Reading in Progress

You may have noticed my lack of posts on my blog recently, and more markedly, the lack of book reviews. Fear not, I have not stopped reading. My friend Elaine and I have decided to set up a blog dedicated to book reviews and news as we both read a huge amount and thought it would be a good idea to pool efforts.

Please check it out and add it to your reading list! http://readinginprogress.blogspot.com

My intention is to use this blog to talk (and rant) about the important things in my life and other bits and bobs. Watch this space for new posts....

New look

I've had a nightmare fiddling round with my blog tonight!! I wanted to move it around and was trying to use backgrounds and headers from Shabby Blogs as I wanted more of a vintage look but got in a mess and just tried to get something new from what is available on Blogger.

I'm not the most technological of people, so got pretty frustrated!!

Let me know what you think!

Winter is in the air

I've been on leave for the past few days after going to see Katy Perry in concert on Wednesday. I forgot to take my camera so the ones from my phone aren't too great. Also because I'm so short I couldn't see the stage too well so I've basically only got pics of the screens.
It's been so cold the last few days, particularly after our mini heatwave a few weeks ago and it's making me not want to get out of bed or go out! I just want to stay cwtched up indoors watching tv and reading!
I've signed up to the Goodreads.com website and am finding that it is really inspiring me to read. Particularly as my friends don't read much so we can't share recommendations. My plan for the winter is to do lots of reading, drink lots of hot chocolate, eat lots of soup and get back into blogging! I haven't written a blog for months but I haven't been very well recently and really think it will help if I get back into it. Maybe even sharing day to day things will help me! I've downloaded an app for my phone so have no excuse!
Anyway, I'll stop being boring now! :)
