The Reading Nook
Let’s Get Tucked In
Found something tempting in the Library next door? Lovely. Pull up an armchair, settle into your coffin or spin yourself a web in the corner over there.
This is the room where I tell you what I’ve been chowing down on and what I thought once I’d finished. My tastiest reads get a dazzling purple frame to tantalise the taste buds.
Pick through the reviews below. You might find your next bite or discover that we have completely different palates. Either way, settle in. I’ve put the kettle on and bought the Custard Screams!
