A few good reads.

There are no two ways about it: I love to read. If you're like me, you'll probably be on the hunt for some new reading material for the summer. Or, maybe you're not that into reading but you want something to take on holiday with you, but don't know where to start. Either way, look no further! I've compiled a list of some of my favourite books, all of which I cannot recommend enough, to get you through these next few months. None of them are too taxing, making them perfect for reading by the pool, or on a long plane journey, or any other time, really! Enjoy, and happy reading! 

The Book Thief, by Marcus Zusak

This is an absolutely brilliant book! Written from the perspective of Death, it follows the journey of a young girl living in Nazi Germany during WWII, and her life with the foster parents to whom she has been assigned. A touching tale of love and loss, with a big ol' bit of history thrown in (don't worry, it definitely doesn't feel like you're reading a History text book), this is definitely my favourite book.

Spring Beauty Favourites

I realised I'm a little late in the month for May favourites, so I thought for my first favourites post I'd review the things I've been loving throughout Spring! Hope you like it!

Hello! (and a little about me)

Hello! I'm Tilly, and welcome to my blog! I'm a 21 year old English and American Literature graduate, currently at home in North Wales for the summer before beginning my Master's Degree in English Literature in September (eek!). I have four dogs, including two new lurcher puppies who are growing at the speed of light, so prepare for lots of canine photos! I have a huuuuuge love for all things beauty, makeup, fashion, etc., etc.,  and also a passion for writing, so I thought, 'why not combine the two?'. 

Anyway, now that the awkward introductions are out of the way, we can get on with the good stuff! I'd love for you to comment or ask me any questions, or to read your own blog if you have one, so feel free to get in touch!

I hope you like my blog :)
