The Willoughby Book Club #2

Hello!

So we have had our first day of lockdown, I will be honest it hasn’t been much different to my normal days. Studying with a little bit of online teaching thrown into the mix. However, I did have something which doesn’t happen everyday and that was my wonderful Willoughby Book Club delivery! I have been so excited about this delivery! I am so grateful to my amazing friend who got it for my birthday as it really is something to look forward to each month.

Here is my lovely book!

I’ve never come across this author or even seen this book before so I am rather excited to read it.

I think the thing I love most about getting a surprise book each month is the fact that I am getting to discover lots of new books and authors. It makes me leave my comfort zone and I think that is definitely a good thing.

Please drop me a message if you have read this book as I would love to hear your thoughts.

Happy Reading!

Mid Week Quote: Anton Chekov

Happy Wednesday!

I’m not sure how a happy a Wednesday it is with the prospect of another lockdown starting tomorrow but hopefully we can all stay safe and hopefully it will lead to better things.

My chosen quote today is by someone I studied a long time ago in A Level Drama, Anton Chekov. Anton Chekov (1860-1904) was a Russian playwright and short story writer. He was a medical doctor for most of his literary career.

“Everything on earth is beautiful, everything – except what we ourselves think and do when we forget the higher purposes of life and our own human dignity.”
Anton Chekov

Happy reading and stay safe.

Top Ten Tuesday: Non Bookish Hobbies

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For more info please check out Jana’s blog.

I love this weeks theme! I’m hoping we will all get to know a bit more about each other.

So here are my non bookish hobbies

Walking
Knitting
Crocheting
Cross stitch
Fitness
Baking
Music
Thimble Collecting
National Trust visiting
Travelling

So there is my list of hobbies that aren’t book related. Travelling has obviously taken a back seat since Covid and National Trust visiting but I hope one day to return to it. I have also collected thimbles since I was child, I now own about 700.

Please drop me a comment with your Top Ten Tuesday and I will head over for a visit.

October 2020 Wrap Up

Another good month for reading and I seem to have come up with a good balance between studying and fun reading. Whether that balance will continue once I get into writing assignments is yet to be seen.

This wrap up post has a new addition of statistics I am very excited, even if I never have been that keen on pie charts. I think they will grow on me.
