If there is one thing that many people have realised about myself in the last few years, it is that I love books. And always have.
The appeal of a bookshop is sometimes too hard to resist, the majestic bookcases full of every variety of book, the independence of choosing what YOU want and most of all, that smell of thousands of books in one place. Those that love books also should understand what I mean.
I started Rebecca-Books on 17th February 2010 with a quick, really bad review of a Sarah Dessen book. I only got serious about blogging in July/August of the same year after finding more book blogs that I originally thought existed.
I love blogging and book-reading. I love the smell of new and old books, be it freshly printed paper or the musty smell of age. I have a fear of buying books with my own money in case I don't like said book. I also feel like there is not enough time in life to read the hundreds and hundreds of books I would love to read.
