Hello!


Are there any book fans here?


I love books they are my absolute fav thing. I have a huge collection of books, some are old and some are new. Probably the oldest I’ve got is early Agatha Christie ones, and, some Charles Dickens ones as well. I’ve read them all many times before and I always go back to them, especially my fav ones! My fav books are the Harry Potter series, Twilight, Narnia Chronicles and Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit! I just bought the last Harry Potter book but with the adorable new cover... Makes a really lovely set.


I spend most of my time reading. I get tired pretty quick but I do still like reading each day. I have a Kindle as well but I prefer physical books. I love the smell that some of the older ones have. It’s one of the few smells that don’t trigger my hyper-sensitivity!

What’s your fav book? What are you reading right now?
Have a beautifully sunny and fabulous day!

  • My favourite book has to be The Folk of the Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. Admittedly, it's been a good many years since I last read it.

    From the moment I learnt to read, I was a bookworm (mainly fiction). This continued until I was in my 30s and developed floaters in my right eye, which I find rather distracting. I still read from time to time, but the days of me finishing a book within a matter of days are long gone.

    Eye floaters are a pain aren't they. I have a blind spot in my left eye which is there all the time and it's big so reading is done mostly with my good eye now. 

    That sounds a great book I've added to my reading list.

    Much to my frustration, the eye with the floaters is my good eye. The vision in the other eye is so poor that even with glasses, everything looks blurred and as though I am trying to see through fog. When I'm reading, the floaters appear as two black dots in the centre of my field of vision. I am sorry to read about the large blind spot in your left eye.

    The Folk of the Faraway Tree is aimed at readers aged 5+. It features some rather eccentric characters and magical lands at the top of the tree.

    In all honesty, as frustrating as my floaters are, the prospect of eye surgery (or any kind of surgery) doesn't really appeal.

    As for Enid Blyton, have you ever read any of the Malory Towers books?
