Her name is often carried as a notorious queen. A sex goddess who seduced Henry into reforming the church. But we're not going to focus on those claims. And as much as I love SIX, they uphold Boleyn's flirtatious nature and dismiss her political influence. In 'Don't Lose Ur Head' she explicitly says "politics? Not... Continue Reading →
Hi Biscuit Breakers! It's still Wednesday and I know I'm pushing it, but even if you're reading this on a Thursday it's still the aim of this #WriteFromHome campaign to write. This week's writing workshop was held by Sonya Hundal and the theme was all about Museums and what we would find in a personal... Continue Reading →
Hi Biscuit Breakers! Now that my trip to the theatre to see SIX! has unfortunately been postponed, I thought I'd share some little known facts about Henry VIII's wives, which in retrospect shouldn't be "little known". First up is Catherine of Aragon. She was a Spanish princess originally betrothed to Henry's older brother: Arthur. However... Continue Reading →
Now it's not often that I finish a book and feel slightly... well underwhelmed. Zadie Smith is a powerhouse of an author who has published many books concerning race, gender, identity and living in a modern world. She is highly successful for her books such as White Teeth and On Beauty, so top creds to... Continue Reading →
Hi Biscuit Breakers, I don't think I know one stable minded person. And that is okay. I've battled and am still battling with mental health issues that I've had since I was 13.

Hi Biscuit Breakers! Today is another #WriteFromHome day where I will be sharing with you one of my responses to this week's online writing workshop held by Dean Atta. The theme for this week was 'Water' and I loved it purely because water is one of the most versatile pieces of imagery that you can... Continue Reading →
When I say I have never binged a show in an entire day or two, I mean it. And I'm pretty proud that I can resist the urge to watch a whole show in one night. But Never Have I Ever was different. I binged the whole series in two days. No regrets. As soon... Continue Reading →
I'm aware that I had a seriously forgetful brain yesterday. I forgot to post my weekly Wednesday #WriteFromHome and I also forgot to attend an English class on zoom. I blame my energy in finishing Pride and Prejudice, which I got so invested in, I practically forgot everything else. So! Without wasting anymore time in... Continue Reading →
Hi Biscuit Breakers! Today (12th May) marks International Nurses Day. It's very important to celebrate this day especially at the moment as these wonderful nurses our saving our lives under the coronavirus pandemic. International Nurses Day was first celebrated in 1965, and it was chosen on this day as it is Florence Nightingale's birthday. She... Continue Reading →
No matter how many differences that I will find from the book. This film will always be one of my favourites. First of all, the casting of Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly is iconic. I mean, this gif doesn't even do it justice. Secondly, I love Anne Hathaway and she seems to be the master... Continue Reading →
