Emerging from the land of myths and legends

Posted on February 6, 2018 by Bec Graham

I bet you thought I’d forgotten you. Nope, not even close. The thing is, I have been reading nothing but Rick Riordan since July of last year. I journeyed with Percy Jackson and the Olympians, met Roman demigods in The Heroes of … Continue reading →

Posted on February 16, 2017 by Bec Graham

I am ashamed of how long it took me to read this book. I never realised how much I needed my lunch hours and time before bed to get my reading done. This actually having lovely people to talk to … Continue reading →

The Fictional Crushes Tag

Posted on January 17, 2017 by Bec Graham

When I stumbled upon this tag, I immediately bookmarked it for me to do when I had the time. A post all about fictional crushes? Are you serious? I nearly checked to make sure that I hadn’t written this tag … Continue reading →

DISCLAIMER: This is an opinion piece. It is also reactionary to the ending of Suits season 3, episode 2 “I Want You To Want Me”. Many spoilers for Suits up to, and including, this point. Also, this post won’t make a lot of sense … Continue reading →

After 15 years I’m still in love (and death)…

Posted on December 10, 2016 by Bec Graham

Yesterday was a good day, but it was good for two different Beckys. The first half was amazing for kind-of-adult Becky. I had my final probationary review at work yesterday afternoon and I passed. I now have an actual permanent … Continue reading →

Posted on October 21, 2016 by Bec Graham

As an aspiring writer (because I can’t actually remember the last time I wrote something that I completely came up with on my own), I am aware of how hard the conversational, stream-of-consciousness writing style is. I’ve tried it many … Continue reading →

Posted on October 8, 2016 by Bec Graham

I do not review classics. If you’ve been hanging around this blog for a while, you will know that I do not review classics. These are books that have been around for lifetimes before me and will probably be around … Continue reading →

Fangirl in the Real World

Posted on August 26, 2016 by Bec Graham

Last night, I dreamed of a parallel universe. I dreamed that I met the incredible Tom Hiddleston after the Brisbane stretch of Thor: Ragnarok wrapped. Got the selfie and made him laugh by pulling out my copy of The Gospel of Loki … Continue reading →
