There is no Cosmetic for Beauty Like Happiness

It just keeps growing.... yikes!

.So I read a lot, I read on the train I read on my lunch break at work I read in bed in the bath... you get it!

Anyway so I have an awful lot of books I have either bought or been given over the last couple of years that I never got around to reading whilst I was at University. So I have decided to read them now... However I also frequent the library which is literally a 5 minute walk from my house, reserve a book for 50p don't mind if I do! Its an amazing resource and one I will fight to keep open! I donated about 10 books I had finished with the other day to the library for them to sell to get some money so am feeling quite good about that at the moment.

So below is the list of books I own that I have left to read this year.
