ArtsHub: “Gilded”
"Gilded" by Marissa Meyer This book is a treasure: a YA/Adult delve into a fairytale land of mythical creatures, medieval-style life (complete with magic, of course) and a plot that reframes Rumpelstiltskin. In this clever book the author's research into the setting and the narrative style is evident. At 600-odd* pages it's a fantastic escape… Continue reading ArtsHub: “Gilded”

Energy
Energy is within us all. Some days I wake up after a sound night's sleep and feel so weary, like I could sleep deeply for ten hours all over again - immediately. These are the days when I struggle to get started: I have to push myself into my getting-up routine and, if it's a… Continue reading Energy
