Week 2 in the office x I’m a Pret girl now beca Week 2 in the office x

I’m a Pret girl now because £25 per month for up to 5x coffees a day yes sir (although I do v much miss Starbucks coffee I won’t lie) 

Main takeaways from week 2 are I’m going to gain lots of weight if I keep going to the office and eating the cupcakes and croissants but we’re also not out here trying to lose 16lbs in 3 weeks to fit into a dress for all of five mins so I will enjoy the cupcakes 

Last week’s books were also vv enjoyable (None of this is Serious) and sad (Joan Didion) and I need to post about 20 book reviews on my stories but slowly adjusting to being a city gurl and not having time for absolutely anything so bear with x

hello and welcome to my first week at my new jobbb hello and welcome to my first week at my new jobbb 

I think this will be a cute little dump every week to look back on my week at work (see, we romanticise everything here) and what I get up to since I’ll be heading into the office the odd day too x

My first week included a visit to the BAFTA headquarters for a panel talk on attention which was v cool

The books I read in March 📚 I neeeed to stop t The books I read in March 📚

I neeeed to stop taking books out of the library or else I won’t get through the 70+ books I have on my shelves. 

However I did manage to read some good library books in March and added in March’s @booksthatmatteruk book and one I picked up from @shakespeareandcoparis on my jollies so only one book slipped off my actual book shelf last month 🥲

My faves in March:
• The Innocent
• How to be Famous
• Noughts & Crosses
• Bridget Jones’s Diary
• Invisible Girl

The books I read in September!! I have to admit The books I read in September!! 

I have to admit September was my worst month of the year and of course the first one I chose to document. With moving to London, catching up with people and spending all my money at the West End, reading took a bit of a back seat this month. Howeverrr here are some short reviews (full reviews can be found on the blog x) - also tell me what you’re reading and loving as I need some new books for the shelves! 

50. Truly, Madly, Guilty by Liane Moriarty - 3/5
This is the third book I've read by Liane Moriarty and I seem to compare every book to Big Little Lies but it wasn't quite up there with that one. However, there were a lot of twists, turns and unexpected curve balls which I loved. Took me a little longer than I wanted to read, but still enjoyable. 

51. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig (gifted) - 5/5
This has been on my reading list all year so I was pleasantly surprised when this copy landed in my postbox from Canongate. It reminded me a little of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine but I loved the life lessons and it reallyyy did make me think about life and regrets and purpose. A very thought-provoking book that I would hugely recommend.

52. The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg (Gifted) - 4/5
Because Atomic Habits by @jamesclear literally changed my entire life, I had very high hopes for this one. However, TPoH was much more about the science of habit and how to recognize and change a habit. A lot of useful information and I learnt all about the marketing behind Febreeze which I found v enlightening

One of the best things about returning to London i One of the best things about returning to London is being able to catch up with friends I haven’t seen in literal YEARS. And it helps that I organize these catch-ups to revolve around brunch so I can check out some new avocado toast spots 😋 

Excited that this weekend revolves around more catch-ups and seeing my absolute fav @dermotkennedy at Ally Pally. First concert after covid and couldn’t be more excited. Also ironic that my last concert pre-covid was seeing Dermot at Radio City Hall in NYC - how life works!

But if you know me you’ll know concerts/gigs are my fav things on earth so the excitement is very much REAL for tomorrow 🤩
