"Books are a uniquely portable magic"

Hello! Welcome to my brand new, shiny blog!
My amazing friend Grace has set all this up for me. She has given me the push I needed to get this started, as I've been babbling on about setting this up since the summer, when I went to the Way with Words festival at Dartington Hall, Devon and met the lovely Lynne from dovegreyreader. I wrote a short review of a talk given by Roy Hattersley for her blog, so the seed of an idea was sown-and it's taken this long for me (or rather, Grace) to get my act together.
I hope to be able to use this blog to explore my own, and others, love for literature and bookshops. Living in Norwich and Devon means that I have a huge amount of lovely literary establishments at my disposal, and I'd like to share them with other like-minded people. I've read so many wonderful blogs, and I love hearing about peoples' discoveries and reading tastes-this seems the perfect way to join in!
I hope you enjoy reading my rambling thoughts on all things bookish, I'm not sure if anyone will be interested but I'm quite excited! I hope I can also get some other folks to contribute, as I am lucky enough to know many talented people. I might post some nice pictures of things like cups of tea, and dancing, and cathedrals, and scarves sometimes too, won't that be marvellous?
Please bear with me as I get to grips with this strange new world!
