2014 Vinyl Haul

Tuesday, 18 November 2014

No comments
So way back in August I finally got my hands on a beautiful Crosley turntable and my penchant for charity shopping for books spread into second hand records. But as my collection grew so did my endless spending on records at gigs, records that once purchased I had to clutch onto for dear life for fear of snapping through the rest of the evening. For those jumping around me completely unaware...

Stunning blogger Renee Ruin observes the bad and the beautiful in 'Wounds: Volume One' a collection of evocative and eloquent poetry that will haunt you until you pick it up again. I waited months for this stunning collection to reach British soil and after tempting fate and pestering Renee it arrived the next day. From the moment I met the palm that graced the front cover I couldn't put Wounds...

'Delta Of Venus' by Anais Nin

Sunday, 9 February 2014

No comments
Anais Nin penned an exotic erotic world made up of individuals writing their illustrious desires in order to make a living, desires that were not always raunchy but beautiful, instinctive and sensuous whilst remaining accessible. I did not pick 'Delta Of Venus' up with the intention of seeing it as an erotic novel, and I do not think it should be. Yes there is sex but it feels real, Nin has...

Saturday, 11 January 2014

This morning when I got in from my driving lesson there was a stack of parcels left on my bed, now most of them were for Sam but there was a sneaky wee tube that filled me with excitement.
