many books!
I love books.
It’s a simple fact.
The problem is, even though I’ve got a Kindle, I’m still hopelessly addicted to hardbacks and paperbacks.
And that’s a problem. I’m always running out of shelf-space and so my books begin to take over the floor – I think the photo speaks for itself!

It’s that time of year when the radio starts playing christmas songs, the shops are full of gift ideas, and you start thinking about what gifts you’ll be getting for your nearest and dearest.
So what’s on your list?
Are you planning on getting your friends and family (or yourself) a bookish gift this year?
Perhaps a book that’s delighted you and kept you reading late into the night, or a pretty eReader cover you just know will be perfect, or a voucher for one of the book shops so your loved one can pick their own books.

I’ve always been a real hoarder of books, but recently my ‘To Read’ pile seems to have grown far more than usual.
On my list at the moment I’ve got:
And with the darker nights drawing in, it’s the perfect time to curl up by the fire and read my way through them.
What’s on your ‘to read’ list at the moment?
Just saw this on Sonya Heaney’s excellent blog. A perfect and unique gift for all book loving ladies out there.
It’s raining outside, and the lure of the internet and online shopping calls …
But what to buy on this lazy, rainy, Sunday?
Well, after ordering a generous helping of books – pre-reading for the MA course I’m starting in September – I head on over to http://www.literarygiftcompany.com/
The Literary Gift Company site is a gorgeous treasure trove of wonderful (and often rather random) literary related items.
Today, one in particular caught my eye.  This lovely bag featuring a well-known Borges’ quote is eye-catching, cheeky, and also includes a donation to the National Libraries Day cause.  And at £5 it’s a bargain!
Happy Sunday!
