It is Top Ten Tuesday time again! It looks like I'm a Broke and the Bookish regular now. Today's topic is the most anticipated books for the second half of 2017. Seriously? We're halfway through already?! I've avoided looking at upcoming books for a while, the immense amount of books on my shelf is intimidating enough to petrify me, let alone 2017 releases...
On Thursday 25th May I went and saw The Addams Family at the Marlowe Theatre. Though it has been professionally performed on Broadway, The Addams Family has never been showcased in the UK; until now of course. I believe that there is a reason why. I found that the musical didn’t quite live up to its expectations. Even before I saw it I...
In England, the cold weather is finally fading after sticking around for a long time! A looooong long time! The jackets are off, and the sun is out. I’ve been planning to share my love of spring and summer for a while now, and the transition between the two seasons is the perfect time to let you guys know why I love this...
Over here in England, things have started heating up. Suddenly it’s too hot to wear a jacket, and the sun’s still shining after 8pm.

Some of books in this list I read in summer,...
A few weeks ago on Show Sunday I wrote a post about the shows I’m looking forward to seeing this summer. I thought it would be only fitting if I told you guys about some of the best musicals I’ve seen in the past. This is in no particular order. I can wittle it down to five, but order them?! I’m too indecisive...
Like The Fault in Our Stars and many other books similar to this, Me Before You left me speechless. I still feel tongue-tied now, not really knowing what to say. I read Jojo Moye’s book in a couple of days, whizzing through the last 150 pages in one night, although fairly groggily considering the tragic turn it takes. When I read the last...
Although Mother’s Day has already passed in the UK, over in America it is Mother’s Day this weekend, so that is the theme for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday. Like a fortnight ago, The Broke and Bookish has given everyone free reign to choose what they like under that topic. And I’ve chosen characters who would be good mums! Sometimes an epilogue shows...
Top Ten Tuesday is back with another topic. And this week The Broke and the Bookish are asking us all: What would we have on our reading wishlist? Following a good long think, this is what I managed to come up with. Travellers – As soon as I know that a book is about a circus or a group of people who travel,...
