ½ years since my mum died and just like last year, this year’s June anniversary also hit hard. I woke up sad because I had one of those dreams about my mum where she is still alive and it is always so upsetting to wake up and remember that she … Continue reading K Is For Kismet
The Fortune Hunter by Daisy Goodwin
Book 16/30. My rating: 2 of 5 stars I didn't like this but I also didn't not like it. A 2 star book if I ever read one. But at least I learned something about a remarkable woman in history I previously had no idea about. The cover is real pretty though, which is 100% … Continue reading The Fortune Hunter by Daisy Goodwin

I went in August 2016 for my birthday as I won the … Continue reading Made In Malindi

“People’s conformity and lack of intellectual curiosity makes life less interesting than it ought to be.” John Green John Green is easily one of my favourite authors. While Nora Roberts is my absolute favourite author of all time, Mr. Green is definitely in my top ... 10? I am not entirely certain I have enough … Continue reading J Is For John Green
Dear John by Nicholas Sparks
Book 15/30. My rating: 2 of 5 stars I barely remember it, but I much prefer the movie version ... or maybe I just much prefer Channing Tatum. Lol. I do not know what it is about Sparks' books, but I tend to favour the movie over the book. My biggest issue with this book … Continue reading Dear John by Nicholas Sparks
