Predictive Text Book Title - “A ___ So ___ and _ Predictive Text Book Title - “A ___ So ___ and ___
Mine is: “A Court So Called and Roses” - You can tell what I talk about *occasionally*
I got this one as a gift from Adam when it came out but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I devoured the first two books last year so I’m hoping the mood will strike soon so I can finish this series.

Did you have a favourite read last month? I think Did you have a favourite read last month? I think A Court of Silver Flames was mine. I have a review on the blog but it does contain spoilers so if you haven’t read it yet you may wish to avoid. If you have read it and want to talk about it then feel free to take a peak at my readalong review.

 The Nesta and Cassian candle is from the wonderful @emberstagcandles and I’m sure you will agree it’s just gorgeous! The scent is Orange Blossom, Neroli and Clove which is a lovely mix and perfect for this couple (I think!)

1st March - I’m feeling really positive for Marc 1st March - I’m feeling really positive for March. I really want this to be a happy, productive and feel good month for everyone. I feel a little brighter than I did this time last week. 

How are you feeling about March, is there anything coming up that you’re looking forward to? For me, it’s the last week of homeschool for my eldest who is craving being back in school with her friends and having some semblance of routine back in place. I’m hoping I can get some work done, get some blogs organised and be a bit more consistent overall. 

Speaking of which there is another new chatty vlog up on YouTube. If you feel like chatting with me and talking about the books on my TBR this month then you can click on the link in my bio and I’ll see you over there...

It’s been a draining day. We’ve done a big food shop, meal planned and decluttered one of the cupboards in the hall. Our old broken and bartered sofas are being collected tomorrow and new ones coming Saturday morning. I’m very excited.

There are so many beautiful artwork pieces for the There are so many beautiful artwork pieces for the cruel prince series. I love this puzzle story book from #illumicratejan2021 

Do you do any diy/projects or planning on any decorating soon? We are trying to give our living room a bit more life. Our sofas are old and in need of replacing - thankfully our new ones should be here at the end of the week - and we are replacing our rug that has worn down. 

Most of our furniture is second hand so nothing really matches and I’ve been wanting to change that so I’ve decided to start painting the other bits of furniture starting with a chalk paint upcycle of our coffee table. 

I think I will paint my under desk drawers next and then my small box bookshelf to match the bigger, taller one. We also need to replace our curtains and repair the curtain rail. I’ve never done it before but I’m glad I’m just making what we have fit what I want rather than redecorating the entire room. 

I’m looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.
