I’ve always enjoyed reading – as a child, I remember visiting the library regularly and taking my full allocation of books and finishing them within days!

Much to my husband’s dismay, our house is full of books, which collect loads of dust, and I’m sure I won’t get round to reading them all, especially as I’ve got a few thousand on my Kindle too!

Having two children has curbed my reading habit quite a lot. There was one book that sat by the side of my bed for months and I rarely got the chance to pick it up and read it. I’m not sure I ever did finish that one!

Now my boys are aged six and three, I’ve been able to start reading a lot more frequently. Last year, I joined The Motherload® Book Club on Facebook, which really got me back into reading and I’ve discovered lots of new authors and been able to talk about all kinds of books with like-minded people.

I decided to start a blog after winning a book (I Looked Away by Jane Corry) in a competition and being invited to join the blog tour, so here we go!
