More books.

I’ve spent part of the weekend up in my loft, searching through piles of books for a new supply of stories for Lily.

I love books, all genres of books fiction, poetry, craft, hobbies, cookery, lifestyle, biography, fairy tales, children’s books, nursery rhymes, educational, Christmas, coffee table books etc.

I’ve always had many books and was always encouraged to read and I in turn have always encouraged my children to read so that they too are book addicts.

The house is now groaning under the strain of them, many are now in the loft as there isn’t any room in the house but I do find it impossible to dispose of any. I used to read 2 or 3 a week but because Lily took a disliking for sleep my ability to stay awake after reading one page of a book diminished and the only one that I have finished in the last 2 years is Gordan Ramsey ‘Humble Pie’. Lily is now, at long last sleeping through the night so at least I can now attempt to read through all the fiction books that I have bought within that period. At the moment I’m reading Russell Brand ‘My Booky Wook’, Lynne Truss ‘Eats Shoots and Leaves’ and Cecilia Ahearn ‘If you Could See Me Now.'

Some of my favourites when I was young.
