I created a “My daddy…” photo book from love2read for James as a Father’s Day gift and I am really pleased with the end result! First impressions were great; the print quality is impressive, the photos look fantastic and the text is really crisp & easy to read.

Snap Happy Britmums – Day 9, June – What are you reading?

June 13, 2012June 9, 2012

Having just finished reading the Amelia Peabody series this week, followed by racing through a couple of chick lits, today I am starting from the beginning again with the Southern Vampire Mysteries series. I have just bought the latest book & wanted to re-read the series again first as it has been a while. This is the series that the popular tv show ‘True Blood’ is based on, and I really enjoy the books – it is another case of the books being miles better than the tv show, though I enjoy that too!

Library Love

May 14, 2012

As I have said before, Georgie loves books. She will quite often ignore a pile of toys and head straight for her bookshelves in order to get all her books down and sit looking through them. I like to keep things interesting for her, so I keep all her own books upstairs in her room …

Dear David Crossley, author of Lucy the Ladybird.

April 21, 2012

No matter how many times I read a certain board book to Georgie (and believe me, I read this one a lot as it is one of her current favourites), I just cannot get over a particular word on the last page… learn’t This isn’t actually a word though is it? The first time I …

Review: Up and Down by Oliver Jeffers

May 21, 2015April 16, 2012

Georgie is just starting to really enjoy picture books (as opposed to trying to eat them), and loves to sit on my lap and look at the pictures while I read books to her. Even though most of the picture books that we have, including this one, are too difficult for her to understand, she really loves to sit and look through any that have fantastic illustrations that are colourful and fun.

The lovely folks over at Harper Collins Children’s Books have sent the Mama Geek household some gorgeous picture books to try out, including a couple of fab Hello Kitty activity books.

Wednesday Wishlist: Amazon Kindle!

February 22, 2012

Some people are always a bit surprised to discover that I don’t have a Kindle*, given that we are a household of “technology enthusiasts” and I am such a massive fan of reading. I have to admit that although I love my iPad & iPhone 4S I would love to have an E ink e-book …

Something I Love

May 4, 2017February 9, 2012

Something I really love is reading – I have always been an avid reader and there is nothing I love more than to curl up with a good book and escape to another world for a while. If I can get away with it, I will happily read at mealtimes, in the car, on the …

Wednesday Wishlist: Babylit Board Books

November 13, 2011November 3, 2011

I’ve been away from my blog for a while, after a couple of nasty bugs which ended up with a nasty chest infection and the inevitable result of me feeling very sorry for myself! After a week of getting steadily worse I took myself along to the doctors and got a course of antibiotics – …
