New book!

Just about to start Murder at the Black Cat Cafe 🐈‍⬛

I wanted to pick up something shorter as I’m hoping to be buddy reading the final book in The Poppy War trilogy with a friend soon. So didn’t want to get into anything too lengthy. I picked this up on a whim on my most recent trip to Waterstones. I had 3 books in the buy one get one half price, so needed a fourth (yay for book maths!) and this looked interesting and quite different from what I would usually read. Fingers crossed it’s a good one! Have you read this?

Starting a New Commonplace Book

Picking a new notebook is always so hard for me, but I decided to move into a Stalogy Editor 365 A5 size notebook that I had on hand for my new work commonplace book. The Leuchtturm1917 B6+ size Monthly notebook served me well, but it was a bit too small. So the A5 Stalogy notebook it is! My fav
