Things have been totally crazy manic lately with the big move date crawling ever closer. It seems like most evenings are spent phoning up people or emailing others to change over details or book in internet engineers. Then there is all the actual physical packing and rubbish-tossing lark that is …
As the summer sunshine starts to brighten our days more regularly and the evening’s seem to go on forever, I thought it best to put a little post together of my recent reads. I seem to be in a bit of a YA funk of late so I decided to …
