‘World Book Day’

For the Book & Virgin lovers amongst you, it may have come to your attention that last Thursday (3rd March) was in fact ‘World Book Day’. Yes, I’m just as intrigued and puzzled as you are, in trying to understand why one felt it necessary to simplify the value of books into the small, short space of 24 hours…

Nevertheless, for this post I ask for you to share the recent books you’ve read recently or (still reading) and have been most fond of!
