Resolution Book 4


Pride and Prejudice

Over the past few months while I have been revising for my exam and completing my coursework, my reading has suffered quite a lot. Luckily, I decided to have a quick read of the first portion of a book in preparation for my English Literature exam. This book was Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and I plan on continuing to read it for my resolution.

I am not usually gripped by 'classic books', however, on occasion one grasps me and I get indulged in the story. I have somehow managed to never hear anything about the story of Pride and Prejudice other than there being a character called Mr Darcy.

I'm very excited to read the story and my mum has kindly lent me her gorgeous copy of Jane Austen's complete novels. The inscription on the inside details that the book was a birthday gift to my mum from my grandma and grandad, dated 1997, meaning she has had this book longer than I've been alive! (But not by much.)

Keep an eye out for my review that is soon to come!

Where I Have Been


Where I Have Been

Hi everyone.

So, I have been away for quite a while and I wanted to write this little update to just let you all know where I have been.

Basically, my A-Level exam and coursework deadlines have come and gone, and in the months that i've been away I have been revising and doing work for them. I felt like I needed to spend as much time as I could in preparation for my exam and doing work for my BTEC courses, meaning something had to take a back seat for a while. Blogging was one of these things, unfortunately.

However, I am now back and ready to begin blogging as much as I possibly can! I'm on summer holidays until August/September when I start University, but I will be studying Journalism and blogging is a great extra-curricular activity for my course. I will begin to regularly post on all of my blogs again and I can't wait for you to read them!
