Five years ago I was lucky enough to see Coldplay headline and close Oxegen festival in Dublin, before they released Mylo Xyloto and embarked on a worldwide tour. I'd always been a fan of Coldplay, but that show changed my life. I can honestly credit it as one of the few times I've felt pure… Continue reading Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams Tour

I was at a loss for what to read during our library lesson last week, so I found myself back at the Sarah Crossan section, having recently enjoyed One when I read it in May.

I was quite anxious, it was a surprise treat… Continue reading Harry Potter and the House Elves on Strike
