While there were definitely some less than desirable (and that's putting it lightly) moments in 2017, looking back I've realised that overall it was a pretty great year: I graduated with a First Class Honours Degree, attended YALC, made some great new friends, got to meet lots of lovely bookish people and authors, got a new car thanks to my family, started saving for a deposit for a house, celebrated my six year anniversary with my boyfriend George, had my blog featured in Blogosphere magazine and worked with some pretty awesome publishers, brands and companies to create content for ...
