I love mail that isn’t bills. And bookmail is THE BEST. I look for book subscription services that ship to the UK almost every month. I even wrote to Book of the Month, asking when they were going to offer international shipping. I got a very nice, very general non-response. With the help of some bookish friends who don’t have blogs, I’ve come up with a list of book boxes that do offer international shipping options. Where do I sign…
Today we have another 3 Books, 3 Blogs. I was supposed to share this while we were in New York. Pretend it’s a long weekend, wherever you are! Hello, everyone! Although your normal lovely host is Lorna, today I’m jumping in to share three of my favourite books and three of my favourite blogs.

I’ve spent most of the weekend in Starwars yoga pants and a green Team Awesome t-shirt. Popcorn was consumed in vast quantities. Last weekend we set Isla up in a ‘big kid bed’ which matches ‘big kid school’. This is a good thing. Bed time stories happen in her room now. She falls asleep in her room now. I miss her. But we don’t have to share the popcorn any more and TV habits have changed from Postman Pat to…
