Here's what's been making me happy this month: Brunching with my boys. Great coffee. Sleeping in my own bed. Introducing Sam to The Prisoner of Azkaban. Cracking open a new book. A great TBR picked by Steph. Managing to hold it together when S got sick. Summer Bird Blue arriving in the post. New safety... Continue Reading →
This week Steph is encouraging us to show some love to blogging. I think we all go through times when we wonder what we're doing this for; each of the things on this list are what kept me going during my own times of doubt. 1. #SundayYA has to get a special shout out here.... Continue Reading →

Welcome to another month's Bu-Jo post. Join me in a coffee whilst I look at the utter disaster that is this month's journalling. The Coffee: This week I'm drinking Clifton Coffee's Finca Hartmann Panama, one of their rare varietal series with tasting notes of Lemongrass and green tea. It mostly tastes like a really (really)...

I was tagged for this by Steph from Dystopia Fantasy Reads. Thanks for the tag Steph! Auto-Approved: Who is one author whose books you automatically want to read, regardless of what they are about? Melinda Salisbury. I would read her grocery list if she published it. Request: What makes you want to request a book... Continue Reading →
