A New Year, A New Blog

Happy New Year! 

2016 has arrived with a bang and I am so excited to start a new year of reading and discovering all I can about what it means to be a reader and to discover the world of books like never before.  I love reading and I love books, bookshops, libraries and the world of books in general.  A perfect day for me is having a hot cup of tea or coffee in my favorite mug and reading.  This year I will be taking part in reading challenges and readathons.  The first of which will be Bout of Books 15.  I am also taking part in the 2016 Reading Classics Challenge hosted by Prettybooks@prettybooks.wordpress.com  I really enjoy and am motivated to read more when there is a goal or a challenge to take part in.  I am looking forward to what this year holds for me in general and specifically in reading.  I would love to know what you are looking forward to in your year of reading.
