I saw Avengers: Infinity War! I'm hoping to post a discussion-type-thing/random fangirlish thoughts next week - assuming I can keep a schedule for once! 😉



'Til then, let's see what I've got for ya this week:

Month in Review(s) - April 2018






April... ha, so, what's May lookin' like? 😅

April happened. I lived through it *starts singing I'm still standing by Elton John and doing an incredibly embarrassing dance.*

My grandmother is still in hospital - she went in at the beginning of March - but she's definitely improving. We're basically waiting for a social care package in place so that she can go home, because there's no way my 88-year-old grandfather can take care of her.

And on the last day of April my laptop - which had been hanging on on a wing and a prayer, granted - gave up the ghost.







On the plus side, I reached over 3k Twitter followers in April! I love you guys, really! XD

I love my blogging friends - but you weren't originally who I was aiming my brain babbling at (But I still love you!!!! Never leave me!!!! *tugs at your sleeves to stop you going*)

No, when this blog started, it's half-formed, characteristically-vague, ideal was to spread reading like a positive plague across the globe - I wanted, and still want, to make READING go viral.

For those of you who don't know, synaesthesia is: a) a melding or running together of two senses, and b) something that I have.

Technical Difficulties - Life/Blogging Update





Hi my nerdlets! This is an impromptu post to let you know that my laptop's broken.

I'm going to be honest, this isn't a surprise. I've literally been sticking it back together with sellotape and model glue for a while now.

What it does mean, though, is that my blogging is going to be limited for a little while until I can get a new one.

At the moment, I have what time I can get on the family desktop, and my mobile phone.

Nerd Church - Please, Shut Up About the Royals




I'm British. But I don't care about the royal family. I don't care about the royal baby. I don't care about Harry marrying Meghan.

What I do care about is that I keep having to hear about them all.


Social and mainstream media are both fawning over all things royal and... *sighs* I don't mind like one news-in-brief report or whatever guys, but everyone seems to have freaking lost it, tbh.

Friday Fics Fix - Severely Severus

I know, I know, Severus Snape is kind of a divisive figure in the online bookish community, and with fans in general.

Lotsa people love him - he's a hero, a tragic figure, a hopeless romantic.

Lotsa people hate him - he's a bully, a sneak, an obsessive and petty man.
