A curated list of my favourite things

Looking for some of the tools I use, or just looking for some of my bookish favourites? On this page, I list only the best.

Online bookstores I love

Note: This page contains some affiliate links. I only recommend the products that I love and have used myself.

Bookshop.org

Bookshop.org is a great alternative to Amazon because it supports independent and local bookstores. Check out some of my favourite books from there with the link below.

Libro FM

Libro.fm

Libro is not just an alternative to Audible. It's a champion for supporting local, independent bookstores. Check out some of my favourite books from there with the link below.

Dryad Books Logo

Dryad Books

Who doesn’t love an independent online bookstore? I sure do! They stock special editions, new releases, and when they send you books - they’re beautifully wrapped with care.

better world books

Better World Books

If you're searching for an alternative to Amazon, especially in terms of the variety and range of books you can get your hands on, this might be your new favorite spot.

World of Books

Unlike Amazon, which primarily deals in new books, World of Books is a breath of fresh air in the world of pre-loved literature.

libby

This lovely platform enables you to borrow ebooks, audiobooks, and even magazines from your local library, all for a grand total of £0.

YOUTUBE/Instagram TOOLS

Note: This page contains affiliate links. I only recommend the products that I love and have used myself.

Canon camera

Canon EOS M50 Compact System Camera

This is the camera I use for my YouTube videos and the photographs I take on Instagram. It has never failed me.

sigma lens

Sigma 302971 Lens 30Mm

I use this lens on my Canon camera. It allows me to achieve that blurry background look on my videos and Instagram photos.

rode mic

RØDE VideoMic Pro

This is the microphone I use for all my videos. I attach it to a mic stand and link it up to my Canon so I can get it nice and close.

Tripod

K&F Concept 72" Overhead Tripod

This tripod has been so helpful when taking Instagram photos. I can angle it down for flat lay-style photos, and it can get real tall. I also use this for my YouTube videos.

Ulanzi Smartphone Tripod Mount

I attach this to my tripod so I can mount my phone for Instagram reels. It’s incredibly sturdy and hard-wearing - way better than a plastic one.

lighting

RALENO LED Video Lighting Kit

These are the lights I use for both Instagram and YouTube. The best thing about them is that you don’t have to plug them in unless you need to charge them. Which means you don’t have to sit right next to a plug socket!

Epidemic Sound

Epidemic Sound

I use Epidemic Sound for the background music in every video I create. It saves me so much time searching for decent lofi background music.
