When I’m not working on my PhD or messing around on Twitter and Tumblr, I’m reading for fun.

Happy New Year, folks! I can’t complain about 2013 really; I got to spend the summer researching and writing my MA dissertation, got a distinction for it, started my PhD (making some lovely new friends in the process), and had a fab holiday in Amsterdam when I wasn’t working.
The Edwardian Only Child: All Alone On Christmas?
DISCLAIMER: This piece of research is based on the experiences of a very small number of Paul Thompson’s interview transcripts, which can be found through the UK Data Service.

Even then, I’ll have used a lot more sources and I don’t expect it to bear any resemblance to this post.
