When I first heard about ereaders, I was adamant that I would never want one. I love books and I wanted to remain loyal to the phyiscal format that I love so much. The smell of the pages, the feel of the book in your hand, turning the page, being able to physically see how … Continue reading Have I been converted to ereaders and ebooks?

Recently, a few people have joked that I'll have plenty to do during this time because I have plenty of books I can read. Whilst I like that this is true, it also makes me sad that I'm dreaming of hours curled up with a book, when in reality I'm snatching minutes to read a … Continue reading 7 Books I would read (if I didn't have uni work)
