What I’m reading and Giveaway!

I have never been the type of person to run out and do what everyone else is doing but I was hearing a lot of good things about this particular book and books are something I don’t play with! I read a lot and I love the way I can get completely lost in a book.

The people who read my blog know that I love fashion and makeup but people who know in in real life know that I always have a book on the go.

When I start a book that is the book  am reading, I can’t stop one book half way through and start another. That’s also something that bothers me about book series, I can find a series to read and absolutely love it and read the 2 or 3 books that have been released really quickly but waiting for the next book to come out seriously drives me crazy. I’m not even kidding I must be in the middle of reading more that 15 series of books at the moment and I’m sure a few of them I will just never get back to.

At the moment my focus is on stand alone books that once they are done they can go on the shelf and I have closure. When I heard about The Goldfinch I knew it was something that I wanted to read. what I usually do is buy a book on my Kindle and if I fall in love with it I will buy a hard copy for the bookshelf. When I moved to the Midlands last year I gave soooo many books to charity and only kept the ones I could;n’ live without because I just didn’t have space for so many.Now I am back living in London and although I want to keep the collection small there are some books I just want to have.

Purely from reading the reviews and trying to dodge spoilers like a ninja I decided to buy The Goldfinch in hard copy straight away. This so not a book review because I am not very far into the book at all but I wanted to share with you guy what I am reading at the moment and maybe do a brief review of the book when I am done if people are at all interested.

Also while I am on the subject of books I recently came into contact with another blogger who makes amazing this using origami and fabrigami. When I saw that she makes beautiful heart shaped bookmarks I knew I had to have some so I contacted her to ask if she would make me some in some really cute ‘girly’ print paper and she agreed and not only that but she offered to send me a pack of cute bookmarks to giveaway to one of my readers whoop whoop. I haven’t done a giveaway in forever. You can find Chloe’s origami and crafty things here
