Hello! I hope you're all having a good week. Today, my Mum and I are answering your questions on book collecting and building a home library. Please see links below for my recommendations on buying vintage books and some favourite publishers. Do let me know if you consider yourself a book collector and what type of books you collect. Or are you tempted to build a collection now?

BOOK CLUB: I host the Comfort Book Club with my Mum, and every month we pick a comforting read and discuss it on the last Friday of the month (along with a baking session!). Everyone is very welcome to read along with us. The August comfort read is 'China Court' by Rumer Godden. See our other chosen reads for Autumn - Christmas here: [ Ссылка ]
