2020 Plans
2020 looks unplanned, open to opportunities and new developments. I like the sound of that.
2019 – End of Year Wrap Up
I started this blog in October 2019, so really a bit much to be calling it an end of year wrap. But you get the gist. It’s the best and worst of the last three months.
Merry Christmas 2019
Here we at Christmas Eve and finally I’m into the swing of things. Today I finished the audiobook of A Christmas Carol, this classic tale is always worth revisiting.
Reading Theme – Wrap Up
I can’t ignore the tight plots and good writing which illuminates and doesn’t glare, introduces and doesn’t stomp. Stories that take you on a journey you enjoy for the duration and not just in parts.
Book of the Month โ November 2019
The message I got from this book was when you believe in yourself when you acknowledge the belief that someone has in you, everything is possible. You find a strength you didn’t even know you had to fight, to stand up for yourself and be a leader. This invokes the times Amani has referenced Binta telling Amani to be brave, as if Binta knew that despite appearances and past behaviour, Amani could be brave.
Reading Theme – November 2019
These books can be classed as young adult romances, modern day fairy tales or coming of ages stories โ supernatural or otherwise. But at the heart they are about how young people and adults react and deal with ordinary and extraordinary circumstances.
Book of the Month – October 2019
It is difficult to have enjoyed a book so much but be unable to articulate that in words.
World Teachers’ Day 2019
In secondary school, I was expanding my scope and luckily enough to have an English teacher who took an interest in my interests.
Why here and now?
Why today of all days to start a blog or more accurately build a website?
