Hi There Book Lovers!

                 Hi there I'm Jo and welcome to my booktastic blog! I love reading and I have loved it ever since my childhood.
                Over the last year I have allowed book to fall on the back burner and spent most of my time watching tv and playing video games. During this time I would find myself looking at my bookshelf or flicking through the titles of books on my kindle, and sadly think to myself "I haven't got time to read", I hated feeling like this but couldn't pull myself out of the rutt I was in.
                I made a new years resolution that I would find half an hour a day to spend reading. I am so glad that I pushed myself to read everyday, because I have fallen in love with reading all over again.
I wanted to be able to keep track of the book I read and what I thought about them, and also to keep track of the book I have bought.
               So I decided to make this blog where I will post reviews of books that I have read, hauls of book that I have bought, wrap ups of what I have read that month, so I can keep track of my reading life and share my love of book with the world.

Buy Now: The Book Depository Amazon UK Amazon US Kindle UK “ I didn't know where my legs were taking me. I lost myself in the maze of corridors, my awe increasing with every turn. It wasn't a welcoming place - there were few windows and most of the light came from gas lamps fashioned to look like torches or the occasional spotlight, which would highlight an alcove containing an expensive-looking painting or vase - but it was certainly grand. There was wood panelling...

But then he jerked away and yelped . „

After a bit, I calmed down and do you know what I did then?" I shook my head, trying not to look at his face. His eyes were g...
