First posts are a nightmare.

Once I get into this blogging lark I am sure I'll be perfectly fine, but starting to write is hard, so I'll just jump in.

I love books, more than pretty much any material item that I can think of. I love fashion, I love skincare and beauty, I love music and good tv, but I LOVE books. In my head I am Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail, with my little independent bookshop that children and adults love to visit, and good hair and knitwear. Nora Ephron was a genius.

This is all somewhat to the bewilderment of my husband, who likes books, but fails to understand why all the bookshelves in our house are overflowing, my Kindle account is very actively used and the courier who delivers my Book People orders drives to my house on auto-pilot. The latter is a bit embarrassing, I'll concede. 

Anyway, books and reading are my thing, and I really enjoy being able to recommend amazing books to friends, so I thought I could do so here, and if I have any readers, they can tell me what they are reading, and so on. Or, if no one reads this, I can just write to myself about my favourite books. That would be a bit weird though, so please read!

      Ahhh, thanks Fi! I always love our book chats- they are definitely one of the reasons that starting a blog seemed like a good plan! xx

    I can never choose a good book, I always pick rubbish ones! The only good ones I read are recommended by other people. So I hope u like the same sort of books as me!

      I'll try! The good thing about reading is that there is a book out there for everyone- we just all need pointing in the right direction sometimes!
