How I read 54 books last year and what they were

In January 2014 I took up the challenge to read 52 books in the year. I really wasn’t sure I’d manage to do it but I’ve always been a book worm and I missed reading, I was also sick and fed up of evenings spent scrolling through social media whilst half watching the TV.… Read more

Which I thought I might just manage. You see I quite often read a book in a day, if it’s a me day or when I’m on holiday, but then other books can take me 3 or 4 weeks to read.… Read more

Baby book to make you smile

As I have mentioned before, I was lucky enough to go to BritMums Live back in June, and whilst I was there I was introduced to Parragon Books. They were looking for bloggers to review various books of theirs, and as a HUGE bookworm I couldn’t resist. It was pretty crazy at BritMums Live so I just grabbed the two baby books they were offering for review, and I have finally had some time to look at them with and without our 9 month old daughter, C.… Read more
