Well, it’s a rather unimpressive litany of failing to exercise regularly, struggling with revision, work, a brief (but wondrous) trip to Rome, summer. Sometimes the world feels like it’s falling apart (or maybe that’s just what Donald Trump would have us believe), but I’m constantly reminded that there’s always beauty and thank goodness books. Here’s what I’ve been reading, listed in no particular order! I admit to initia...

The latest news from revision land. April 8, 2016. It’s been a while since I’ve blogged lately, despite my best intentions. And suddenly it’s April. April is indeed the cruellest month to quote T.S.
