10 days, 4 dogs
For the next 10 days or so I have 4 dogs. It's a nightmare to walk my own two, but now I need to go for double the walks. There is no way that I can handle 4 at once ( Read more... ) -
seeking confidence and inspiration
So I've been following this community for some time now, almost a year I think! Yet I still post very rarely. I still keep my reviews hand written in a diary and somehow don't have the confidence to post them online in any way. For some reason I don't feel anyone will be interested in what I have to say.

White Wedding
I'm thinking far too much of weddings and marriage lately.

But I feel obligated to continue because its the first ever ARC that I've won. The premise of the book looked really good, but I can't get into the writing style ( Read more... )
