January Book Haul
Good Morning lovely people! I hope all is well in the world of books and blogs!
I realised this morning that I hadn’t done a Letterbox Love for around 6 weeks and thats bad, I know. I wanted to but being busy and not having much time for blogging has left me a little behind. After thinking about it I know I’m not going to have much time at all from now on so I am going to stop doing a weekly Letterbox Love and just do a monthly book haul. This post is a little bit of a lie because I did get some of these books for Christmas and during December but from now on it will be a monthly post. So without further ado let me share my books!
This looks like a lot of books, I know! I bought some, got some gifted and got sent a number through the post which I wasn’t expecting! Thank you to all publishers who sent me books and people who gifted them to me!

As you may know I am expecting my first baby and of course I have turned to books for advice on how to deal with certain things. Babies for Beginners was recommended by Keris Stainton and was fantastic, I am definitely going to be referring back to that one for quite some time!
