Hello! Welcome to my little book blog!
I’m Gemma and I started my book blog back in August 2017 and I don’t regret a minute of it – it’s opened up a world of new books, new authors, new opportunities and not to mention, most importantly, new book chums!
Since a very young age I have always had a love and passion for reading and words. Some of my first memories were going to Easingwold library when I used to go stay with my Granny who worked as a cleaner there and having the whole place and all the books to myself – the dream! I grew up loving Enid Blyton stories and Lucy Daniels Animal Ark books, then when in my teen years I loved Point Horror and Sweet Valley High novels.
I read for complete enjoyment and for an escape; I cannot bear people who judge what people read stating that they aren’t proper readers – if you are reading a book, an ebook, a magazine, a comic, a newspaper it’s reading folks, and so long as you’re enjoying it then it’s no one else’s concern!
As all book bloggers do I have a never ending ‘to read’ list and little stack (*ahem* big) of books in each room of my home! A day when I don’t get to read just a little bit of a book is always a sad day.
My favourite genres to read are: Contemporary and women’s fiction, crime, police procedurals, thrillers and mystery, and well written chick-lit/romantic comedies. Although I will dabble in pretty much anything if I like the sound of it.
Besides books, I’m a tea addict, a crazy cat lady, and have an unhealthy obsession with buying pretty pyjamas and bedding. Oh, and I love a rainy day – books, tea and rain, is there a better combination?!
