Since becoming a full time mum my life has been pretty busy, however I do manage to squeeze in some time to read.

I initially started posting what I had read both personally and what I read to my son on Instagram, then I found the wonderful app that is Goodreads. I then started posting reviews on there and thought why not set up a blog?

I wanted my blog to be something different so this blog is based on either books I have borrowed from the library or are free/cheap on Kindle. In my opinion reading should be made available to everyone whatever their budget, plus I am hoping that it will get people back to using their local libraries!

In addition to the above, and in order to keep my Blog relevant, I do also take part in Blog Tours which allow me to read new books coming out.

Following on from Blog Tours and Author requests, I am sometimes lucky enough to be able to do an Author Q and A so keep your eyes peeled for those!

In order to try and focus my reading material I set myself genre goals at the beginning of the month to try and achieve, but of course if a book catches my eye or I am on a Blog Tour I will deviate a bit!
