Another blog resurrected

Not that I'm sure exactly when I'm going to find time to actually read a book, what with a new baby, alloment, three other children, DH, dog, two guinea pigs, three chickens, a house to decluter and organise...

Well, a girl needs a little time out now and again, doesn't she?

Just to reassure you that I haven't lost the book bug, this is what I've bought over the past year from Amazon.
