Reading Lists...

The books I have waiting to read are far too many to list!...

But I have a couple that I am enjoying at the moment, both shabby chic styling porn :)  

Neither require any actual reading if you don't want to and just looking at the pictures is enough.  I love to spot the little nic nac's that I manage to find for Priddy Priddy and spot the bits n pieces that I love around my own home

I have to confess that I saw this one in Mollie Makes and hmmed a bit but then saw it over on Attic 24 and thought what the heck

I LOVE IT!  Like I said nice n easy, no work required and plenty of feel good factor

After enjoying it so much I got a bit trigger happy and went on to get this as well

In all honesty it's not my favourite BUT I am enjoying flicking through it and am finding a lot of inspiration for Priddy Priddy 

And waiting for this to arrive

Im not sure what to expect from it...but I have had a look through Mariah Bruehl's website and it looks pretty interesting.  I have enough books now which give me the theory but Im lacking on inspiration to actually put it into action.  Her 'method/style' seems to be very me friendly.

I hold my hands up to a book addiction which would explain my 'need' for the kiddos to read, no scratch that the 'want' for them to want to read/write!  

The oldest two aren't keen readers or writers but they are exceptionally artistic and find ways to express their ideas through their artwork so I can't complain.  

And yes I know libraries are wonderful resources and use them to satisfy my cook book cravings (libraries and boot sales with the odd charity shop find thrown in) BUT I have to own the book, to be free to pick it up when the whim takes me.  I've also thought about a kindle but I am just old fashioned in that I love actually having the book!  

If I get brave I may list the books I have on my shelf waiting to be read...99% bought second hand for a fraction of the price!
