So.. the past couple of years has seen a very serious decline in my reading habits. Full time work, wedding prep and an intensive degree meant very little spare time. Then of course my sewing (coughs fabric hoarding) addiction has exploded.

I used to love reading and not a day went by when I didn’t have something on the go so this year I decided to help get back in the swing of it to try the challenge initiated by Fiona of the Sewing Directory. It really does help to have some motivational support and chitter chatter about the books plus you find what others think. Overall I like to think it’s helping me achieve more of a work-life balance.
