Urm, ok hi! 👋🏼 Putting my midweek breakdown Urm, ok hi! 👋🏼 Putting my midweek breakdown 👀 on pause to let you all know I’ve got two more books to share 📚 (because I’m a millennial who clearly needs some validation) 😅😂
⠀
Let’s get down to business:
⠀
🌸 “Surprise Me” by Sophie Kinsella ⭐️/5
⠀
Honestly I’m so mad I read this, Kinsella books are usually cute and romantic but this one was a bag of shit 🤷🏼‍♀️
⠀
🌸 “Would Like to Meet” by Rachel Winters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
⠀
Super cute, charming little romcom about how romcoms work. It’s basically a romcom in a romcom?!! 😂Full of adorable meet cutes and funny one liners BUT the main character is a bit frustrating on how unaware she is😅 probably only the downer for me! 💖
⠀
On to the next 💖
⠀
P.S also showing off my cute V day card from @ameliaellwood cauuuuuse it’s adorable 😍

📖 BOOK REVIEW: “Tweet Cute” by Emma Lord
⠀
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
⠀
This was SO cute, I can’t even handle it. 😍A sweet, lighthearted story full of food, twitter and cheesy puns. 🎉
⠀
The characters are super likeable (apart from the v controlling Mum, ew)  and the writing just flowed really well. It’s kind like a present day telling of “You’ve got Mail” but with a few other elements chucked in for good measure. 💖

“There’s nothing magical about January 1st”

2020 has loaded

It’s here. A new year. A new decade. Are you excited? I think I am. Looking across my twitter feed, I can see that a lot of you are excited for the new year. While I love the excitement and I’m really excited to share my goals with you this year, I feel like its important to point out one key thing.

While lots of us (myself included) use the new year to kickstart the goal setting into action. We need to remember that this isn’t our only time to take that opportunity. Everyday, is a day to set a new goal or even pick one up that you’ve fallen back on.

“There is nothing magical about January 1st”

What I’m trying to tell you is, any day can be your January 1st. So don’t be too hard on yourself if you fall down at all this year, we can always get back up and start again. You just have to be always willing.

And one more thing: Do not set yourself too many goals! Do not make it impossible for yourself and make sure you allow yourself to achieve what you set. Hit a goal throughout the year? Replace it with another one, it can be a glorious continuous cycle of empowerment.

That being said, here’s what I’m hoping to achieve this year.

My Power Goals for 2020

Continue making our house into a home

As some readers will know, we moved into our first home in 2019. While its new, shiny and wonderful – we still have some cosying (is that a word?) up to do. i am very much someone who thrives in a clean, comforting environment – so a little home decor is needed. I also plan to do this on the cheap. Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing bits soon!

mollie clarke.co.uk

Read more – always!

Reading is always on any goal list of mine because its so empowering and I love, just love getting lost in a good book. I definitely read more last year (win!) but I want to continue that streak. I was also really lucky and extremely thankful to be gifted a kindle by my mum for Christmas. This makes reading on a commute so much easier for me!

I just want to point out that I’ve been inspired by Alice Spake, to keep tracking of all the books I’ve read via twitter this year – so look out for that!

mollie clarke.co.uk

side note: I also wanna watch more films – but I don’t think that’s as note worthy as discovering more books!

Grow the blog and Grow & Glow with Vix Meldrew

Last year, I paid for a membership fee to a blogging programme called Grow & Glow. It’s been a great learning experience so far but I’ve fallen slightly behind – balancing work etc can be a real struggle in the lead up to Christmas! But nevertheless, I’m ready to schedule in some time in and really work on it. I actually love learning, so i’m excited about making this a goal.

mollieclarke.co.uk

I’m also planning to just keep growing this little internet home of mine, I’m not setting any specific targets just yet, all I want to see is some kind of growth and to be completely honest with you – I’m really happy with this mindset. It feels like im being kinder to myself. Does that make sense?.

Capture more memories

I was really thankful to receive an Instax camera for Christmas. As a result, I’ve bought myself a little scrapbook (I’m going to name it 2020) and pledge to capture more memories. From everyday things to special occasions, it will be nice to look back on some day.

mollieclarke.co.uk

Explore more of Cambridgeshire

I’m slowly taking a turn with this blog to uncover more and more of Cambridgeshire. I’m so thrilled I can happily call this my home now and I plan to explore every little corner from the mainstream to the otherwise unseen.

mollieclarke.co.uk

Are you local to cambridgeshire and have a hotspot you think I should visit? Let me know in the comments below!

And there are my power goals for 2020, I’m really excited for this year and I’m actually really excited for January in particular. There’s something about this month that just feel overwhelmingly fresh for me.

What do you have planned for 2020?

Full lockdown has definitely allowed more time for Full lockdown has definitely allowed more time for reading and I’m not mad about it... 💁🏼‍♀️
⠀
Second book of 2021 all done ✅ (currently on my fourth - we won’t talk about the third 😫)
⠀
“The Love Square” 💗 by Laura Jane Williams
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
⠀
The perfect swoony, sweet read to escape lockdown for a few hours. Didn’t grab me as much as her novel “Our Stop” I do have to admit. (Really recommend you read “Our Stop” if you love a romance! 😍)
⠀
Started off really well, really fast paced but the plot became a bit dragging in some places. Our main gal is not reallllly in a Love Square and I think a lot of needed detail to help the story was just missing??🤷🏼‍♀️ I never really felt like there was this big aha moment. BUT the ending was cute, sweet and redeemed it for me... 😘
