Hello!

It was my birthday this week and I was very lucky and received some lovely books. I can’t wait to get reading them all.

  • She Says She’s My Daughter by Lauren North – Has sat on my wish list for a very long time so I was really excited to finally receive a copy to read.
  • Cleopatra’s Daughter by Jane Draycott – Is another book that has been sat on my wish list for a very long time.
  • Jane Austen’s Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney – I was so excited to receive this from my wonderful husband and I can’t wait to read it!
  • Feminist History for Everyday of the Year by Kate Mosse – This was another book that I asked for for my birthday and I was so happy to receive it from my in laws.
  • Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen – Another birthday gift from my wonderful husband. It is absolutely beautiful and I can’t stop looking at it.

Happy Reading

Hello!

I have had two books this week arrive from Waterstones that I had preordered and my birthday was on Sunday so I also had some lovely books.

Waterstones

I am busily preparing my Christmas reading and these are two the first to be added to the list. I actually bought the Susanna Clarke for my husband but I am hoping I can borrow it.

Birthday Presents

I collect editions of The Lord of the Rings and I was lucky to receive a 50th Anniversary edition that I don’t own. I also received a Folio Society edition of Jaws. As some of you know I am a little bit obsessed with Alison Weir so my wonderful husband bought me one of her books that has been on my wish list for ages.

I also received a book voucher so I will be visiting a local bookshop and buying more books soon!
