Now here's a book for me! A book, about reading books! I feel like this is the sort of book you should read tucked up in a chair with a hot drink in Autumn. I'm too sentimental.
Our author, Susan Hill is a fiction and non-fiction writer, and great book lover, who lost among her sea of unread books, decided to halt her endless purchase of new books, and explore her expansive library of books collected over her lifetime.
This was a charming wee book to read, and finished all too soon: i felt if she'd had a bigger book, she could have gone into greater depth about her collection. Essentially it was a journey through some of her favourite authors, and books, why they were her favourites and some fantastic insights into books and reading. Books vs Kindle for example?
A great holiday read, and fantastic for encouraging you to read more and enjoy the books you have!
8/10 (purely because it should have been longer.)
