Blind Date with a Book

I've updated the blog so that I have "pages" which help to filter out posts related to certain topics.  Books, it turns out, is my main thing. I'd love to continue to do more about books and travel - my two favourite hobbies, so easily combined.

I've been toying with this idea for a while and after chatting with my new friend (hurrah! New friend!) about books and how her sister, who works in publishing, has been sending her random books to read without any explanation, I decided to go for the plunge.

I am having blind dates with books.

It is not, as my fiance immediately assumed, me meeting people who've read the same book. No, it is subscribing to six months of book deliveries (the subscription works out cheaper than ordering 6 books individually and paying the postage) from Blind Date with a Book.com

I've chosen Romantic, Adventure, Mystery, Historical, Humorous and Dark Humour as genre/categories.  We'll see what we get.

And, prone to spotting books that interest me whenever I'm in a book store, highstreet or online, I ordered a "Fairytale Spoof" that is apparently funny and hits every note I love to look for.

So we shall see!

In the mean time, I'm back-dating and blogging stuff just cause I have a backlog of interesting (in my humble opinion) stuff to write about!
