Grown ups love reading too!

I am a romantic soul and enjoy the old fashioned love stories of a time gone by. This is why Jane Austen is my favourite author. EMMA is such a classic, there is something charming about this story including Mr Knightley. Making time to get lost in a book is so relaxing and thrilling. I recently read Me before you by author Jojo Moyes after watching the film. Reading each page just made me linger on every word and capture every moment. A story about love, learning and letting go

I have always loved reading and like all types of books fiction, non fiction and biographies. When I was younger I really enjoyed Enid Blyton books like The Magic Faraway Tree, The Famous Five and the Malory Towers series. The most challenging book I have read is Les Miserables and the book I am reading in the picture is Frank Lampard's biography as I am a Chelsea fan.

There is something very special about getting lost in a book. Each page is a new part of the adventure and time runs away with you, especially when you're reading with a cup of tea under a snuggly blanket. I will never forget my primary school teacher sharing the story the BFG by Roald Dahl, which is now my favourite. Sophie, befriends a giant, who is an outcast because, unlike others of his kind, he refuses to humans. A story of friendship and adventure and one that will have a special place on the book shelf so it can be reread again and again and again...
