I Mustache You Some Questions...

A few days ago the lovely Girl with her Head in a Book nominated me to answer a few questions about myself. I thought it sounded like fun so here we go...


Four names people call me other than my real name:
1) Tori/Toria - used solely by my little sister, and by little I mean 19 years old.
2) Kid - my dad, or 'Pops' as I call him.
3) Vix - used by my closest friends, and sort of where my blog url came from too!
4) Vickster - an old nickname from secondary school


Four jobs I've had:
1) Farmer
2) Housesitter
3) Dog-walker
4) Literature Festival Volunteer - so much fun!


Four movies I have watched more than once:
1) Mamma Mia - I saw it at the cinema five times...

2) The Sound of Music - I watch this at least once a year, mainly for Captain Von Trapp...

3) A Knight's Tale - One of my all time favourites, and where I first fell in love with Heath Ledger.

4) Bridget Jones' Diary - My sister and I have watched this so much we can quote the entire thing!


Four books I would recommend:
1) The Secret Garden
2) The Night Circus
3) The Age of Innocence
4) The Time Traveler's Wife


Four places I have lived:
1) North Yorkshire
2) Kingston Upon Hull - It's a lot nicer than it's reputation makes it out to be!
... and that's it haha


Four places I have visited:
1) Sorrento, Italy
2) Rome, Italy
3) San Francisco, California
4) Paris, France


Four places I would rather be right now:
1) Travelling around Europe
2) Neverland
Aside from that I'm pretty happy where I am :)


Four things I don't eat:
1) Beetroot. Just yuck.
2) Lamb. All other meat is fine but I just don't like the taste of it.
3) Sprouts. A childhood aversion that will stay with me for life I think!
4) Tuna. Tastes and smells like catfood to me. Not that I know what catfood actually tastes like!
I used to be a ridiculously fussy eater,  but it took me ages to come up with this list! How times change... 

 

Four of my favourite foods:
1) Scottish pineapple tarts. They are my absolute guilty pleasure.
2) Spaghetti Bolognese because it's my signature dish
3) Golden Syrup - I have a very sweet tooth
4) Bread. Any kind of bread.


Four TV shows that I watch:
1) Agent Carter - I'm a huge Captain America/Marvel fan, and I  need that hat!

2) New Girl - Actually my favourite sitcom ever!

3) The Musketeers - I'm a sucker for any and all period dramas!

4) Sherlock - because Benedict Cumberbatch!


Four things I am looking forward to this year (2015):
1) Hopefully some fun job opportunities.
2) Visiting friends who live far away.
3) Lots of great films coming out this year!
4) Lots of reading, of course!


Four things I'm always saying:
1) 'I found this on Tumblr...'
2) I'm always making movie references. Mainly Mean Girls and Bridget Jones quotes. I even got them into some of my essays at university!
3) 'Have you seen my... ' - I'm always losing stuff!
4) 'That reminds me of this book that I read...'


Four people I tag:
1) Tea Party Princess
2) Myra @ I'm Loving Books
3) Obsessive Compulsive Reader
4) Anyone else who reads this post!

Feature and Follow Friday: Featured Blogger!

Image
Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . And guess what... I was lucky enough to be chosen to feature this week! So welcome one and welcome all, take a look around! This week's question: post a photo of your favourite coffee mug. I haven't really got many mugs that mean much to me, but my mum got me this one for my twenty first birthday. It sits by my bed so it's the one that I always use when I'm reading. The poem on the side reads " A mug to keep for years to come, to remind me of when I was Twenty One ." So cute! Interview Questions: When did you start blogging? I started blogging last December. I graduated from university with an English Lit and History degree last summer, and after leaving I found it odd no longer writing about the books that I was reading. I found myself keeping notes, which gradually turned into reviews, and the idea of starting a book blog just popped into my head one day. Little did I know ...

Top Ten "Gateway" Books/Authors In My Reading Journey

Image
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and the Bookish . This week the theme is Top Ten Gateway Books. I really loved this topic as it made me look back over my relationship with reading, from learning to read to studying English Literature at university. Reading has always been an important part of my life, and on reflection there are a number of books that mark turning points in my reading journey.  1) Roger Red Hat - Sheila K. McCullagh The first point in any reader's journey is learning to read at school. I learnt with what Google tells me were called the One Two Three and Away collection of reading books, but I've always known them as Roger Red Hat, Billy Blue Hat, Jennifer Yellow Hat etc.  I remember around ten years ago a friend whose mum used to be a teacher found the books in her attic and we re-read them all in an afternoon. 2) The Tale of Mrs Tiggywinkle - Beatrix Potter A childhood staple. Family visits to the Lake District, The World of Beatrix...

Review: Victoria by Daisy Goodwin

Image
I've always been very interested in the life of Queen Victoria. It's hard not to be when you're named after her! So it was with some delight that I discovered ITV were making a television series all about her early years, penned by the wonderful Daisy Goodwin. Despite my initial frustration to discover that the majority of the series was filmed within an hour's drive of my house and I knew nothing of it, I was glued to my screen every night for the eight week duration (Captain Poldark had to wait for iPlayer). So when I heard that Daisy had written a novel to accompany the series, complete with extra scenes, well I headed straight online to pre-order it. The cover is beautiful and perfectly fitting, and I dived right in as soon as it arrived. "In June 1837, the eighteen-year-old Victoria wakes up to find that she is Queen of the most powerful nation in the world. But will she be queen in her own right, or a puppet controlled by her mother and the sinister Sir John ...
