rereads and regrets│SMALL THOUGHTS #3

It's time for my first series of mini reviews in 2025! I've had a good start to the year when it comes to my reading goal - I'm ahead by three books. But I know how quickly it can go downhill when life gets in the way, so we'll just have to see how it goes. Here are my thoughts on some of the books I've been loving and...no so loving lately. 😬The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to...

A bit of a new type of post for me – wallpapers! I’ve been doing photography for a decade now, and I have far too many spare pictures that are always just wasting away on my OneDrive. So, I thought I’d inject some life into them and turn them into desktop wallpapers. Initially, I was simply planning on making them for myself, but I figured I’d share them here in case anyone was looking for a new background. I’m hoping to make some for every month of the year, so keep an eye out in the final...
