This is where I will list my most favourite books as I read and review them. As my blog is still in its infancy I’m going to list some of my all-time favourite books and will come back to add reviews as and when I can. The books on this page will have scored 10/10 on my rating system but will have that magical something extra that just puts them beyond any rating!
