I’m still working out whether wrap-ups are something I want to do each month. On one hand, it seems slightly unnecessary, but then it’s a nice summary to look back on at the end of each month and puts all my reviews for the month in one place for someone to glance at! So I… Continue reading June Wrap-Up

REVIEW: Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor
Part of the project of setting up my blog was to try and do a written review of every book I read, because I think the skills, practice and experience that doing that will give me will be extremely valuable. Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont isn’t the typical book you would see reviewed on a… Continue reading REVIEW: Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor
My 1st year uni experience PART 1! Moving away from home and making friends…
I’m writing this one week after I’ve returned home for the summer holidays, and I’m already planning how I can spend my next two years’ worth of holidays in my university city. Coming home feels almost like a regression in the lessons I’ve learnt at university and the ways in which I’ve changed. People expect… Continue reading My 1st year uni experience PART 1!

REVIEW: The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel
Hey everyone! It appears that I’ve already failed my goal of posting to my blog twice a week, having only posted once last week! I moved out of my first-year university halls last week and have been job hunting the past few days (but have just come back from a successful job trial as I… Continue reading REVIEW: The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel
Autoboyography by Christina Lauren REVIEW

I think it’s also interesting to note here that Christina Lauren is the name of a writing duo who have released almost 20 books, so… Continue reading Autoboyography by Christina Lauren REVIEW
Summer goals 2018
Hello everyone! Today I wanted to talk about a bunch of things I’d like to achieve this summer. These are things that I’ve been thinking about for a while but should finally have the time to do.

Book Blog Newbie Tag
Hello everyone! Today I thought that, to share a little more information about my reading and this blog, and to connect with some other bloggers, I would answer some of the questions from the Book Blog Newbie Tag, which I saw on Dani’s Bookshelf. So here goes! Why did you start this blog? I started… Continue reading Book Blog Newbie Tag
June TBR
Welcome to my June TBR! The books below are the books I’m hoping to get to during the first half of this month. I’m at university until mid-June and need to get through the books I’ve borrowed from local libraries before I go home! I’m not entirely sure what I’ll choose to read during the… Continue reading June TBR
Welcome to Hatterell!
Hello everybody! My name is Ellie, writing under the username hatterell, and welcome to my blog! I thought I’d do an introductory post before I kicked things off and let you know a little about myself. I’m currently 18 years old (although I’m 19 in a couple of weeks!) and am studying English Literature at… Continue reading Welcome to Hatterell!
