Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 23
📝 What are you studying? I am set to start my masters in English Literature at Oxford University this autumn. Last year, I finished my English Literature degree at Exeter and am currently on a gap year.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📚 Do you have a book club? Yes! You can join it here for free: fable.co/club/reading-with-th...
📝 Have you written a book? My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: bit.ly/3wgsR85
🍵 What's your favourite tea? That's a REALLY hard one, but I think I'd have to say the B&B Chocolate Digestive Tea: bird-and-blend-tea-co.sjv.io/... (affiliate link)

Dear Ruby, I’m not sure why I’m feeling emotional at this video, but I am. I see so much of myself in you and, having felt like I’ve abandoned certain parts of myself over the years, I feel somehow emboldened by this video. You take care of your body and mind with so much discipline and I hope to do the same. You take care of your connections with friends and family with so much love and nurture. I feel I have much to learn. I miss the spark I see in you that I once saw in myself and I want to thank you for reminding me of it, for reminding me how I want to be in the world, and if one day we meet I hope you won’t mind if I give you a hug. With love, Bethan

But you can do it, you can get yourself back. X

I think another reason why you love so much your own company its because you spend that time doing things or learning about something that you love, and i think that its so empowering. Honestly making time for other people takes away so much from the process of creating or achiving our own goals. I definitely have to learn to put limits on the time i spend with other people.

I just finished last week rereading the four agreements, have you read it? If not it is a great recommendation.

I value my time so do not feel bad putting down a book but this attitude also allows me to get introduced to new books and genres I never would have read before.
