I'm in the third year of University now and I only managed to read one book this term that wasn't on my module list. The much hyped book, 'The Night Circus,' which was written by Erin Morgenstern. Morgenstern is also a painter, check out her website here: http://erinmorgenstern.com/
The book was very imaginative, but was definitely more style than substance. It's the kind of book you should read for a distraction/escape but nothing more than that.

I have been working for Oxfam Bath as their Press and Publicity Co-ordinator which has been exciting, helping them to secure them coverage in The Bath Chronicle etc. No doubt I'll be using this blog to write about this a lot more over the next few months.

On a final note, I recently published a travel piece I wrote about Thailand on The National Student website. Take a read here:
A fair few links for you this time, sorry about that! :)
