What's On My Reading List

I love books. I always have and wouldn’t hesitate in saying that I always will, although coming from a family of bookworms it seems like an unavoidable passion to have- my mum sends me weekly book recommendations, and my dad frequents the library more than anybody I know! If you ask me there's nothing quite like getting yourself lost in a good book, and that is what I intend to do with this rather substantial list...

Not only do I love to read, but I am a compulsive book buyer too. As my Twitter bio says I am a sucker for a coffee table book and love nothing more than flicking through text and images of fashion, travel and interiors. Name a book, and chances are there’s a copy sitting on display somewhere in my home. I am shamelessly obsessed with beautiful books- although I suppose there are worse things to splurge on. Last year I set myself the challenge of reading one book a month, and this year I intend to do the same (or beat it) because not only does reading help me switch off, but I believe that there’s no greater sense of accomplishment than turning the last page of a book... plus it means it's time to start something new!
