Week in pictures (w.e. 21/02): reading on the train; tea; and tv

I often like to spend my travelling time reading. Luckily I catch trains as reading on buses make me queasy! Here I'm reading All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. This is a bit of a hefty book to carry around (the large paperback version). But I am liking it so far.

I am also a fan of teas and this is a nifty tea infuser. His name is Fred :). The tea I'm drinking is T2's Green Rose. It's a nice flowery green tea.

I'm also a huge fan of The Good Wife and like to keep up to date with the episodes I've missed. Alicia kicks butt!

Top Ten Tuesday (03/03): Top Ten Books You Would Classify As All Time Favourite Books

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . It's fun to do and interesting to read what other bloggers have to say as well! Join in the fun! Top Ten Books You Would Classify as ALL TIME FAVOURITE BOOKS From the Past 5 Years 1. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. This is the most recent in this list. I loved how Erin Morgenstern wove the story around the characters and the circus. She also has a wonderful writing style that just makes you see, smell, hear and feel what she is writing, like you're right there. I wrote a review on this here . 2. Where She Went by Gayle Forman. I really enjoyed If I Stay and literally bought and read Where She Went straight after I finished it. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. This book is from Adam's perspective and he really does have a lot of sadness, doubt and anguish. Gayle Forman does a great job portraying Adam's feelings. Gut-wrenchingly beautiful, is al...

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . Check out The Broke and the Bookish and other TTT lists! Ten Books You Recently Added to Your TBR List! Haha... coincidentally, I think most of my recent TBR list are books I've discovered through reading other TTT lists! And book blogger reviews. Let's see what interesting books I've recently added on Goodreads. 1. The Guy, the Girl, the Artist and His Ex by Gabrielle Williams. This was a surprise inclusion with the next book. 2. Pieces of Sky by Trinity Doyle. Recently won a proof of this (and above) from Allen & Unwin. 3. The Every series by Ellie Marney. Intrigued I didn't know about this series earlier. 4. Reluctantly Charmed by Ellie O'Neill. Not sure where I've added this from but it does sound fascinating. 5. Vicious by V.E. Schwab. I think a natural addition following the below discovery :) 6. A Darker Shad...

Top Ten Tuesday (24/02): Top Ten Heroines

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish . Join in the fun! Top Ten Heroines (in no particular order) 1. Ella ( Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine). This was one of my favourite books as a child and Ella is just phenomenal. She's smart, witty and has a lot of guts. Plus she captures Prince Char's heart (I majorly fell in love with Char when I first read this book). I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the movie adaptation; a huge fail for me even though I adore Anne Hathaway. 2. Hermione Granger ( Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling ) . Of course, what's a heroine list without Hermione. What would Harry do without Hermione? She's the brains in the famous trio and gutsy too. 3. Emma Donahoe ( Dark Heavens trilogy by Kylie Chan). A devoted fan to this series (now into it's third trilogy). Dark Heavens is the first and best of the three trilogies, with Emma being the kick-ass main character, pu...
