About
Hi! I'm Becky and welcome to my literature blog, 'From Pages To Stages'! I'm a second-year English Literature student at the University of Southampton, and I created this blog because I wanted a space where I could share my thoughts on books, plays, and the odd film or TV adaptation with people who, like me, love talking about books and all things English-related! I hope you enjoy reading my posts and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
About me:
Likes: board games, socks with groovy patterns on them, trying out new recipes, swimming, Dungeons and Dragons, and caring for my many houseplants
Dislikes: pigeons, rocket (as in the salad ingredient, not as in the spacecraft), and moths
Favourite book: 'This is Going to Hurt' by Adam Kay
Programme recommendations: Mock the Week (BBC), Would I Lie to You? (BBC), The Society (Netflix), Dark (Netflix), Masterchef (BBC), Escape to the Chateau (Channel 4), and anything narrated by David Attenborough!
