Hi Abboe. Thank you so much for the follow! I’m sorry I’m so late getting back to you, but I’ve been having a blogging break in order to concentrate on my third book. Reading is a passion with me, too, and I’ll look forward to following your thoughts about books – as well as all the other topics you post about. I’m not on Facebook, so I can’t follow you there, but I’ve recently joined Twitter, so will happily follow your tweets. 🙂
I love the way you’ve done this page, by the way. The handwriting is really effective. 🙂

My book is moving along quite well now, thanks Abbie. I let myself get very behind last year so I need to put a sprint on now. Unfortunately, it means spending little time on my blog for a while. I’ll be popping on every so often over the next few weeks, though. Looking forward to following you, too. 🙂
