I was sent these Book Buddys for this giveaway. All thoughts are my own A friend bought me a Book Buddy for my birthday last year and I flippin' love it.

As of Wednesday, I've finished 62 books so far this year. My Goodreads target was 50, so I reckon that's pretty good going, even though some of them have been on the short side. With four working weeks left of the year, I reckon I can tick off a few more yet. Here are some… Continue reading What I’ve been reading lately #11

The Wizard of Oz is one of my all-time favourite films and I'm pleased to say that Warner Bros won't be holding back at all with the 75th anniversary edition.
