About Me

I live in the UK and work as a Library Assistant, which for me is like being a kid in a candy store. I LOVE books, i don't know how anyone can live without them.
Working in a Library is fantastic as it means i have easy access to thousands of different books and can always find something to read. Reading is my escape, a way to leave the world behind and have fantastic adventures.
I love sharing my experiences of books, so this blog is my outlet. Every book I read, I will then post a review of. I try to be positive but if i don't like a book i will genuinely say so. All of my reviews will be personal, original and most importantly honest.
I never give up on books, even if i don't like them i persevere in order to give them a fair chance.

I am an aspiring author - I have written one book which I am trying to get published and am half way through writing a second with loads more hopefully to come.  If anyone has any tips on getting into the business I'm willing to hear them!
Any publishers reading this blog - you're welcome to get in touch. :D


So off i go with a book in my hands.... as usual! :D


I love to do Giveaways etc on my blog, and I love to make them International so I can reach as many of you as possible, but as I don't have limitless funds (In fact most of the time I am broke) I have set up a 'Donate' button, any contribution is welcome and will ensure more Giveaways will take place. I thank you all for your generosity. :D

Isn't working for the library great???? I miss it myself, being surrounded by books and having the ability to get others to share your love of the printed word.

Just popping in to say Hi! Loving the blog, especially the hedgehogs. It'll soon be time to make trees again - maybe an angel or two too?
