A Bookworm’s Guide to going on Holiday

Posted August 19, 2019 by Emma in Bookish Post, Featured / 3 Comments

But that is quite the norm I understand in that part of the UK. But to be honest when you book a holiday you just go with the weather, it’s place away from home, a place to relax to reconnect with life. After returning on holiday I found myself being quite the bookworm on holiday even when I didn’t have my bookshelves. I admit I read more than I have […]
