Hello my book friends, it’s been a while since my last discussion post. A good month ago I did a Bookshelf Tour post and I enjoyed talking about bookworms accommodating to space restrictions and lots of books. If you missed it then check it out here. So Ella commented on my post, and asked about a how I would organise my bookshelf if I had bookcases, so I thought I would dedicate a post to it.

It’s only really yesterday when I was talking to Steph from Booklovereaders that I feel I need to change how I read. I need a balance not only in life but also in my book choosing. Are you a TBR Lister? A TBR is a ‘To be Read’ list or pile. Sometimes these can help readers and bloggers as we have so many […]
