“Anyone who’s worth anything reads just what he likes.”
– Virginia Woolf, from Jacob’s Room. …Which sadly, I didn’t like. But this quote was nice!

Never mind, there's always MacDonalds for you, you can get some stars. Yay for you.

Rowling One Day - David Nicholls Persuasion - Jane Austen The Faraway...

Wasn’t the Made In Chelsea Christmas Special lovely? It’s not often that reality, or rather “reality” TV can give you happy goosebumps, but there’s something about Caggie and Spencer as a proper entity which really is quite lovely. Let’s hope it lasts and Cagg doesn’t flit around like a nervous moth like she usually does. That way we can continue to...
