Read, read, read, read!
Having been given the above advice by the ever wonderful Mary Beard, I’ve decided to make a list of all the fiction / non-fiction books I would like to read!
I’m hoping, maybe monthly to write a small review of the books I’ve read! If there are any books you think I’ve missed from the list, or if you want me to review any books, drop me a message!
(Please note this is very much a work in progress)
