I am an avid reader, whom, has a child would consume books losing myself in the world of stories. My dad would buy me ladybird books from a young age and sit on my bed every night reading me the story. We continued this tradition with our sons, buying an old rocking chair and my husband would sit with them on his lap reading stories. On our family holidays I would purchase a stack of new books to take with us for them to devour during the drive or in the evenings. These days they are all grown up and only one has continued with a love of books.

I have a love hate relationship with ebooks. I love the smell and feel of a physical book, but ebooks have their place, they are great for travelling, if you had seen the amount of books I pack when I travel you would wonder why I didn’t convert to an ebook sooner.

I do now own an ebook so I can download and review books but I think my love for the smell and feel of an actual book will ensure I still buy physical books.
