I am a 26 year old Event Coordinator in the North East of England and a total bookworm!I live in a lovely little house with my husband and my dog Missy, although my dream home is the cottage from 'The Holiday' as I love nothing more than country walks and fresh air.I love to get recommendations from others on new books and authors and want to return the favour as well as sharing my favourite books, authors, places and things to do for people who love to get lost in a new world started between crisp new pages like I do :-)
