Archives for January 2017

Better Than Dreams started out as a book blog called This Fleeting Dream, on which I mostly posted reviews of books that I’d borrowed from the library. Now I’m lucky enough to be on the lists for a number of publishers, and I get to read many amazing books and attend exciting events with authors and other publishing people.

Through this blog I met the other co-founders of Bookish Brits, a collaborative YouTube channel, and then I went on to start my own channel, Better Than Dreams. After a couple of years running Better Than Dreams I decided I preferred that name and renamed This Fleeting Dream to match!

This Second’s Obsession began life as a fashion blog back in 2006 when I was an undergraduate student. I didn’t have internet in my house so I used to spend my evenings in the college library, visiting my favourite blogs, saving their latest posts on a USB stick to read the next day at home, and posting on TSO. I used to write all my blog posts in Notepad during the day, and save them on a USB stick to upload at night!

Since then This Second’s Obsession has gone through several hiatuses but has been relaunched recently as a lifestyle blog. I’ve always been a woman of many interests and passions, and this is my place to write about them and how I organise my life to keep on top of it all.
