Gossip Girl; Blair Waldorf
I have always been Team Queen B! Right from the very first episode of Gossip Girl; Blair is feisty, fierce and downright evil but god I love her for that. She wants what she wants and God help the person or persons who get in her way; friend, family or foe. The Blair Waldorf take…

Madam Reads: Just A Family Affair by Veronica Henry
A book that stays with you for all time. That’s what I think each time I go back to this book. It’s a bloody good read. The Liddard family are local legends in the Village of Honeycote, but not everything is as rosy as one would imagine looking from the outside in. There is a…

Argo.
This is, without a doubt, my favourite movie of the year and Ben Affleck deserves an Oscar for his direction. He gives a flawless and tense adaptation of real life accounts of the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979. I wasn’t born at the time but I got much of the story from school and my…
