I love to listen to audiobooks, often popping my earbuds in when I am hanging out washing or doing other housework, when I am working on my iPad, or when I am lying in the dark resting my eyes during a bad head day. I have an audible subscription where I pay for a number …
Nobody wants to read anything too serious when summertime rolls around, do they? I know I certainly don’t. Not that my reading is usually so very high brow, of course, but when the sun is shining and I’m lazing in the park with a book as the girls play, I just want some happy fluffy fiction …
Georgie and Lydia have a lot of books, all over the house. We have bedtime story books, board books, and stacks of downstairs books that they read with me & James, or by themselves. Ever since we got You Choose, by Pippa Goodhart & Nick Sharrat, it has been her firm favourite. I think I …
Ad disclosure: I was sent two Quick Reads paperbacks and a bar of Galaxy as a thank you for posting about the Quick Reads scheme. This post reflects my unbiased opinion. When I was offered some books and chocolate to enjoy, I wasn’t about to say no. I am a book addict… I’m one of …
Ooh, I do love a bit of alliteration in a title! As regular readers of my blog will know, our two girls and I have been staying with my parents since mid-December, while we wait for our house purchase to complete. Although Mum & Dad have a very impressive selection of books suitable for babies …

Hodder Children’s Books are offering a fantastic prize for me to giveaway this month; I have five sets of three 64 Zoo Lane books to giveaway, signed by the author An Vrombaut! We all love books in this house, and to my great pleasure Georgie is growing up to be a little bookworm just like her …
This afternoon I have a bundle of Pinkabella books from Parragon Books up for grabs, worth £18! Pinkabella is every pink-obsessed 4-6 year old girl’s new best friend! With a striking tumble of bright pink hair, a love of all things pink, glittery and sparkly, a wonderful best friend called Violet (guess what Violet’s favourite …
This sling bookcase, from the same World’s Apart range as Georgie’s new table & stool set, was a perfect item for us to review. Georgie is an avid reader and has definitely inherited her mother’s love of books! Frankly, we were starting to run out of places to keep her books, so a new bookcase is a welcome addition to our furniture collection!
