A Day Trip To London To See Lazarus

Emma January 22, 2017 12 Comments

Way back at the start of December my Dad and I took a quick trip to London to see Lazarus. The new musical written by David Bowie before he died. Here is what happened. We started off the day by getting the first train from Edinburgh to London. I wouldn't really recommend this but it worked out that getting the train there and home on the same day was cheaper than getting a hotel. With most...

My Problem With The Bookstagram Aesthetic

Emma October 20, 2016 41 Comments

I love bookstagram (bookstagram being bookish things on Instagram). I wouldn't call myself a true book blogger. But I love posting book photos and I love talking to people about books.

I got to spend 3 days at the festival, I would have gone more but the talks were expensive and the authors I wanted to see were on late at night which made it almost impossible to get home. This week I have a series of posts on what I did at the festival and on Sunday I have an embarrassingly large book haul. It...
